Pass-through windows make it easier to connect your kitchen with a patio, courtyard, backyard, or outdoor entertaining space. We build our windows with a hybrid frame that combines extruded aluminum on the exterior with Accoya® wood on the interior.
All-inclusive price or custom quote in one hours.
Our gas-strut pass-through windows are designed to open upward and stay fully open at 90 degrees during use.
The upward-opening design keeps the area below the window clear, making it useful for kitchen counters, serving areas, patios, and outdoor entertaining spaces. If you prefer powered operation, we also offer a motorized pass-through window option.
A pass-through window creates a practical opening between your kitchen and an outdoor area.
You can use the opening to pass food, drinks, dishes, and other items directly between the two spaces.
Because the sash opens upward, it does not swing into the counter area below.
We customize our insulated glass packages to meet the needs of each project.
Our available glass options include:
Our standard insulated glass is 1 inch thick and uses two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass separated by a spacer, creating an insulating air space between the panes.
For sunny climates, we recommend triple-silver soft coatings for greater solar protection and efficiency.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
We use Accoya® wood because of its dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention. Accoya® is PEFC and FSC certified and is used as part of our hybrid aluminum-and-wood frame system.
We offer window configurations for different project requirements. If you are working with a custom opening, our team can help you review the dimensions and technical requirements before you place your order.
Our windows use extruded aluminum as a structural part of the frame. They are not simply wood windows covered with a thin aluminum cladding layer. The aluminum is part of the hybrid framing system itself.
We combine the strength of extruded aluminum with the performance of Accoya® wood. Our goal is to create strong products with thin frames and wide views. The aluminum forms the exterior portion of the hybrid frame, while Accoya® wood is used on the interior.
An optional pleated screen can be added to your pass-through window.
The screen provides insect protection when needed and stays out of the way when you want the opening completely clear.
OpenUp® offers the pleated screen with white or black frame options.
The screen can also be factory-mounted before the window ships, allowing the window and screen system to arrive together.
We can help you with product and technical questions throughout your project.
For technical support, you can speak directly with our production manager.
Our technical resources also provide information about sill options, detail dimensions, and nailing-flange mounting.
If a traditional pass-through window is not the right fit for your project, OpenUp® also offers VENTABLE.
VENTABLE is a large picture window designed to open from top to bottom to increase airflow while maintaining a wide glass area.
VENTABLE is an operable picture-window system from OpenUp® designed to provide increased ventilation while maintaining a large, uninterrupted glass area.
