Every project has a different opening. We offer standard sizes as well as custom dimensions, giving you flexibility when planning a kitchen remodel, patio connection, outdoor serving area, bar, or other pass-through application.
Our gas-strut system opens the sash upward to 90 degrees, creating a wide active opening while keeping the area below clear.
A pass-through window can make the space between your kitchen and patio much more useful.
Open the sash and you can pass food, drinks, dishes, and other items directly through the opening. Because the sash moves upward, you can continue using the counter below as a serving surface.
When closed, the narrow frame keeps more of the opening dedicated to glass.
Our standard insulated glass option uses a 1-inch insulated glass unit made with two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass separated by a spacer, creating a 5/8-inch air pocket between the panes.
Additional options include:
For sunny climates and southern states, we recommend triple-silver coatings when greater solar protection and efficiency are desired.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
Our narrow aluminum framing helps reduce the amount of visible material around the glass. Our design provides 33% more view when the window is closed, helping maintain a larger visible glass area.
Accoya® wood is used on the interior side of our hybrid frame. It has been tested for dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention and is PEFC and FSC certified.
We use extruded aluminum as a structural part of our hybrid frame. The aluminum is not simply a thin decorative covering. It forms part of the window structure itself.
We offer standard window sizes as well as custom dimensions for projects that require something different. This allows the window configuration to be selected around the project requirements rather than relying on a single fixed size.
Our retractable OpenUp® Pleated Screen gives you insect protection when you need it without permanently blocking the pass-through opening.
The screen works with any size OpenUp® window, can be factory-mounted before shipping, and is available with white or black framing.
When you want the opening completely clear, the screen moves out of the way.
OpenUp® offers several window configurations to suit different project requirements.
