OpenUp Windows builds gas-strut awning-style Pass Through Windows that open upward to 90 degrees. The opening can be used for serving, entertaining, and creating a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
When closed, the window maintains the view through the opening while its minimalist framing leaves more glass visible. Pass Through Windows can be used in kitchens, bars, pool houses, patios, and business serving areas.
OpenUp Windows’ standard insulated glass unit is 1 inch thick and uses two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass separated by a 5/8-inch air space.
Available glass options include:
Triple-silver soft coatings are available for projects where additional solar protection and efficiency are desired. (openupwindows.com)
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
OpenUp Windows uses narrow aluminum extrusions and minimalist sightlines to maximize the visible glass area. The company states that its design provides 33% more view when the window is closed.
The exterior portion of the frame uses structural extruded aluminum. It forms part of the window’s structural system rather than serving simply as a thin decorative covering.
Accoya wood forms part of the interior side of the hybrid frame. OpenUp Windows states that Accoya has been tested for dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention and is available with PEFC and FSC certification.
OpenUp Windows builds Pass Through Windows to order rather than limiting projects to standard catalog sizes. Standard sizes are available, and custom dimensions can be specified when a project requires a different opening.
OpenUp Windows offers a retractable Pleated Screen for Pass Through Windows. The screen provides insect protection while allowing the active window opening to remain accessible.
The Pleated Screen can be factory-mounted before the window ships and is available with a white or black frame. Custom sizing is also available for screens ordered after window installation.
OpenUp Windows can help customers review available sizes, glass options, frame colors, screen choices, and other project configurations before ordering. Technical information is also available for dimensions, sill options, and mounting requirements.
If a Pass Through Window isn’t the right fit for your project, OpenUp Windows also offers VENTABLE. This picture window design opens from top to bottom and is designed to provide ventilation while maintaining a large glass area.
VENTABLE can move 20% or more air compared with standard combination windows and can span up to 50 square feet of glass without wood panels dividing the view.
