An OpenUp® pass-through window creates a direct connection between spaces while giving you a functional opening for serving and entertaining. Our windows are designed for kitchens, bars, pool houses, and other residential or commercial spaces where an active opening is needed.
The gas-strut awning design opens outward to 90 degrees. Standard no-sill configurations are available, and custom dimensions can be requested when a standard size does not meet your project requirements.
A pass-through window can turn a kitchen counter into a convenient serving area. Open the window when you want to pass food and drinks through, then close it when you want to separate the spaces.
OpenUp® pass-through windows can be used for:
The same window system can connect indoor and outdoor areas while providing a large active opening.
Our standard pass-through windows use a gas-strut system to assist operation. The standard gas-strut window opens to 90 degrees or remains closed.
The gas struts are replaceable and covered by a 10-year warranty. They are also concealed when the window is in the closed position.
For projects that require adjustable positioning, the Motorized Strut Upgrade allows the window to stop at different positions rather than only fully open or closed.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
The whole point is a wide opening you can actually use, not a token gesture at indoor-outdoor flow. Serve dinner, hand someone a drink, and keep talking. No trip through the hallway required.
Some window brands wrap a thin strip of aluminum around a wood core and call it durable. This isn’t that. The extruded aluminum here is structural and load-bearing, with Accoya® wood on the interior side doing its own job.
Narrow sightlines mean the frame takes up less of the window and the glass takes up more. Even shut, you’re looking at noticeably more yard and letting in more light than a standard frame gives you.
Accoya® comes from PEFC- and FSC-certified, responsibly managed forests. It’s been tested for how well it holds its shape, how long it lasts, and how well paint sticks to it over time. In a place like Fullerton, where the wood deals with dry heat most of the year, that stability actually matters.
An active pass-through opening needs a screen that can move out of the way when the window is being used. OpenUp® offers its exclusive retractable Pleated Screen for this purpose.
The screen pulls down when insect protection is needed and moves out of the way when you want the full opening available.
When ordered with the window, the screen comes factory-mounted before shipping. The screen frame is available in white or black.
Our standard glass package uses a 1-inch insulated glass unit made with two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass. A black spacer creates a 5/8-inch air pocket between the panes.
Additional glass options include:
For sunny climates and southern states, OpenUp® recommends triple-silver soft coatings for additional solar protection and efficiency.
We offer different configuration options for your pass-through window project.
Available product options include:
OpenUp® also provides technical information covering sill options, detailed dimensions, and nailing-flange mounting to help with project planning.
Pick your size and your glass, and decide if you want the screen, and send in a request. Someone on the team will walk you through sizing questions, glass choices, and what shipping to Fullerton looks like before you commit to anything.
For the first 10 years, OpenUp® protects every piece of your window apart from the glass. For the next 40 years after that, Accoya® ensures that your wood is safe from weather and pest damage—guaranteed.
