A closed wall between your kitchen and outdoor area can make serving and entertaining less convenient. An OpenUp® pass-through window creates a direct connection between the two spaces.
The opening makes it easier to serve food and drinks while staying connected with guests. OpenUp® pass-through windows can be used in homes and businesses, including kitchens, bars, and pool houses.
Every OpenUp® window is custom-built to order. The minimalist framing also creates a larger visible glass area, helping the indoor and outdoor spaces feel more connected.
A pass-through window gives the area between your kitchen and patio a practical purpose.
When open, it creates an active opening for serving food and drinks. When closed, the narrow sightlines maintain a clear view and allow more natural light into the room.
OpenUp® pass-through windows can connect:
The homepage states that OpenUp®’s original design provides 33% more view when the window is closed.
OpenUp® combines gas-strut operation with an awning-style pass-through window design. The result is an active opening that helps connect indoor and outdoor spaces for serving, entertaining, and enjoying a wider view.
These windows can be used in homes and businesses, including kitchens, bars, pool houses, and other spaces where a more open connection is useful.
OpenUp® combines the gas-strut design with custom aluminum extrusions, Accoya® wood, insulated glass, and minimalist framing.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
OpenUp® pass-through windows link indoor and outdoor areas. The opening can be used for serving food and drinks, hosting guests, relaxing, and enjoying the view.
OpenUp® uses extruded aluminum as a structural part of the window. It is not simply a thin layer of aluminum wrapped around a standard wood window. The exterior aluminum is combined with Accoya® wood on the inside.
Custom aluminum extrusions and narrow sightlines create a larger visible glass area.
OpenUp® states that this original design provides 33% more view when the window is closed. The minimalist framing also allows more natural light into the indoor space.
Accoya® wood is used on the inside of the hybrid frame.
It is PEFC and FSC certified and described as 100% non-toxic. Accoya® has also been tested for dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention. The wood grows in responsibly managed forests and can replace scarce hardwoods and other less sustainable materials.
A fixed insect screen would block an active pass-through opening. OpenUp® offers a retractable Pleated Screen that remains out of the way until insect protection is needed.
The screen can be pulled down when you want to keep flying insects and other critters outside. It can then be moved when you want the full pass-through opening.
The Pleated Screen works with any size OpenUp® window and comes factory-mounted before shipping. Its frame is available painted white or black.
The standard OpenUp® option uses a 1-inch-thick insulated glass unit made with two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass separated by a black spacer. This creates a 5/8-inch air pocket between the panes, providing twice the insulation of a single pane.
Argon gas can replace the air between the panes to add more insulating value. Customized options include Low-E coatings, argon gas fills, laminated glass, and double- or triple-silver soft coatings.
For sunny climates, OpenUp® recommends triple-silver soft coatings for maximum solar protection and efficiency.
