OpenUp® pass-through windows create a wide opening between indoor and outdoor spaces. They are designed for kitchens, bars, pool houses, and other areas where passing food and drinks or connecting two spaces is important.
OpenUp® builds its windows to order rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. The windows combine heavy-duty extruded aluminum, Accoya® wood, and insulated glass in a minimalist design.
The gas-strut system makes the window easy to operate, while the narrow framing provides more visible glass when the window is closed. OpenUp® states that its design provides 33% more view even when closed.
OpenUp® specializes in gas-strut awning-style pass-through windows.
The window opens upward to create an active pass-through opening. This makes it useful when you want to connect a kitchen with a patio, outdoor area, bar, or other space.
OpenUp® pass-through windows are available in standard sizes, with custom options available for projects that require different dimensions. Product configurations can also include no-sill or sill options.
OpenUp® offers 1-inch insulated glass as its standard option.
The standard IG package uses two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass separated by a black spacer. This creates a 5/8-inch air pocket between the glass layers.
OpenUp® also offers glass options including:
OpenUp® recommends triple-silver soft coatings for sunny climates and southern states for maximum solar protection and efficiency.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
OpenUp® uses custom aluminum extrusions and narrow sightlines to maximize the visible glass area. The company states that its original design provides 33% more view when closed.
OpenUp® combines extruded aluminum with Accoya® wood. Accoya® is described by OpenUp® as PEFC and FSC certified and 100% non-toxic. The material has been tested for dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention and is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
OpenUp® uses heavy extruded aluminum as part of the structural window system rather than simply using aluminum as a thin exterior cladding.
The combination of extruded aluminum and Accoya® wood gives OpenUp® its hybrid framing system. The company describes this combination as providing the strength of aluminum with the insulating performance of Accoya® wood.
An ordinary fixed screen would interfere with an active pass-through opening. OpenUp® offers its exclusive retractable Pleated Screen as an alternative.
The Pleated Screen can provide insect protection while allowing you to move the screen out of the way when the full opening is needed.
OpenUp® manufactures the Pleated Screen itself. When ordered with the window, it can be factory-mounted before shipping. The frame is available in white or black.
OpenUp® offers a range of standard pass-through window sizes and also provides custom options.
Before ordering a custom window, accurate measurements are important. OpenUp® provides technical information to help with window sizing and installation planning.
Available configurations can include sill options, nailing-flange mounting, and other technical specifications depending on the window selected.
OpenUp® pass-through windows connect your indoor and outdoor spaces. When you want to keep flying insects and other critters out, the exclusive OpenUp® Pleated Screen provides insect protection while allowing you to enjoy the benefits of an open window.
Because pass-through windows are designed as an active opening for passing food and drinks, a fixed screen is not an option. The OpenUp® Pleated Screen pulls down and stays in position until you decide to move it.
Bring your kitchen and outdoor space together with an OpenUp® pass-through window. Choose from standard or custom sizing, insulated glass options, Pleated Screens, and available sill configurations to create the window that fits your project.
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.
All OpenUp® pass through windows are custom-built to order and shipped within 4-6 weeks. Up to 100% faster than the competition on windows of all sizes.
