Open up the space between your kitchen and outdoor area with an OpenUp® pass-through window.
Our windows create a wide serving opening for passing food and drinks between your kitchen and a patio, outdoor bar, pool house, or entertaining space. When the window opens, the sash moves above the opening, leaving the counter below clear and usable.
Choose from standard window sizes or custom dimensions to suit your Plano project. Available configurations and options can include different glass packages, sill arrangements, mounting features, and an optional Pleated Screen.
OpenUp® pass-through windows use a top-hinged awning design that opens upward to 90 degrees.
The gas-strut system supports the sash in its fully open position, creating a wide opening for serving and entertaining without leaving a window panel across the counter space.
These windows can be used for kitchen counters, outdoor kitchens, bars, pool houses, and other residential or commercial serving applications.
The standard gas-strut system is designed to remain fully closed or open to 90 degrees. If you want to stop the window at different positions, the optional Motorized Strut Upgrade provides adjustable operation.
OpenUp® combines Accoya® wood on the interior with structural extruded aluminum on the exterior.
Accoya® wood is known for its dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention. It is also PEFC- and FSC-certified, according to the manufacturer’s product information.
The extruded aluminum forms a structural part of the window rather than acting as a thin decorative covering. Together, these materials support a distinctive frame design with narrow sightlines around the glass.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
OpenUp® states that its window design provides 33% more view when closed. Its custom aluminum extrusions help reduce visible framing around the glass, preserving sightlines between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Add an OpenUp® Pleated Screen for insect protection when the window is open. The screen can be moved out of the way when you want full access through the serving opening and is available with white or black frame options.
OpenUp® provides 10 years of warranty coverage for the window, excluding glass, followed by 40 years of coverage for Accoya® wood against covered weather and pest damage. Review the official warranty terms for applicable conditions and exclusions.
Choose from available standard configurations or request custom dimensions for an opening that requires a different size. This flexibility helps you plan the window around your project’s measurements.
An open pass-through window creates a convenient serving area, but you may also want protection from insects.
OpenUp® offers a retractable Pleated Screen that can be used when needed and moved out of the way when you want full access through the window.
Screen features include:
Because the screen is designed for an active serving opening, it provides insect protection without permanently blocking access.
Choosing a pass-through window involves more than width and height. Measure both the interior and exterior of the opening, and consider countertop height, sill configuration, and mounting requirements. OpenUp® offers different sill options, including no-sill configurations, to suit different projects.
OpenUp® provides technical details to help you compare available window dimensions and sill configurations. Review the technical specifications and customer service information to explore the options available for your preferred window.
OpenUp® windows are built to order according to the selected dimensions and configuration.

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.

Most frequent questions and answers
Yes. OpenUp® offers standard window sizes and custom dimensions to suit different project requirements. Review the available configurations and confirm your measurements, sill options, and mounting requirements before ordering.
A gas-strut pass-through window is an upward-opening awning-style window that creates a serving opening between spaces such as a kitchen and patio. OpenUp®’s standard gas-strut system opens to 90 degrees, keeping the sash above the opening when fully open.
OpenUp® offers Low-E coatings, argon gas fills, laminated glass, and double- or triple-silver soft coatings. Its standard insulated glass unit is 1 inch thick, with two 3/16-inch tempered glass panes separated by a 5/8-inch air space. The appropriate configuration depends on your project’s glazing and solar-performance requirements.
Measure both the interior and exterior of the opening because countertop, floor, and patio heights can differ. OpenUp® provides specific rough-opening guidance for gas-strut and motorized windows, including allowances at the sides and above the countertop. Check its customer service measurement guidance and technical specifications before construction.
