A pass-through window can make the connection between your kitchen and outdoor area much more useful.
Instead of carrying food and drinks through another doorway, you can serve directly through the opening. The raised sash keeps the area below clear, making the window practical for kitchen counters, patios, outdoor dining areas, pool houses, and bars.
When the window is closed, our narrow framing helps maintain a large visible glass area and an open view outside.
Our gas-strut pass-through window uses an awning-style sash that opens upward.
The standard gas-strut system opens fully to 90 degrees, creating a wide opening between the connected spaces.
This type of window can work well for:
Our standard insulated glass package uses a 1-inch insulated glass unit with two pieces of tempered glass and an insulating air space between them.
Additional glass options include:
For sunny climates and southern states, we recommend triple-silver coatings when greater solar protection and efficiency are needed.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
Our custom aluminum extrusions and narrow sightlines reduce the amount of visible framing around the glass. Our design provides 33% more view when the window is closed, helping maintain a larger visible glass area.
Accoya® wood is used on the interior side of our hybrid frame. It has been tested for dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention and is PEFC and FSC certified.
We use extruded aluminum as a structural part of our hybrid window frame. The aluminum is not simply a thin exterior covering over a wood frame. It forms part of the window structure itself.
For the first 10 years, we protect every part of the window apart from the glass. For the following 40 years, Accoya® protects the wood against weather and pest damage.
Your pass-through window can be configured around the requirements of your project.
Depending on the selected setup, available options can include sill configurations, no-sill options, and nailing-flange mounting.
Our technical information also provides dimensions and mounting details that can help during project planning.
Our retractable OpenUp® Pleated Screen provides insect protection without permanently blocking the pass-through opening.
Use the screen when you need it, then move it out of the way when you want full access to the window.
The Pleated Screen works with any size OpenUp® window. When ordered with the window, it can be factory-mounted before shipping. White and black frame options are available.
Every OpenUp® pass-through window is custom-built to order.
Once the final size and configuration are confirmed, custom windows typically ship within 4–6 weeks, regardless of size.
Each window is factory glazed and pre-hung before shipping, and installation instructions are included.
A pass-through window can turn an ordinary kitchen opening into a space you actually use for serving, entertaining, and connecting with the area outside.
