Description
Aluminium Window – Design 16
At 1400mm to 2700mm wide and 800mm to 1400mm high, this window sits in a proportion that’s wider than it is tall by some margin — a horizontal format that suits openings above kitchen worktops, over sinks, or anywhere a low, wide band of glazing works better than a taller, narrower one.
The Shape of This Particular Opening
The width-to-height ratio here is deliberately generous — roughly double the width to the height at maximum size — which means this window reads as a horizontal band of glass rather than a conventional portrait-oriented opening. It’s the kind of proportion you specify when the wall itself is long and low, not when you’re trying to squeeze glazing into a tall, narrow gap.
Why Aluminium Holds Up Here
A 72mm multi-chamber aluminium frame runs the full width of this opening, and at this scale the material’s rigidity matters — a wide, relatively low window like this needs a frame that won’t sag or flex across the span, which is exactly where aluminium outperforms softer alternatives.
Locking It Down
The espagnolette-style multipoint lock engages at several points along the opening sash, which on a wider, lower window like this is particularly effective — the locking points are spread across the width rather than concentrated at one end.
What It Does for the Room
A window this shape tends to throw light across a room horizontally rather than down from above, which suits kitchens and utility spaces where the opening usually sits above a run of units rather than at eye level.
Fitted to This Opening, Not a Standard One
Manufactured specifically to a 1400mm–2700mm width and 800mm–1400mm height — this exact horizontal proportion doesn’t come from a standard size chart, it’s built for the specific opening it’s replacing.
