Explore designsChoose how your windows and doors open
We start with your opening, the space around it and how you want air and light to move through the room.
| Opening type | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Fixed glazing | Bring daylight into an opening where you do not need ventilation. |
| Casement and tilt-and-turn | Open the sash on hinges. Allow space for the swing and discuss which way it should open. |
| Sliding windows and doors | Move panels along a track where there is limited space for a swing. |
| Custom combinations | Place a fixed pane beside an opening sash or add a fanlight to suit the opening. |
Ask us to confirm the available profile, glazing, finish and hardware for your project.

Sliding window
A sash moves across a track and needs no swing clearance.
Fixed window
A sealed, non-opening pane brings in light. Plan ventilation elsewhere.
Tilt-and-turn window
The sash tilts inward for ventilation or swings inward for wider access.
Awning window
A top hinge lets the lower edge project outward.
Bay window
Angled sections create a projecting window. Confirm structural support.
Vertical sash window
One or more sashes move vertically. Confirm balance hardware and availability.
Arched fixed window
A shaped top follows an arched opening. Confirm profile bending limits.
Hinged door
A hinged glazed leaf gives a full-width passage when open.
Sliding door
Sliding leaves suit terraces where swing clearance is limited.
Folding door
Multiple leaves fold to one or both sides. Allow for the folded stack.
Custom combination window
Combine fixed glazing with opening lights, fanlights or side panels.
