Opening Types

Top Guided
Top Guided windows are a simple, elegant and user-friendly design. Opening is controlled by tracks and slides. When opening the window the top of the sash slides downwards as the bottom of the sash opens outwards. Adjustable friction ironmongery allows an almost infinite choice of open positions.

Top Swing
In everyday operation the fully reversible window functions as a Top Guided window. However it is possible to turn the sash through 170 degrees to clean the glass from the inside.

Fixed Light
Fixed Light windows are ideal wherever maximum internal light and solar heat gain is required. Fixed Lights can be fitted with trickle vents for ventilation.

Side Guided
Side Guided windows are controlled by tracks and slides that allow the window to be fixed in any open position. However, when opened, the hinge side of the sash moves toward the middle to create an opening that allows the glass to be cleaned from the inside.

Side Hung
Side Hung windows are controlled with tracks and slides. On windows over 424 mm wide and 530mm high, the handle controlled friction brake allows the window to be fixed in any open position.

Tilt & Turn
Tilt and Turn windows function in two ways. The tilt function opens the top of the sash inwards for ventilation, whilst the turn function creates an inward opening side hung operation. Tilt & turn windows can be cleaned from the inside and can also be used as emergency exits. This opening style is also available solely as a bottom hung window (with handle at the top of the sash) or as an inward opening side hung window.

Glazing Options
Rationel windows combine safety, privacy and energy-efficiency features that help you make the very best of your home.

Rationel SECURE - Our windows are built with security in mind. Read more about our Secured by Design certification or watch the video on our website

Rationel OBSCURE - Our panes are designed to restrict the view into private areas such as bathrooms. Choose from six different types of glass to get the combination of light and privacy you desire

Rationel SAFETY - Our glass holds together when shattered, reducing the risk of injury if someone falls into the pane. Panes can be made of toughened glass, laminated glass or a combination of both

Rationel FACADE - Used in buildings either to create a visually coherent facade or for special colour effects, FACADE is well suited to storey divisions as well as ventilated and insulated panels, and is available in special colours on request

Rationel SOUND - Our windows are built with security in mind. If your home is subject to environmental noise, our noise reducing panes are for you. Panes feature two glass sheets that act as a break, dramatically reducing the movement of sound into your home and creating a peaceful environment

Rationel SOLAR - Our solar panes limit the amount of sunlight and heat coming into a building, depending on the light and heat shielding levels required. This means significantly less energy will be required to cool hot rooms
