Question about window sizes

I'm looking to cut out a kitchen pass through into the outdoor patio...am I free to cut it any size I want? Or are there "standard" sizes that most window manufacturers work towards (like how 90% of doors fit a few standard dimensions)? Or are windows mainly a custom built-to-order sort of product?

 

Cause I want a bi-fold window with a very specific size in mind.

 

You will buy what they make & they make alot of them

This is just an example but gives you brick opening size and dimensions.

Trend Windows

 

Thank you, that answers my question. Did you post Stegbar as just one random example or would you actually recommend them?

 

1) They have been around forever
2) I haven't heard that they won't be around for a long time
3) Yes, I have used previously but they are pricey. Plenty of other brands available too - Dowel, Trend, Bradhams etc but it will come down to the type of aluminium profile/section that they use so a visit to their showrooms can be worthwhile.

 

Thank you. I guess I should have expected the market was predominantly a pre-made one. It must cost a small fortune to have custom ones built.

Anyway I'll likely shop around but I could see myself going with Stegbar. Being a "bar" / entertaining window it's going to get a ton of use, so I'd rather go with quality.

 

Could also consider a gas strut one for added functionality:

 

I was considering that but my partner is pretty short so I was picturing her struggling trying to pull it back down

Also what other "added functionality"? I assume it doubles as cover from rain, what else?

 

Mostly being able to use the full width of the window; having a nice clean single pane instead of multiple ones; once its open it won't get splatters of food, hmm thats all I can think of!

 

Brilliant yeah you're right. I'll definitely have to go check out my options!

Also check out Aneeta windows - it's a frameless sash style that you pull up

Sweet jesus that's a nice window. Must cost a fortune...

 

Hmmm I have one at my house but I don't know it's individual price but I don't think it was a fortune.

Stegbar do offer them too Residential Aneeta Sashless Windows
