The Latest Evolution in Pass-Through Windows
The trend for open living spaces is nothing new. Over the last decade, the desire to create large window openings that bring natural light and fresh air into our living environments has continued to grow. Large pass-through windows, also known as servery windows, not only bring in natural light and fresh air, they also create new spaces to interact with our families and friends or attract and service new customers.
As an increasingly popular part of modern design, the options to create large pass-through windows has evolved, with the newest innovation being gas strut windows. Gas strut windows, or strut windows, offer unique benefits and address the common challenges and dissatisfiers found in the large window products of the past.
All the Features Plus More
As specialists in vertically operable window systems, Gravity Windows recognized the unique benefits strut windows offer and is leading the introduction of this new product type. Gravity Strut Windows offer all the benefits of older solutions such as bifold or multi slide windows, while also providing unique features and benefits these products do not. Some of the primary benefits of Gravity Strut Windows include requiring only one piece of glass, panels that open up and out of the way, as well as the option for a continuous countertop without a bottom track.
More Light & Uninterrupted Views
Natural daylighting and opening your view to the exterior is key to creating healthy, comfortable and energizing interior spaces. Unlike bifold windows, Gravity Strut Windows are available with one lite panels, meaning the window includes one large piece of glass without additional metal or wood components in the middle of the window. This difference is tremendously impactful as removing divisions that obstruct your view and block daylight can dramatically brighten interior spaces, create a feeling of connection to the outside and even make interior spaces feel larger.
Seamless Transitions & More Connectivity
Pass-through windows open our view to the exterior and create spaces to entertain. When entertaining, we want spaces that are comfortable and free of obstacles that block interaction and limit accessibility. Unlike bifold windows and most other window products, Gravity Strut Windows open upward. This positions the panel completely out of way, providing a window opening with uninterrupted views and a space free from obstructions.
A popular feature accompanying pass-through windows is a countertop that extends to the exterior. This creates a space to enjoy meals and beverages or a place where you can sit and work for the afternoon. Having this area include a flat, continuous surface is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. With many pass-through windows being under overhangs or patio covers, there is no need for a weather resistant threshold. Unlike traditional bifold and multi slide windows that require a track in the countertop to guide the panels, Gravity Gas Strut windows have a No-Sill option. This is not only aesthetically more pleasing but also allows the countertop to extend continuously & seamlessly from the interior to exterior making it easy to clean and ideal for entertaining.
Conclusion
Pass-through windows are nothing new but they have continually evolved over the years in an attempt to create the ultimate experience when interacting in and around the kitchen. By combining the preferred and desired features of this product type, Gravity Strut Windows have created the most innovative way to open up your kitchen or business to outdoor entertaining areas. Combined with patio doors that allow access to outside areas, Gravity Strut Windows maximize the indoor/outdoor living environment and create a functional living space that can make your kitchen feel bigger and brighter.
