Gas Strut Window - where can I order?

CandidSoul

Just about to start our kitchen/diner/sittingroom remodel & I am hoping to install a "gas strut" kitchen window (& double patio doors with an arch shaped top.)

Gas strut windows (flip out & open to 90 degrees) seem to be popular in Australia but I am having trouble sourcing one here or anywhere in Europe. Does anyone have any advice or know where I could order one or get one made please?

Window size in drawings is 1810 mm W x 1250mm H. Patio doors in architectural drawings = 2315mm W x 2250mm H (I'm assuming the arch shape will be additional to the H dimension).

Thank you!

The main brand in australia is Renlita. I'm not sure if they have a european distributor.

For a very simply gas strut window, it's simply a top hung casement window with a gas strutt added. And good window manufacturer should be able to help with that. The vertical folding cantilevered versions are slightly more complex engineering.

I would assume the 2250 height incluses the arch. As if not, and it was a semi circular arch it would be 3400mm high. Do you have drawings

Thank you Mellor, Only seeing this today & not sure why I didn't get a notification that you had replied.

Funnily enough, after all my research I found a local Galway/Furbo window company that will make the gas strut window for me :-)

I think you are correct in that the 2250 height would have to include the arch so that's probably a non runner. It looks like the door opening is 2300mm & the interior ceiling height is 2600mm.
