4-pane window with one tilt and turn sash, made to measure

As with the 3-pane window with one tilt and turn sash, only one pane in the row opens here; the other three are fixed. It is the cheapest way to get ventilation across a width of 3,200 mm. In the configurator you choose which end the tilt and turn sash goes on.
The standard size is 3,200 × 1,500 mm, split equally across the four panes. If you need more air than one sash gives, the 4-pane window with two tilt and turn sashes — one at each end — is the option in the same width.
On a window this wide, where the opening sash goes matters as much as the decision to have one: put it on the side of the room with space for a sash swinging inwards, not by chance on the side with the best view, which is better left as unbroken fixed glass. At this width three fixed panes already give you a good share of the view of the garden, so the sash can go where it works best without costing you the view.
Compared with the 4-pane fixed window, you pay for exactly one set of hardware to be able to ventilate across the full 3,200 mm. That is the cheapest way to get air into a wide window; if you want it at both ends, the 4-pane window with two tilt and turn sashes adds that, at the cost of a second set of hardware.
At this width, measure the opening in several places — a 3,200 mm opening that is perfectly square along its full length is the exception rather than the rule. When planning the position, allow for the swing of the one opening sash; the three fixed panes beside it need no room to move and can sit close to a corner or an adjoining wall.
Maintenance is limited to the one opening sash; the three fixed panes need nothing. Colour and finish come from the same chart as any other pane, and across 3,200 mm most people choose one continuous colour so the opening sash doesn't stand out as a separate element between the three fixed panes.
In a renovation, people often choose this layout when a wide, older window is being replaced and ventilation is needed in only one place. In a new build, the position of the opening sash is usually matched to the layout of the room behind it, so it doesn't end up in the middle of a sofa or a kitchen run by accident.
For security, the one opening sash is the point to look at; the three fixed panes beside it have no hardware. For a ground-floor window, ask about a heavier locking cylinder on the opening sash.
You can use the heaviest glass on the three fixed panes without any consequence for the hardware; on the opening sash, weight counts against the hardware. The configurator checks this pane by pane as soon as you enter the size and the glass.

Is one opening sash enough for this width?
That depends on the room. If in doubt, the 4-pane window with two tilt and turn sashes, one at each end, is the step up for more air in the same size.
Which side does the tilt and turn sash go on?
You choose that in the configurator — usually the side of the room with space for the sash to swing open.
Can the opening sash go in the middle?
The standard layout puts it at one end; in the configurator you can set a different order if that suits your wall better. An opening pane in the middle keeps the two outer panes fixed and symmetrical.
Is this window heavy to fit?
At 3,200 mm wide in four panes, the glass is the heaviest part, not the hardware. Agree how it will be lifted with your installer before the window is delivered.
