Two exterior expressions

Every product. All wood or wood-aluminum clad.

Both begin with the same engineered timber structure and the same warm, genuine-wood interior. The choice is about exterior expression, exposure, maintenance and budget.

Compare materials + finishes
01

All wood

Real wood is visible inside and outside. It offers the fullest natural-material expression and typically the lower initial cost.

  • Best for protected or thoughtfully detailed elevations
  • Maximum species, stain and paint flexibility
  • Exterior finish needs periodic inspection and care
02

Wood-aluminum clad

A ventilated, powder-coated aluminum skin protects the exterior while the full warmth of timber remains visible inside.

  • Ideal for high exposure and lower-maintenance goals
  • Broad exterior colour selection
  • Higher initial investment for added weather protection
01

Tilt and Turn

Four engineered profile configurations · 106 mm options are Passive House Certified

One handle locks the sash on all sides, tilts it inward at the top for controlled ventilation, or turns it fully inward for access and easy cleaning. Choose the frame depth, glazing and exterior protection around the climate and performance target.

  • One continuous frame across applicable fixed and operable sections
  • Up to 330 lb / 150 kg sash capacity in applicable configurations
  • Tilt-and-turn or tilt-only operation
  • Visible or concealed hinges
  • Tilt-before-turn, micro-ventilation and magnetic-assist options
  • Factory insect screens available
02

Picture Windows

A curved room lined with tall natural-wood Fenstür picture windows

Four engineered profile configurations · 106 mm options are Passive House Certified

Picture windows are fixed, direct-glazed windows designed around the view. With no operable sash or hardware, they use less visible frame, admit more daylight and can create exceptionally clean, uninterrupted glass compositions.

  • Direct-glazed for more glass and slimmer sightlines
  • Custom rectangles, combinations and architectural shapes
  • Engineered large sizes available after project review
03

Casement + Awning

78 mm all-wood and wood–aluminum systems

Fenstür casement and awning windows share the same flush, outward-opening 78 mm platform. Casements are side-hinged; awnings are top-hinged. Two continuous perimeter seals and multipoint locking controlled from one handle support clean lines, weather resistance and easy operation.

  • No broad exterior ledge for water to sit on
  • Stainless-steel or corrosion-resistant hardware and fasteners
  • Developed through more than 1,000 hours of international design and engineering
  • Casement and awning operation selected to suit the opening
04

Custom Shapes + Combinations

Real custom shapes made in Duncan

Round, arched, radius, octagonal, gable, slanted and other architectural shapes are available across Fenstür product lines—not only as fixed picture windows. Shaped operable tilt-and-turn windows and entry doors can be designed around the architecture, with fixed and operable sections coordinated in one composition.

  • Available across Fenstür window and door product lines
  • Arched, radius and slanted operable tilt-and-turn windows
  • Shaped entry doors as well as fixed picture windows
  • Fixed and operable sections can share one coordinated composition
  • Profile-changing technology can reduce unnecessary mull material
  • Final geometry remains subject to glass and engineering limits
05

Expression Series

Expression Series all-wood windows combined into a coordinated factory-mulled composition

78 mm all-wood profiles

A standardized, shorter-lead-time version of Fenstür’s 78 mm all-wood picture and tilt-and-turn system, including tilt-only configurations.

  • Picture windows in twelve standard sizes
  • Tilt-and-turn windows in five standard sizes
  • Tilt-only windows in three standard sizes
  • Up to four standard units can be factory-mulled to build project-specific custom designs
  • Double-pane glass standard, with a triple-pane upgrade available
  • Available in all standard Fenstür factory-finish colours

Expression sizes + combinations

Three window types. A clear path to the right size.

Start with a standard all-wood unit, select the operation and size, then configure glazing, finish and hardware online. Standardized choices keep the process efficient without giving up the warmth of real wood.

Sizes and ratings depend on product type, operation, glass, exposure and current tested limits. Fenstür confirms the applicable values with the quotation.

01

Tilt + turn

Two useful opening positions. One intuitive handle.

Turn the handle upward and the sash tilts inward at the top for controlled ventilation. Turn it horizontally and the sash swings fully inward. This makes cleaning, airing out a room and emergency access straightforward.

  • Heavy-duty hinge options for large, high-performance sashes
  • Concealed hinge and tilt-before-turn options
  • Micro-ventilation and magnetic-assist options
  • Factory insect screens available
02

System-wide features

Modern operation, sealing and installation details.

Fenstür’s window platform is the result of more than 1,000 design and engineering hours, drawing on expertise from North America, Germany, Italy, Austria, England and the Czech Republic. Across the applicable 78 mm and 106 mm systems, it combines continuous gaskets, multipoint locking, anti-sag support, corrosion-resistant hardware and installation-friendly frame detailing.

  • Windows lock on multiple sides from one central handle
  • Two continuous gaskets support air- and water-tightness
  • Anti-sag arms maintain large or heavy sashes
  • Flangeless frames and interior sill rebates simplify trim coordination
  • Rebated exterior bottoms accept coordinated window sills
  • Extruded aluminum sills and installation supplies available
03

Opening types

Specify the operation that fits the room.

Choose the tilt-and-turn family, the outward-opening casement and awning family, or a non-operable picture window. Tilt-and-turn hardware can be configured for full tilt-and-turn or tilt-only operation. Picture windows may also be described in drawings as fixed, direct-glazed or direct-set units.

  • Every opening type is available in all-wood or wood–aluminum-clad construction
  • Factory pre-finished in the selected standard paint or stain, with custom colour matching available
  • Double-pane or triple-pane low-e glass, plus specialized glazing packages
  • Custom combinations and architectural shapes reviewed by application
04

Profile-changing technology

Less frame where you do not need it.

Fenstür can change the profile along a continuous piece of timber when a window transitions between an operable sash and fixed glass. The approach reduces unnecessary mull material while improving glass area and visual consistency.

05

Glass + comfort

Build the glazing package around the climate.

Double-pane, triple-pane and specialized glazing packages allow the project team to balance insulation, solar gain, daylight, sound control, safety and total glass weight.

  • Double-pane, triple-pane, quadruple-pane and LiteZone® options
  • Multiple low-emissivity coating combinations
  • Warm-edge spacer options
  • Tempered, laminated and privacy glass
  • Passive House-oriented performance packages

Frequently asked

Useful answers before you begin.

Is a picture window the same as a fixed window?

Yes. Picture window is the common industry name for a window that does not open. Fenstür also uses direct-glazed construction in selected fixed configurations.

Do tilt-and-turn windows open inward?

Yes. Both the tilt and full turn positions open toward the interior. Furniture, blinds and interior clearances should be considered during design.

Can the exterior be aluminum clad?

Yes. Wood-aluminum configurations combine a real-wood interior with a powder-coated aluminum exterior cladding system.

Can I price windows without waiting for a quotation?

Expression Series windows use standardized sizes and options for a shorter lead-time path and will be configurable in the Fenstür Webshop when the full builder launches. Fully custom assemblies should be reviewed by our project team.
