A solid wall between your kitchen and backyard can make entertaining less convenient. A pass-through window creates a direct connection between the two spaces, making it easier to serve food, pass drinks, and stay connected with guests.
When the window is open, you have a practical serving area between indoors and outdoors. When it’s closed, the slim frame and large glass area keep the view open.
OpenUp® pass-through windows can be used in Sunnyvale homes, restaurants, bars, pool houses, and other spaces where you want a convenient connection between two areas.
A pass-through window can give the space between your kitchen and patio a practical purpose.
Open the window when you’re serving food or drinks. Close it when you want to enjoy the view while keeping the interior separated from the outdoor area.
OpenUp® pass-through windows can connect:
OpenUp®’s original design provides 33% more view when the window is closed, helping maintain a more open sightline between the two spaces.
OpenUp® combines gas strut operation with an awning-style pass-through design. The result is a practical opening for serving, entertaining, and connecting indoor and outdoor areas.
The design works for residential and commercial applications, including kitchens, bars, pool houses, and serving areas.
Each window combines extruded aluminum, Accoya® wood, insulated glass, and a minimalist frame to create a durable window designed around your opening.
OpenUp Windows combines a wide pass-through opening with durable materials, custom sizing, and several operating options.
OpenUp® pass-through windows make it easier to connect indoor and outdoor areas. Use the opening to serve food and drinks, host guests, or create a more direct connection to your patio or outdoor space.
The OpenUp® design uses narrow sightlines and custom aluminum extrusions to maximize the visible glass area.
OpenUp® states that its original design provides 33% more view when the window is closed, helping you maintain a clearer connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
OpenUp® uses extruded aluminum as a structural part of the window rather than simply wrapping a thin aluminum layer around a wood frame.
The exterior aluminum is paired with Accoya® wood on the interior, creating a hybrid window design suited to both indoor and outdoor applications.
Accoya® wood forms the interior portion of the hybrid window design. It is known for dimensional stability, durability, and paint retention.
The wood is PEFC and FSC certified and comes from responsibly managed forests.
A fixed screen can interfere with the purpose of an active pass-through opening. OpenUp® offers a retractable Pleated Screen that stays out of the way when you want the full opening.
Pull the screen into place when you want to keep insects out, then move it aside when you want the opening available again.
The Pleated Screen is factory mounted and available with a white or black frame.
The standard OpenUp® insulated glass option uses a 1-inch insulated glass unit made with two pieces of 3/16-inch tempered glass separated by a black spacer. The spacer creates a 5/8-inch air pocket between the glass panes.
Additional glass options are available for different project requirements, including:
For sunny locations, OpenUp® recommends triple-silver soft coatings when stronger solar protection is desired.

Most frequent questions and answers
Yes. OpenUp® offers a retractable Pleated Screen for its pass-through windows. It can be pulled into place when you want to help keep insects out and moved aside when you want the full opening available for serving or entertaining.
Sun exposure can be an important consideration when choosing glass for a pass-through window. OpenUp® offers options such as Low-E coatings and silver soft coatings that can help address solar exposure while maintaining natural light. The right choice depends on your home’s orientation, window location, and project requirements.
A pass-through window can be installed in a new or existing opening. When an existing wall needs to be modified, a qualified contractor can create and properly frame the opening to match the custom window dimensions and the requirements of the installation.
