Gas-Strut & Motorized Systems for Better Living, Light & Entertaining
At OpenUp Windows, we don’t build generic windows but solve specific problems. Homeowners come to us because they have closed-off kitchens that feel isolated from their outdoor spaces.

Pass-through windows improve airflow, increase natural light, and enhance serving functionality. They open up kitchens, enhance outdoor connection, and add modern value while making everyday living and entertaining more convenient.
Pass-through windows allow fresh air to circulate easily between indoor and outdoor spaces, reducing heat buildup in kitchens and creating a more comfortable, well-ventilated environment for daily use.
Large openings bring in more sunlight, making kitchens feel brighter and more inviting. This reduces reliance on artificial lighting and enhances the overall look and feel of your interior space.
These windows create a direct serving area to patios or decks, making it easier to pass food and drinks while hosting guests, improving functionality during gatherings and outdoor activities.
A well-designed pass-through window adds a clean, contemporary look to your home. It enhances usability and can increase property appeal for potential buyers seeking functional indoor-outdoor features.

Kathy HappichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy with our gas strut window. Adam was wonderful to work with. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and we had alot. Our window was shipped to Florida in a crate that was very secure and came with step by step instructions on how to remove it. It was easy to install. This is a very well made product. Openup Windows definitely takes pride in there work and that is very hard to find these days. We are so happy we decided to purchase from this company. And the window arrived on my Anniversary which made it even more special. Thank you Adam!! John SierchioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We purchased a 96 x 42 inch window with a 96 x 12 inch transom push out window for the bar in our new 3 season room. The window looks amazing and is the center piece of the room. I spoke with Adam several times during the process and he made me feel very comfortable with this purchase. Adam even drove to our home and helped with the installation. I highly recommend OpenUp windows. Reba BarkleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Evan CarlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our OpenUp window. It has transformed how we use our indoor and ourdoor spaces and really allows us to enjoy our kitchen in a way we couldn't previously. It's early days, but we're delighted with the quality of the product and the price was definitely more reasonable than some of the competition out there. If you're looking for a window that will allow you to bridge the gap between your kitchen and patio/deck, I would definitely recommend you look into OpenUp.

Standard kitchen windows are 2-3 feet wide. Pass-through windows are typically 3-5 feet wide and 2-4 feet tall—creating 2-3× more open space for serving, light, and airflow. The larger opening dramatically changes how your kitchen functions and feels.
Yes. Gas-strut windows use spring-loaded pneumatic hinges that hold the window open at any angle—even partial openings. They won’t slam shut unexpectedly. The mechanism is the same technology used in car hoods and office chair hydraulics, tested for 100,000+ cycles. Completely safe and reliable.
Absolutely. Indiana’s challenges—high humidity (June-August), freeze-thaw cycles (-10°F to 95°F), and seasonal wind—are exactly why we chose Accoya® wood. Standard wood would warp in Indiana’s seasonal moisture. Accoya® resists swelling, rot, and warping across the full temperature range. Our windows are engineered specifically for Indiana weather.
Yes, each window is designed to fit your space, layout, and style preferences for a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
No. Most homeowners see energy savings: cross-ventilation reduces AC use in summer (10-15% savings), natural light reduces daytime lighting needs, and Accoya® frames provide better insulation than older aluminum windows. The upfront investment typically pays for itself in 5-8 years through lower energy bills.
