Thread: Take Two, small opening round window.

nice metal hardware

AB, nice job on the window. I don't care much for the exposed hardware. It's a distraction, but if that's the only stuff available, then that's the way it is.

I believe I saw a window/flap type thing once that had a pivot in the center, top and bottom or 3 and 9 o'clock position that you could push and the window/flap would open and stay open. The hardware had a detente that would keep it in the open position. When you wanted it closed, you just push it shut, where it also had a detente to keep it closed. No hardware would be exposed. If what I described is in fact a real product, instead of a figment of my imagination, see if you can find something like it and use it on your next project. Maybe something like this. Just need to find out what is holding the window in place.


Here is a simpler version. Not what I had in mind, but it works for him.

Thanks for that Jerry. I am aware of those type of windows and am keen to have a crack at a few, just have not got the design details in my mind completely clear yet. A proper drawing of how they work is what I am trying to find first. There are a couple of makers in the UK who seem to specialise in making them. They claim that those type are ideal for having on elevated walls as you can clean them from the inside.
Here is another opening casement style one, not overly keen on this design though.
