Oculus
Oculus are not manufactured in all diameters and depending on the material can vary in their size. With these windows neither tilt fittings nor turn fittings can be used as an opening. The following types are suitable for opening, for example side-hung windows, tilt windows, pivoting windows or a fixed glazing.

Outside Sealing
In the window assembly a rain barrier will usually suffice. Here several constructural designs are possible. Facade sides that are impacted by rain or wind will still need a proper seal, which depends on the exterior wall system.

Outside temperature
With solar radiation the profile can heat up to 70 - 80°C on the outer face. This is 50-60°C more than in the profile. At outside temperatures around -20°C, the difference is often exceeding 40°C. Therefore, modern window profiles offer the highest performance in summer or winter.

Outward opening windows
In the north, many windows open outwards. The advantage of these windows is that when strong winds are pressed against the window frames and that the interior window sill does not have to be cleared for opening. Balcony doors partly are also designed to open outwards when there is not enough room left for the door wing on the inside.
