Continuous ventilation.
Our continuous ventilation systems vouch for a comfortable indoor environment by means of constant airing with the windows closed. This keeps mould firmly at bay – with hardly any heat loss.
The perfect kitchen window: chic, bright, practical.
Easy-care.
“Please do not specify windows for your home as a whole, but design them for each individual space.”

A quick wipe suffices.
Cooking generates moisture, dirt and grease. Which is why kitchen surfaces should be hardwearing and easy to clean. Robust materials such as uPVC or aluminium are the perfect choice for windows. Or our extra-easy-care Cristal model with the window frame covered by glass.
Customisable.
The various opening actions allow your new kitchen window to be fine-tuned to the requirements of your kitchen units.

Every day, each of us helps release a watering can’s worth of moisture.
Above all through cooking, but also through washing, bathing and showering, through respiration or through our house plants. Regular ventilation regulates humidity, prevents mould growth and creates a comfortable indoor environment.
Good-practice ventilation.
Whether for so-called shock (intermittent) or continuous trickle ventilation, kitchen windows need opening several times a day. This can be conveniently accommodated, for example, by our continuous ventilation options, summer/winter tilt hardware and sash limiter.
Two-step tilt opening.
The summer/winter tilt hardware enables you to manually adjust the tilt opening width to up to 17 cm for the summer months and 4 cm in winter. Season-dependent ventilation reduces the amount of heating energy wasted in the colder months.
Sash limiter.
By fixing the turn opening of the window sash at 90°, the sash limiter is ideal for shock ventilation. It prevents the window from slamming shut or hitting the reveal, even in strong draughts.

FAQ
What is the best way of ventilating a kitchen so as to extract moisture and odours?
The exhaust hood helps during cooking. Afterwards, a short burst of shock ventilation is needed! Fully open the kitchen window for 5 to 10 minutes. Refrain from leaving the window in the tilted position for hours on end as this will cool down the walls and increase the risk of mould. For further details, please visit: Ventilation - Finstral Planner.
What is the best type of window to install behind a tap?
A sliding window is a suitable option behind a sink. It is easy to slide open without obstruction by the tap. A kitchen window with a sublight can serve as an alternative: here, the tap is located in front of the fixed light, thus allowing unobstructed opening of the window sash.
What types of visual barrier are suitable for kitchen windows?
In the kitchen, standard roller blinds and Venetian blinds are exposed to dirt and grease and thus demand a high degree of care. Exterior or interstitial sunshades are a more suitable option. Here, the roller or Venetian blind is automatically protected from soiling. With Finstral’s coupled windows, the Venetian or pleated blind is located in the sheltered gap between the panes. These privacy and solar protection solutions require accordingly little maintenance. For further details, please visit: Shading in sash - Finstral Planner.
