Double-panel windows
Two fields in one frame, with a mullion down the middle doing considerably more work than it looks like it does. That post is a structural member: it turns one wide span into two the profile can comfortably handle and it takes wind pressure off the glass, which is why where it stands comes out of the calculation rather than out of a preference for symmetry. The pairing itself is where the flexibility lives — one fixed pane and one sash, two leaves that both open, or a wide fixed field with a narrow vent beside it — and in a bedroom or a majlis that choice quietly decides where the furniture can stand.

Profile Options
Consult with a specialist
Profile finish and coating options
Powder coating in any shade of the RAL palette; the colour is confirmed against a physical sample at the survey.
Anodising builds an oxide layer on the profile itself, so the colour belongs to the metal rather than to a film on top of it and cannot peel.
Wood-grain and stone-effect finishes are transferred onto the powder coating. The profile keeps the strength of aluminium and never needs repainting.
Available colours (200+ RAL shades)
- White
- Anthracite
- Brown
- Black
- Grey-anthracite
- Grey
Anodised finishes
- Natural silver
- Champagne
- Light bronze
- Medium bronze
- Dark bronze
- Black anodised
Wood-grain and special effects
- Golden oak
- Walnut
- Dark oak

- Basalt
- Wenge
How a two-field window is arranged
- Opening surveyed with the exposure noted Height and orientation both count
- Mullion position fixed on the drawing Structure first, symmetry second
- Which field opens is agreed in the room Handle reach and furniture decide it
- Glass split between the two fields The fixed one can take a heavier unit
- Post reinforced if the span asks for it Steel carried inside the aluminium
- Fitted, sealed and both leaves adjusted Equal compression on each side

The honest downside
The cost of splitting the opening
The mullion that makes the window strong also stands in the view. Facing the sea, a skyline or a garden, a post down the opening is exactly where the eye lands, and an offset post only moves it. Where the whole point of the window is one unbroken picture, a second frame line is a real cost.
A fixed field has a catch of its own above the ground floor: its outer face is hard to reach from the room, so after a dusty week it waits for whoever cleans the facade. And in a narrow opening, two fields leave more aluminium than glass.
If the opening is narrow enough for one leaf to span it, a single-panel window gives more glass and less frame. The two-field layout stays the right answer for wider openings, where the calculation needs the post and the room gains a light sash beside a larger fixed pane.

Frequently asked questions
No. An offset post is common and often better — it lets a narrow opening leaf sit beside a generous fixed pane, so the view stays wide and the sash stays light enough for simple hardware. What the calculation fixes is the maximum span either field may have for the wind at that height; within that, where the post lands is an architectural decision and we draw it before anything is cut.
Usually one is enough. A single sash airs a normal bedroom perfectly well, and every additional leaf brings hardware, swing space and one more thing to adjust over the years. Two live leaves earn their place where the room needs air moving right across it, or where both faces of the glass have to be reachable from inside on an upper floor.
Yes, and it is one of the quieter advantages of splitting an opening. A fixed field has no hinges to overload, so it can take a thicker or laminated build-up that would be too heavy for a sash of the same size — useful where the window faces a road, a podium or a plant deck and you want the acoustic build-up over as much of the opening as possible while the small opening leaf stays light.
In the sense that matters, yes. Splitting the opening halves the distance the profile and the glass have to span between supports, so both flex less under the same wind, and the mullion carries that load down into the structure instead of leaving it in the glass. That is very often the real reason a wide opening arrives back from the calculation drawn as two fields rather than one.
