The right approach to opening arched PVC Windows

Hinges are usually mounted on the outer shorter side. When determining the opening method, the risk of contact with the upper edge of the wall surrounding the arched window should be taken into account.

This problem can be solved by using a design with a blind top, mounting the arched PVC window deeper or reducing its height with the help of a curved lining fixed to the frame. The latest method is the most popular way in the last time have European producers. However, it should be noted that this type of treatment can worsen the thermal characteristics of the arched PVC window and will reduce the amount of light in the interior.
