For this Southern California home, Cabana Concepts, an authorized ActivWall Dealer, transformed a kitchen wall into a functional gathering space by installing an ActivWall Gas Strut Window.
In this project, the homeowners wanted a way to better connect their kitchen to a large covered porch that serves as both an outdoor dining and living area. By installing a pass-through window between the two spaces, the home now functions as a natural hub for entertaining.
With the window open, food, drinks, and conversation can flow from the kitchen to the porch.
Product details
For this project, the homeowners selected a 72 inch by 48 inch ActivWall Gas Strut Window from the company's Express Series.
Every ActivWall window is custom-made. However, the Express Series offers an advantage for projects on tighter timelines. By choosing one of seven express options, homeowners can receive custom windows faster because those glass sizes are kept in stock, allowing most units to ship in four to seven weeks.
This installation includes several details designed to enhance efficiency, aesthetics and functionality:
- Thermally broken aluminum frame and insulated glass for energy efficiency
- A white powder coat finish
- No-sill configuration for a smooth counter transition
- An optional pull hook for easy closing from the interior
- Optional retractable screen to allow fresh air in while keeping insects out
