Ready to Customize Your Gas Strut Window?
If you’re ready to bring your vision to life, our streamlined process makes it easy to design a custom pass-through window that’s perfect for your project. Whether for a home, office, or commercial space, every ActivWall Gas Strut Window is built to order, handcrafted to your specifications, and delivered with care. Follow these eight prompts to plan your perfect Gas Strut Window today.
1. Select your System
ActivWall Gas Strut Windows, are available in four frame systems, depending on whether the unit will be used in an interior or exterior setting.
Exterior Use
- Thermally Broken Aluminum (standard): Frame components provide strength, durability, and flexibility for unique design possibilities. Each unit gets commercial-grade aluminum, even in residential settings. This standard system features thermal breaks for maximum energy efficiency.
- Wood-Clad Aluminum: This system combines the warmth and beauty of wood on the interior with the strength and low maintenance of thermally broken aluminum on the exterior. Combining various wood species on the inside with aluminum finishes on the outside makes design possibilities virtually limitless. The modified aluminum profile accepts a snap-in wood component that can be painted or stained according to the customer’s preference.
Interior Use
- Aluminum: This aluminum system offers the same high-quality frame material as our standard system without thermal breaks. This option is best suited for interior room dividers or other environments that don’t require climate control or insulation.
- Wood (interior applications only): The ActivWall wood system uses real hardwood and softwood profiles, not veneered wood. It features precisely engineered stiles and rails for stability, along with an aluminum spline system and adjustable hinges for added strength. Carefully selected solid wood materials on the outside are combined with an engineered core to form a highly stable system that resists wood’s natural tendency to expand, contract, and warp.
2. Select your Size
Each ActivWall Gas Strut Window is custom-designed for your unique space. For windows up to 8′ wide, the maximum height can be 5′, and for windows up to 10′ wide, the maximum height can be 4′. Larger sizes are possible with the addition of mullions, and multiple-unit configurations are also available. For safety, consider how your Gas Strut Window will be installed and used when planning the height to ensure proper head clearance.
Select sizes are available for expedited assembly and delivery as part of our Express Series.
How to Measure:
The width of the “rough opening” is the measurement used – from stud to stud. For the height, the measurement begins at the header and runs to the bottom of the sill channel (or the countertop if no sill is chosen). If there is currently another window in place, the inside measurements of the current window frame (not the glass) will typically work, although be sure to speak to your ActivWall sales rep about this – images of the opening may be needed to determine the correct measurements.
3. Select your Structural Design & Configuration
ActivWall Gas Strut Windows can be made as a single panel or with horizontal or vertical mullions for added style. They are designed as out-swing units by default, but can be made as in-swing units for applications such as press boxes. Some examples are shown below. Note: Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) options are covered under Glazing.

4. Select your Sill
We offer four structural sill options for the ActivWall Gas Strut Window. Additional information regarding the benefits of each sill option is available here.
5. Select your Glazing Options
The aesthetic of your space is important. Our relationship with several trusted vendors enables us to offer a wide variety of glazing options, and the possibilities are nearly limitless.
Our Insulated Dual-Pane Low-E Argon-Filled Glass comes standard, offering superior thermal efficiency and comfort, crafted to meet the highest standards of modern living. For interior installations where energy efficiency is not a priority, we also offer single-pane glass, providing elegant simplicity for spaces such as sunrooms, offices, and partitions.
For those who desire an elevated level of personalization or performance, we offer premium glass enhancements, including:
- Tinted Glass
- Frosted Glass – Designed for privacy. It can also be used as a writable dry-erase surface.
- Textured Glass
- Printed Glass – Whether it’s a monogram, logo, house number, or a custom design, this option makes a statement uniquely yours.
- Bird-Resistant Glass – This option combines safety with sustainability, reducing bird collisions while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
- Impact-Resistant Glass – Engineered for strength and peace of mind in coastal or hurricane-prone regions.
- Simulated Divided Lites (SDL) – narrow metal grids on the outside of the glass mimic the look of traditional divided light windows.
- Grille Between Glass (GBG) – narrow metal grids sandwiched between two layers of glass.
No matter your style or setting, our glass options are more than a material choice; they’re reflections of taste, innovation, and intention.
6. Select your Handle Placement and Add-Ons
The ActivWall Gas Strut Window comes with a standard handle centered at the bottom of the window. You can opt for dual handles if the window will be behind a sink faucet and needs additional clearance. Handles can be finished in the same color as your frame or in a contrasting color for added interest.
You can also customize your Gas Strut Window with the following add-ons.
- Additional Fixed Panels
- Pull Hook for Closing – Available in 36″ and 60″ Lengths – Watch Demo
- Kick Stand for Partial Opening Capability – Watch Demo
- Nailing Flange for New Construction Installs
- Retractable Screens
- Keyed Custodial Locks
7. Select your Finish
Standard finishes of white, black, and dark bronze are available at no additional charge. Depending on your frame style chosen, ActivWall products can be customized with various other powder coat, anodized, simulated wood-grain, and wood-clad finishes. See options for more details.
