Gas Strut Windows
Open Up Your Space with an ActivWall Gas Strut Window
Transform your home or business with a sleek and functional ActivWall Gas Strut Window. With its seamless integration between your indoor and outdoor spaces, this innovative serving window is designed to make entertaining easier and more enjoyable than ever before.
Insulated glass and thermally broken aluminum components allow for high energy efficiency, and every product is backed by a 10-year residential warranty or a 2-year commercial warranty.
How Does this Pass Through Window Work?
ActivWall Gas Strut Windows feature concealed commercial-grade gas struts for a sleek look. Unlock the latches and push from the inside. The sturdy struts will take over and gently extend to create up to a 90-degree opening.
Many customers use this as a bar window by installing a countertop extending through the window for indoor-outdoor serving. When you are done grilling or dining outdoors, you can pull down the window from the outside to close it or use our optional ActivWall Pull Hook to close the pass-through window from the inside.
Retractable Screens, manufactured by various third-party companies, are also available to add to your Gas Strut Window. In our Virginia Showroom, we proudly display manual and motorized screen options by Genius Screens.
If you only want to open the window a few inches for ventilation, ask about our optional Kickstand Attachment, available for windows over 42″ high.
Locking handles with keyed custodial locks are also available for commercial locations where additional security is required.
Ask your sales representative for additional information about these and other customization features.
Impact Tested for Peace of Mind
Our Gas Strut Windows passed ASTM E1886 & E1996, a standard test method and specification for windborne debris impacts in hurricane zones. The windows outperformed Wind Zone 3 and DP 60 minimum requirements, which home inspectors and insurance providers require in many coastal regions.
We also offer impact glass for Gas Strut Windows in these areas.

FAQ
Every product we make is fully customized to meet our customers’ needs. Because of this, product costs are dependent on many variables, such as product finish, glass type, unit size, and shipping. Prices typically start at $4,000 (before shipping and installation). Contact us to request a quote for your unique space.
Our lead times vary throughout the year. Contact us for our current lead times, and if you need a window delivered in a short turn-around, you can order select sizes through our Express Series.
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.
If you purchase your window through an authorized ActivWall Dealer, most dealers will offer installation services for an additional fee. For those who order factory-direct, you will want to find a reputable contractor or handyman with some experience installing windows to install your ActivWall Gas Strut Window. Three to four people are recommended for the process, and installation instructions are provided with every window as well as phone support from ActivWall.
