Stable Windows: Daylight and Fresh Air for Every Barn Build
Daylight and fresh air without a draught. Here you will find hot dip galvanised stable windows that turn and tilt in several versions.
Stable Windows: Ventilating Without a Draught
A stable window has two jobs that are hard to combine: it should let daylight in and change the air without leaving the animals in a draught. That is precisely what turn and tilt windows are built for. In the tilt position, warm, damp air escapes upwards while the fresh air does not fall straight onto the lying areas. Every version is hot dip galvanised and therefore permanently protected against moisture and ammonia, which is what still swings freely after twenty years, unlike painted steel that starts to bind once the coating goes.
Shapes and Sizes
The standard size is one metre by one metre, either with a straight head or as a round arch that suits older barn buildings with brick arches. They come as pure turn windows or as turn and tilt, each in DIN left and DIN right, and also as a double turn window for wider openings. An internal grille frame protects the glazing wherever animals stand right at the window and prevents the most common cause of broken panes in the barn.
Fitting and Finish
Hot dip galvanising is the standard and is perfectly sufficient in most barns. If you want to match the colour of the facade, choose the surcharge for powder coating in a RAL shade. When fitting, it pays to settle the opening direction on site beforehand: a window that hits a beam or blocks the feed passage is a fresh annoyance every single day it is in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much window area does a barn need?
A guide value is one twentieth to one fifteenth of the barn floor area. With very deep buildings you should plan towards the upper end of that.
DIN left or DIN right?
Stand outside in front of the opening. If the hinge sits on the left, it is DIN left. Also check where the sash swings to once it is open.
What is the internal grille frame for?
It protects the pane from horns, shovels and flying bedding. Wherever animals stand directly at the window, it is worth having.
Daylight and Air Exchange in the Barn
A stable window should let light in and at the same time carry off the warm, damp air without leaving the animals in a draught. Turn and tilt windows solve that, because the tilt position opens only the upper gap and the fresh air does not fall straight onto the lying areas. You will find hot dip galvanised windows here in the standard size of one metre by one metre, either with a straight head or as a round arch for older barn buildings, as pure turn windows or turn and tilt, in DIN left and DIN right as well as double turn windows for wider openings. An internal grille frame protects the glazing where animals stand right at the window. To match the facade, add the surcharge for powder coating in the RAL shade you want. Order by the clear opening size, not by the outer edge of the brickwork.
