Corner window

A corner window spans both sides of a room and consists of two glass panels or two window sashes that meet at an angle. Depending on how the corner is constructed, there are different options for this meeting point – usually a 90° right angle is created but other options, such as 135° are also available.

A corner window is a modern architectural feature that comes with several benefits, such as that it:

• Brightens spaces, bringing in much natural light
• Makes for open panoramic views
• Creates a connection, bringing the outside in
• Can be customised in different materials and colours
• Can feature high quality fittings and energy-efficient glazing

Whether large or small, corner windows create a focal point in any room and have the interior appear more spacious due to the wide view out that is created. At windows24.com they can be tailored to match home design and add a contemporary feel to living spaces while remaining excellently functional and of high quality.

There are two main types of corner windows – those formed by two windows joined together by a coupling and those built using glass on glass, otherwise known as a glass corner.

Except for where the corner faces meet, the top, bottom, and outer sides of glass on glass corner windows from windows24.com are encased by aluminium frames. This adds much structural stability thanks to the metal's natural robustness and durability.

In terms of corner windows or French doors created using coupling profiles, at windows24.com the frames of these products can come in aluminium, uPVC-alu, wood-alu, uPVC, or wood.

As the decision comes down to personal design preference and functional house requirements, we like to keep the choice as wide as possible so windows and doors can be perfectly tailored. Where, for example, uPVC with its modern internal chambers is particularly insulating, wood adds unparalleled charm. uPVC-alu or wood-alu with clad metal exteriors, on the other hand, can combine these features with the weather-resistance and superior sturdiness of aluminium.

For corner windows created with coupling profiles a wide range of colour finishes can then be selected. To ensure lasting vibrance and high-quality these are professionally applied during manufacturing.

For aluminium frames, popular shades, such as anthracite, white, or light graphite grey are available, for instance, and will be powder-coated onto anodised surfaces. When it comes to uPVC, authentic wood or metal replica decors are then popular choices as well as standard tones like moss green. These are added to frames as foils under high temperatures.

To ensure excellent energy-efficiency and break-in protection for their generous glazed surfaces, corner windows formed with coupling profiles can come with a range of purpose-designed glass and security options. Triple glazing can be used, for example. Featuring three panes and inert argon gas, this glass helps to prevent energy loss thanks to its thickness and low conductivity, which in turn keeps interiors comfortable and saves on energy bills.

In terms of enhanced security, there are a range of opening options for corner windows created using coupling profiles. From a tilt-only to fixed or tilt and turn window mechanism, customers can select the number of mushroom pins, striking plates, and structural locking points in our online configurator to maximise break-in protection. A range of lockable window handles in different styles are also available.
