Servery windows are a great addition to any home. They have become a highly popular and requested feature when designing a kitchen today. It makes living easy by allowing you to access your food or drinks through a window opening without having to go through the hassle of opening and closing a door. I have to admit, it is pretty cool and is definitely a must-have in our dream kitchen.
Whether you’re having a nice breaky with the family or entertaining some guests, it acts as a connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. Let’s not forget the fact that it also provides a great view of your backyard or garden. Need to check on the kids perhaps?
There are different types of servery windows including a gas-strut window, sliding door, or bifold door.
Bifold Door Servery Window
Pros
- Able to open and close from inside the kitchen
- Low maintenance
- Potential for large openings
- Smooth operation
- Stylish
- Highly secure
Cons
- The window requires a sill
- No security screen option
- Open panels have to stack to either one or both sides which takes up valuable space
Sliding or Stacker Servery Window
Pros
- Able to open and close from inside the kitchen
- Potential for large openings
- Sashes operate and are contained within the window frame
- Flyscreen or security screen option available
Cons
- The window requires a sill
- Since a fixed panel is required at one end, the opening is limited to 2/3 of the window size
Gas Strut Servery Window
Pros

- Saves space by sitting up out of the way
- Bolt locking system into the sides, so there is no need to holes cut into your bench
Cons
