When you want the counter surface to run continuous to the outside, there is not a traditional wood sill piece. You can either step the countertop surface down slightly and provide a sweep on the bottom of the notched sash, or you can provide a break in the counter to accommodate the folding window channel/guide. Neither detail is completely watertight, so we always provide a deep, protective overhang above and avoid locating this detail on the side of the house most exposed to the elements.
This particular kitchen is fairly modest and additional storage is provided in the island and on the appliance wall as seen in this image:

The doors and windows on this residence were custom fabricated by a local mill.

Hi - are you able to tell me what the table surface is? Is it marble?

I would like to create a pass-through window like this at my beach house, ideally with the same granite used for kitchen countertops run through it and extended to the exterior pull-up bar. Is there no window sill? Does it have screens? How is it sealed against the elements? What would keep the rain out when the north wind is blowing 40 knots? How did you compensate for the shortage of wall cabinet storage when 6' is dedicated to this pass through? Any other practical information you can share? With gratitude.

Hi @Ginahertel,

We apologize for the delay in the response, your question somehow slipped past us. We hope this still helps:
-There is a window sill that is on the counter top--it's just not too visible in the image above. I posted another image at the bottom that will give you a closer look at the door system.
- Screens: all of our systems can be accessorized by screens including our kitchen-transition.
- NanaWall systems perform in all types of weather climates. We have testing available for wind, water, forced entry and impact, thermal performance and structural load.
- As far as compensating for shortage of wall cabinet, please contact a qualified interior designer. They will be able to assist you in creating a design that will allow for maximum storage space.
