Facilitates the entry of natural light indoors and enables the occupants to enjoy the views outside. They serve to keep the building cross-ventilated. If the opening is not less than 10% of the floor area, then the room is naturally lighted. WINDOW Frame: The fixed part of the window that is installed in the wall. Mullion: The vertical element that splits the window into several sub-elements. Sill: The horizontal part of the window frame. Jambs: The vertical parts of the frame. Sash: The openable and movable part of the door. Glazing bar: A bar or beading that fixes the glass panel. Spacer bar: The divider inside the glass. Traditionally used because working with large glass panes were impractical. WINDOW WINDOWS The selection of size, shape, location and the number of windows to be provided in a room depends upon the following considerations: Size of room Location of the room and its utility. Architectural treatment to be given to the building. Direction of wind and its speed. Climatic factors prevailing at the site such as humidity and temperature.  WINDOWS SASH A sash window is the traditional style of window in the United Kingdom. The space between the rails is divided into small panels by mean of small timber members called sash bars or glazing bars.  WINDOWS CORNER WINDOW Corner window is placed in a corner of the room of the house. Here two windows meet at a corner or edge of a structure. The two adjacent surfaces of the house contain segments of the window which meet at the edge of the surfaces.  WINDOWS DORMER WINDOW A dormer is a roofed structure, often containing a window, that projects vertically beyond the plane of a pitched roof. A dormer window (also called dormer) is a form of roof window.  WINDOWS CASEMENT WINDOW (NORMAL GLAZED OPENING) Normal glazed opening: clear vision. A casement is a window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges.  WINDOWS JALLS OR PERFORATIONS It is just an obstructed vision (provides privacy). JALOUSIE A jalousie window or louvre window is a window composed of parallel glass, acrylic, or wooden louvers set in a frame.  WINDOWS CLERESTORY A clerestory is a high section of wall that contains windows above eye level. Also known as overstorey window. Allows light and air inside the room.  WINDOWS STAINED GLASS A window composed of pieces of colored glass, transparent, translucent or opaque, frequently portraying persons or scenes. Typically separated by lead glazing bars. These are especially common in churches.  WINDOWS DIOCLETIAN WINDOW Thermal or Diocletian windows are large semicircular windows which are usually divided into three lights by two mullions. The central compartment is often wider than the two side lights on either side of it.  WINDOWS FRENCH WINDOW A French window is a large door- sized lattice light, typically set in pairs or multiples thereof. They often overlook a terrace and are commonly used in modern houses.  WINDOWS BAY WINDOW A multi-panel window, with at least three panels set at different angles to create a protrusion from the wall line. Such windows project outside the external wall. Provides wide vision. Slope angle is between 30-45 degrees.  WINDOWS MULTI-LIT WINDOW A window glazed with small panels of glass separated by wooden or lead glazing bars. Due to the historic unavailability of large panes of glass, the multi-lit was the most common window style until the beginning of the 20th century, and is still used in traditional architecture.  WINDOWS MULTI-LIT WINDOW A window glazed with small panes of glass separated by wooden or lead glazing bars.

The increased insulating air space of triple-pane glass delivers even better energy efficiency and noise reduction.  WINDOWS SKYLIGHT A fixed flat or slope window used for daylighting, built into a roof structure that is out of reach. Allows light to admit evenly all over the room. Lead gutters are arranged to frame to make it as waterproof.  TYPES OF SKYLIGHTS SOLAR FIXED VENTILATING VENTILATING BARREL SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS  TYPES OF SKYLIGHTS CURB DECK MOUNTED MOUNTED TUBULAR PYRAMID SKYLIGHT SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS  TYPES OF SKYLIGHTS TILT DOME GLASS WINDOW RIDGE SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS SKYLIGHTS  Types of Window Based on Materials WOODEN FIBERGLASS ALUMINUM FOAM FILLED WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW Wood windows are Fiberglass windows are An aluminum window Foam filled windows usually wood on the very light in weight and is a window featuring increase insulation, inside (typically pine they have a very strong typical glass window leads to cooler or Douglas Fir). strength-to-weight ratio. panes, plus a window summers and warmer This window material is frame and/or window winters indoors. stronger than vinyl, sash that are made of aluminum, and another aluminum. wood composite that are widely used for the manufacturing of windows.  Types of Window Based on Materials WOODEN FIBERGLASS ALUMINUM FOAM FILLED WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW Wood windows are Fiberglass windows are An aluminum window Foam filled windows usually wood on the very light in weight and is a window featuring increase insulation, inside (typically pine they have a very strong typical glass window leads to cooler or Douglas Fir). strength-to-weight ratio. panes, plus a window summers and warmer This window material is frame and/or window winters indoors. stronger than vinyl, sash that are made of aluminum, and another aluminum. wood composite that are widely used for the manufacturing of windows.  Types of Window Based on Materials WOODEN FIBERGLASS ALUMINUM FOAM FILLED WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW Wood windows are Fiberglass windows are An aluminum window Foam filled windows usually wood on the very light in weight and is a window featuring increase insulation, inside (typically pine they have a very strong typical glass window leads to cooler or Douglas Fir). strength-to-weight ratio. panes, plus a window summers and warmer This window material is frame and/or window winters indoors. stronger than vinyl, sash that are made of aluminum, and another aluminum. wood composite that are widely used for the manufacturing of windows.  Types of Window Based on Materials WOODEN FIBERGLASS ALUMINUM FOAM FILLED WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW Wood windows are Fiberglass windows are An aluminum window Foam filled windows usually wood on the very light in weight and is a window featuring increase insulation, inside (typically pine they have a very strong typical glass window leads to cooler or Douglas Fir). strength-to-weight ratio. panes, plus a window summers and warmer This window material is frame and/or window winters indoors. stronger than vinyl, sash that are made of aluminum, and another aluminum. wood composite that are widely used for the manufacturing of windows.  Types of Window Based on Materials WOODEN FIBERGLASS ALUMINUM FOAM FILLED WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW Wood windows are Fiberglass windows are An aluminum Foam filled windows very light in weight and window is a window increase insulation, usually wood on the they have a very strong featuring typical glass inside (typically leads to cooler strength-to-weight ratio. pine or Douglas Fir). window panes, plus a summers and This window material is stronger than vinyl, window frame and/or warmer winters aluminum, and another window sash that are indoors. wood composite that are made of aluminum. widely used for the manufacturing of windows. Wooden Aluminum Window Window Fiberglass Foam Filled Window Window
