choosing windows for your house, you may want to look at different designs to
serve different purposes.
Here
are the names of some common designs of windows used at homes with a brief
description of each type.
- Sliding Windows:
These usually consist of two overlapping parts functioning as a single unit. On
opening the window, one part slides over the other to let in air and also light
if the window material is non-transparent. They slide on rollers that allow
friction-free and easy movement. Theses windows help in letting in air and
maintaining ventilation. They are usually used in areas of the house where
maximum use of room space is the primary aim. As one or more parts slide over the
others, there is no extra space taken up in opening the window either inwards
or outwards. These windows also provide a nice view of the outside.
- Bay Windows:
These are made up of three or more subunits which project outward to form a
space within. The subunits are aligned at certain angles to one another. These
windows produce a small private space and cab be used in children’s rooms as
they form a great spot for games and fun activities. These windows provide a
protective and safe environment and are also resistant to harsh weather
conditions. They are available in multiple subunit choices and makes. They add
to the elegance and grace of the part of the house where they are put up.
- Casement Windows:
Casement windows are hinged from an outer frame and can open inside or outside.
The top-hinged ones are called awning windows while the bottom-hinged ones are
known as hoppers. These windows, when opened, help in keeping the indoor
environment airy and well-ventilated and are effectively resistant to pollution,
dust and noise when closed. They are usually fitted in areas of the house which
are warmer and more humid than the other parts and require a good deal of
ventilation. Washrooms and sometimes kitchens are fitted with these windows.
- Picture Windows:
These windows are fixed and cannot be opened. They are mainly used for
providing a view of the outside and to add to the elegance of the room. They
allow light to enter but not air. They do not allow noise, heat, pollutants,
etc. to enter the room or space they are put up in and are resistant to
rainwater seepage. They may be used in combination with workable windows and
are commonly used in living rooms, basements and sometimes dining rooms too.
