here are things you should know If you are planning to remodel your home to make it better with new door installations or window installations, it is important to know more about windows before making a decision. It is important to know about the basic components of a window, various categories of windows, design and application of a window and many more. This will help in acquiring gainful insight about windows before using them for reinstallation.

Basic window makeup The windows basically have three components which are a sash, frame and a glass. These three components form a window. Window’ s outermost border is made from a frame and this is the part that gets attached with house walls. This frame can be made using PVC, wood, aluminium, iron, steel, etc. Window gets a structure with this frame and along with sash, the looks of the window will be determined, both interior as well as exterior. The second layer of the window is the sash which helps in holding the glass of the window together with the frame. Most of the time, it is overlooked as it is not easy difficult to see from where the sash begins and the frame ends. If it is an operable window, it is quite easier as the sash moves in tandem with the glass with frame being stationary. From design point of view, a big role is played by the sash and sash glass interface. It can change the way a window looks. A window is incomplete without the glass. The glass can come in a variety of thicknesses and types. It can be reflective, tinted, clear, textured or a stained glass with ornate designs.


Different types of windows Windows can be of different types. It can be fixed or picture. It can also be double hung or single hung. It can come with an awning or a pushout or a casement. Pivot or hopper also makes windows distinct. It can also be turn & tile window making it distinct. In case of fixed or picture windows, the window can either be immovable or movable. Both windows do not open but in fixed window, there is a sash which is non-operable while in picture window, the sash is skipped and on the frame, the glass gets mounted directly. Whether a window is single hung or double hung is not anything new. They are being used since a long time. They can be divided horizontally into a lower and an upper sash. The lower sash is movable up and down in a single hung window with upper sash staying fixed. Weights are used in these windows as gravity can pull sashes down right after being opened. Thus, to keep sashes in a suitable position, friction or springs are used. Awning in the windows When replacing old windows with new ones, windows that come with awnings can also be used. In such windows, sash can be opened on the outer side. Conversely, in casement style windows, sash can be seen hinged either on the right or left side which will help the window opening just like a swinging door. Many companies offer these different styles of windows.
