Depending on the room layout, we must decide whether the window should open and close to the left or right. In the kitchen, however, it is advisable to use a permanently glazed lower light and above it two small wings to turn open. In the case of roof windows, window types are often used that allow them to swing open. If windows are difficult to reach an electrical opening mechanism makes sense.
Overview of special window types
Burglary protection
In addition to the windows on the ground floor, the basement is particularly prone to break-ins. Therefore, in the basement area, one should rather install small, only hinged window types with grilles in order to increase the burglary protection.
Fire protection
There is also a large number of window types that we can develop for specially safety-related issues. So, in the event of fire, the residents of a house can quickly exit via exit windows, the roof or in larger properties in particular, in the event of a fire, the smoke can also be drawn off automatically via special windows. For all of these tasks there are special window types that have been adapted to the respective protection function.
Renovation of old buildings
We can use a large number of different types of windows in old buildings. In many cases, a complete renovation or restoration or even a new purchase of these old windows is necessary in the case of energetic refurbishments, since modern solutions are not possible for structural and physical reasons or because a house has to meet a certain building and monument protection requirements.
