Doors & Windows

Doors and windows are essential components of a building's architecture, providing access, ventilation, natural light, and security. Here's a brief overview of each:

1. Doors: Doors are movable barriers typically hinged or sliding, used to close off an entrance, passage, or opening within a building. They come in various types, including:

   • Exterior Doors: These are installed at the entry points of a building, providing security and weather resistance. They can be made of materials such as wood, steel, fiberglass, or aluminum.

   • Interior Doors: These are used to separate rooms or spaces within a building and are generally lighter and less sturdy than exterior doors. They can be solid, hollow, or have glass inserts for aesthetic purposes.

   • Specialty Doors: There are also specialized doors such as fire-rated doors, soundproof doors, sliding barn doors, pocket doors, and revolving doors, each designed for specific purposes and applications.

2. Windows: Windows are openings in the walls of a building that allow light, air, and sometimes sound to pass through. They come in various styles and designs, including:

   • Fixed Windows: These windows cannot be opened and are used primarily for bringing in natural light and providing views.

   • Operable Windows: These windows can be opened and closed to regulate airflow and ventilation. Common types include casement windows, awning windows, sliding windows, and double-hung windows.

   • Specialty Windows: Specialty windows include bay windows, bow windows, skylights, and architectural windows, which are designed to enhance aesthetics and provide unique architectural features.

Both doors and windows can be customized in terms of materials, sizes, styles, and finishes to match the design and functional requirements of a building. They play a crucial role in defining the character, comfort, and functionality of interior and exterior spaces.
