Durowin Window, size 1 022 x 949 mm high

A window has an outer frame, a sash, and its glazing. There are many types: hinged casements, vertical sliding sash windows, horizontal sliding windows, pivoted sashes, tilt-and-turn windows, vent-lights, hopper windows, etc. They are mainly of timber, aluminium, steel or PVC.  Factory – finished windows are usually made to go in a sub-frame.
