This document discusses different types of doors and windows. It describes common materials used for door construction like timber, plywood, glass, and metal. It also discusses factors to consider when selecting doors like strength, durability, and cost. The document classifies doors based on their arrangement of components and manner of construction. It describes different types of windows like fixed, pivoted, double hung, sliding, casement, sash, louvred, metal, bay, corner, dormer, gable, and lantern windows. It also discusses ventilators, fanlights, skylights, and shades for windows.
4. MATERIALS OF DOOR CONSTRUCTION:
• TIMBER:
• Widely used
• Prefer for its appearance
• Constructed with solid planks and pieces
• PLYWOOD:
• Very useful, for flush door
• Good polish and provides smooth and plain appearance
• GLASS:
• Pieces are fixed in door panels to admit light inside the room.
• Frosted glass, beaded glass, ribbed glass
• METAL:
• Steel and aluminum framed doors are widely used
• If properly maintained, their life is very long.
• CONCRETE:
• Frames are used in area where door are exposed to vermin, fungus, white ants.
5. DIMENSION OF DOORS:
• Should have sufficient space to take required
large object to the room.
• Minimum widths for public buildings;
1.2 m., 1 m., 0.9 m.
• Width of door leading to bathrooms : 0.7 m.
• Height of door: HEIGHT = width + 0.9 to 1.1 m.
• The door of garage : 2.5 * 2.2 m.
6. FACTORS TO CONSIDER:
• Strength and stability
• Durability
• Cost
• Weather resistance
• Fire resistance
• Easy for the maintenance
• Sound proof ability
• Thermal comfort
• Excellent appearance
• Environment friendly materials
24. WINDOWS:
• A window is a transferant or a translucent opening in a wall or door that
allows the passage of light and if not closed or sealed , air and sound.
• Windows are held in place by frames, which prevent them from collapsing
in.
• Purpose:
• Admits light
• Provides fresh air and ventilation
• Add details, balance , interest
• Visually enlarges interior space
• Main factors to consider when selecting window
• Strength: to tale max. space for window strength of the walls should be
considered
• Ventilation: selected window sizes should be large enough to satisfy the
required ventilation conditions.
25. WINDOWS:
A WINDOW IS
COMPRISED OF
TWO PARTS:
1. WINDOW FRAME
2. SASHES OR SHUTER
FRAME

27.
28. FIXED WINDOWS:
A WINDOW THAT CANNOT BE OPENED, WHOSE FUNCTION IS LIMITED
TO ALLOWING LIGHT TO ENTRE.
USE: LIGHT OR VISION ALONE IS NEEDED AS
NO VENTILATION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH FIXED WINDOW.
29. PIVOTED
WINDOWS:
A WINDOW HAVING A SECTION WHICH IS
PIVOTED NEAR THE CENTRE SO THAT THE TOP
OF THE SECTION SWINGS IN AND THE BOTTOM
SWINGS OUT.
30.
31. DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS:
A WINDOW WITH TWO PARTS THAT OVERLAP SLIGHTLY AND SLIDE UP
AND DOWN INSIDE FRAME.
THE TWO PARTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME SIZE.
33. CASEMENT WINDOWS:
ITS FRAME BY ONE OR MORE HINGES.
THEY ARE USED SIGHTLY OR IN PAIRS WITHIN A COMMON FRAME.
34. SASH
WINDOWS:

36. LOUVERED
WINDOWS:
BLIND WITH
HORIZONTAL SLATS
THAT ARE ANGLED
TO ADMIT : LIGHT
AND AIR
TO KEEP OUT : RAIN,
DIRECT
SUNSHINE,AND
NOISE.
THE ANGLE OF THE
SLATS MAYBE
ADJUSTABLES,USUSAL
LY IN BLINDS AND
WINDOWS, OR FIXED.
45. LANTERN
WINDOWS:
PROVIDED OVER THE FLAT ROOF; TO
PROVIDE MORE LIGHT AND AIR TO
THE INNER ROOM.
THE WINDOWS PROJECT ABOVE THE
ROF LEVEL.
46. VENTILATORS & FANLIGHTS :
VENTILATION is a narrow window of small height fitted near the
roof of a room for ventilation. The construction is similar to the
fanlights. They are horizontally pivoted.
FANLIGHTS the small windows or ventilator fitted above the door
or window frame separated by transom. The function is to ensure cross
ventilation in the room even if the door or windows are closed. They
also assist in admitting natural light.
47. SKY LIGHT:
These are fixed windows on the sloping roofs.
Admit natural light and help distribute light more evenly throughout
the room, considered an energy saver feature.
In addition to reducing the need to use electric lights, it can deliver
warmth in the winter and cooling in summer, minimizing the need for
fuel based heating and air conditioning.
On winter days, the un’s radiant energy can shine through a south- or
west-facing skylight to warm interior surface.
The opening for the window is made by cutting common rafters. The
framework consist of trimming pieces, curb frames, bottom rail and top
rail. The opening is treated with lead flashing to ensure water proofing.
Skylights may be plastic or glass, fixed or operable, and made in any
number of sizes and styles.
