Windows don’t have to be square or rectangular. Investors are increasingly turning to unusual shapes. For their homes they choose window joinery in the shape of a circle or trapezoid. Such a non-standard joinery is created on the basis of individual design, however, it is necessary to remember certain design requirements.
Arched and round windows. Where can they be applied?
Arched windows are often an ornament of classy mansions or historic palaces. They give a unique character to the entire interior and façade. Wheel-shaped windows are ideal for rooms where there is not enough space for ordinary windows ? bathrooms, attic or staircases. We can successfully apply them in modern construction as well as traditional, for example, manor house.
MS more thanWINDOWS offers arched windows in the classic openable, tilting, or swing-tilting version. At the customer’s request, the arc window may have fixed glazing, while round windows may open or tilt. PVC profiles offer great design possibilities, however, keep in mind that with this type of joinery, the minimum bending radius is 650mm.
Triangular and trapezoidal windows. Great shape capabilities
Sometimes choosing standard window joinery is not a satisfactory solution for us. We can meet our expectations with windows in the shape of a triangle or trapezoid.
Slanted windows look perfect when mounted at the top of a building. They blend very well with the two-pad roof structure ? they are then a coherent composition with the body of the house and illuminate the attic. They are also very successful in architectural designs stylized as “modern barns”.
Ms offers both triangular and trapezoidal windows. It is worth remembering that there are certain technological requirements to which such window structures are subject. When designing a house with slanted windows, pay attention to the measure of sharp angles ? the higher their value, the easier it will be to produce them. Connecting profiles at a sharp angle in trapezoidal windows should be at least 60 degrees. An important rule that applies to triangular windows is its surface ? it should not be more than 8m2 for colored windows and 10m2 for white windows.
Arched and oblique windows are also good parameters
Window joinery with unusual shapes offers equally good parameters of thermal insulation and resistance to wind or rain. When choosing, for example, to buy MSline+ windows, we focus on the latest technology tailored to individual expectations, maintaining a balance between performance and price. Thanks to innovative solutions, dreams of original carpenclar and a unique home can go hand in hand with the care of energy efficiency of the building.
