• Larger number of doors cause obstructions and consume more area in
circulation.
• Door should not be located in center of length of wall.
• If there are 2 doors in room, door should preferably be located in
opposite wall, facing each other so as to provide good ventilation and
free air circulation.
• The sill of a window should be located about 70 to 80 cm about floor
level of the room.
• From the point of view of fresh air, a window should be located on

vertical styles, three ledges
and two inclined braces.
• The braces are normally
housed into rails at about
40mm from the styles.
• The thickness of styles and
top rail is same which is
equal to the thickness of
braces and battens.

56. Window is comprised of two
parts:
1. Window Frame: Window
frames are fixed to the
opening in the wall by
means of suitable hold fast.
2. Sashes or shutter Frame:
This are fixed to window
frame by means of suitable
hinges.
Functions of windows:
• To admit light and air to the
room
• To give a view to the outside
• To provide insulation against
heat loss and in some cases,
against sound.

The Selection of size, shape ,location and number
of windows in a room depends upon the following
factors:
1.Size of the room
2.Location of the room
3.Utility of the room
4.Direction of the wall
5.Direction of the wind
6.Climatic conditions such as temp.,humidity etc.
7.Requirement of exterior view
8.Architectural treatment to the exterior of the
building
58. Prepared By: Prof D.V.Patel
Based on the factors consider for window, following
thumb rules are use :
1. Breadth of window = 1/8 ( Width of room + Height of
room)
2. The total area of window opening should normally vary
from 10 to 20 % of the floor area of the room.
3. The area of opening should be at least one square meter
for every 30 to 40 cubic meter inside content of the room.
4. In public building, minimum are of window should be
20% of floor area.
5. For sufficient natural light, the area of glazed panels
should at least be 8 to 10% of the floor area.
82. DORMER WINDOW
The dormer protrusion on a sloped roof is determined by the size of the window
and the designer's preference. Some people add blind or false dormers as an
architectural feature in homes. But homes with an attic conversion that features an extra
bedroom or an office welcome the addition of light and extra headroom that a dormer
window brings. The dormer itself has its own roof, which can be a hip, eyebrow,
shed, segmental or gable roof, depending on the architectural design.

83. GABLE WINDOW
The gable window sits at the end of a pitched roof on the side of the house with a
flat surface to allow natural light into the room. It doesn't require a protrusion
because it is not placed into the sloping angle of the roof. It appears like a normal
window set onto the house's side. The width of the house at the gable end determines
how many windows can be placed in this area, as well as its proportions in relationship
to the rest of the house

88. A fanlight is a window, often semicircular or semi-
elliptical in shape, with glazing bars or tracery sets
radiating out like an open fan. It is placed over another
window or a doorway, and is sometimes hinged to a
transom.
