Day light, vision & ventilation. The construction of windows is similar to that of a door. Window
consists of a window Frame and shutter. The frame consists of two vertical members called
jambs, one flat member connecting the jambs at the top, known as head and another flat
member connecting the jamb at the feet known as sill. The shutter can be fully glazed, panelled
and glazed or panelled type. Windows are normally provided with two leaves.

TYPES OF TIMBER WINDOWS-
CASEMENT WINDOW: Windows where shutters open like doors are
called casement windows. Similar to doors, this type of window has
frame and shutter composed of stiles, top rails, bottom rails, vertical
and horizontal sash bars with glass panes. Depending upon the design,
the frames of a casement window can also have additional vertical and
horizontal members known as mullion and Tran some respectively.
SASH OR GLAZED WINDOWS:
In this type the window shutter consists of two vertical stiles, top rail and
bottom rail. The panel space between the stiles and the rails is suitably
divided by small timber members or bars placed both horizontally or
vertically or only horizontally as per the design requirements. These bars
are known as sash bars or Glazing bars. Thus the sash bars divide the total
panel space of the window shutter into panels of small size. The sash bars
have rebates for fixing the glass panels.

4. SLIDING WINDOWS:
In this type of window the shutters move on roller bearing and can
slide either horizontally or vertically

TYPES OF TIMBER WINDOWS-
DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS: This type of windows consists of a pair of
shutters arranged one above the other which can slide vertically within the
grooves provided in the frame. A pair of metal weights connected by cord or
chain passing over pulleys is provided for each shutter. By this arrangement
the window can be opened at the top or bottom as desired .This type of
window it is possible to have controlled ventilation.
PIVOTED WINDOWS:
In this type of windows the shutter is capable of rotating about a pivot fixed to
window frame. The window frame has no rebate. The shutter can rotate
horizontally or vertically depending upon the position of the pivot.

5. BAY WINDOW: Bay window is a generic term for all
protruding window constructions, regardless of height. The
most common inside angles are 90, 135 and 150 degrees,
though triangular bays formed of two windows set at 120
degrees, called a prow, may be found. All are polygonal or
square.
LOUVERED WINDOWS:
In this type of window the stiles of shutter are grooved to receive a series of louvers
which may be of glass or wood. The louvers are set within the grooves in inclined
position so that they slope downward to the outside in order to run off the rain
water and obstruct the horizontal vision at the same time. The angle of inclination
of the louvers is 45degree. These types of windows provide ventilation and light
even when opening is closed. Commonly recommended for bathrooms, WCS,
workshops and other areas where privacy is maintained. In this type of windows
dust easily gets deposited on the louvers.

CLERESTORY WINDOW:
A clerestory window is a large window or series of small windows along
the top of a structure's wall, usually at or near the roof line. This type of
"fenestration," or glass window placement, is found in both residential
and commercial construction. A clerestory wall often rises above
adjoining roofs..
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.
