So many windows, so little time

Architect LondonClients come to us because they want to work with a company that can provide them with the best architect London can offer.

With our top talent, we are capable of doing this for them and then some.

An essential component of any building would be the windows. In many cases, we classify them by their operating systems. As far as bespoke solutions go, there is an infinite number. Saying this however, the mechanisms here are among the most common.

Non-operational

Firstly, we have picture or fixed windows. These are designs that are not operational. In other words, they don’t open. We design them in a way that enables them to let in the light and generate clear views. However, you cannot open them to allow air in.

Sash

Next, we have the famous sash windows. They can have several movable panels or a single one. To open, they glide vertically. One model of sash window is single-hung. Here, you typically fix the top panel while the bottom one slides down and up. As for the double-hung sash, you can move both panels up and down. These are beneficial since they supply effective cooling when things get warm.

Casement

Finally, we will talk about casement windows. You hinge these windows on one side. This allows you to swing the window closed and open. Typically, you can find the casement window in an awning or hopper design. The former ones swing outward from the structure and are hinged at the top. As for the latter, they swing inwards while still being hinged at the top. They are common for basements.
