Timber Window: Ar. Vaibhav Ghodke Asst. Professor, APCOA

Timber windows provide daylight, vision, and ventilation through openings in walls. They are specified by IS 4021 and should allow 1/10 of floor area for ventilation. Key considerations in design include frame fixing, size/shape, sills, opening directions, and safety grills. Hardware like hinges, locks, and seals are also important. Windows are classified by purpose, material, location, operation type, and shape. Common timber window types include awning, casement, fixed, pivot, and sliding windows. Details like joints, frames, and glazing are also discussed.
