Process of fixing doors and windows
Wooden Door and window frames are fixed in openings at the time of wall
construction. Holdfasts to required numbers are nailed on the frame before setting frame to position. Frame is carried to position and set with the help of ropes and poles. Frame is than put to plumb (frame should be perfectly vertical). Once the frame is set and leveled, the holdfasts are fixed in wall with cement concrete etc. Final checking of plumb is done, if required corrections are applied. Shutters are finally fixed before painting works. Aluminum and PVC frames are fixed after completing masonry work.

Glazing in windows
Single and double-glazing The window frame with glass in panels is called glazed section. Single layer of glass is single glazing and section with double layer of glass
is double-glazing. Single glazing is the general practice and double-glazing is done for special purpose, Almost all glazed windows are of double glazed in Europe and other cold region. Double glazing conserves energy to high degree. There must be vacuum in-between two glasses otherwise condensation takes place. Glass permits entry of solar radiation but changes wavelength thus heat energy is entrapped- called green house effect.

provided near the roof or floor slab in the building. The main purpose of the ventilator is to facilitate air flow in the building. It also acts to provide natural light.
