Amersham UPVC Windows
uPVC windows are a popular choice for modern, brand new or traditional homes. They are easy to maintain and are able to withstand harsh weather.
During the industrial revolution, windows became an important component of offices and factories. They were used to let in sunlight and improve productivity of workers as well as safety and health.
Origins
It's not enough to simply have holes in the walls for light. It also allows in unwanted visitors as well as heat and weather. The first "windows" were able to block this by covering the holes with materials such as animal hide, cloth or wood. Glass was invented to let light to pass through but keep out insects, heat and weather.
Over time windows have changed from holes in the wall to lavish hardwoods. The advancement of technology has influenced window design and we now have different styles to choose from.
Modern windows are typically made of aluminium, which makes them extremely durable, long lasting and highly energy efficient. Unlike timber, aluminium isn't susceptible to twisting, bending or warping. It also doesn't rot and will last for many years without the need to be sanded regularly, treated or repainted.
The word 'window' itself originates from the Old English eagthyrl or auga which means eye-hole. In some languages the direct connection to the eye is gone, but it still exists in other. The Latin word for window, fenestra, is still used in many countries.
Paper windows were common in the early days of China, Korea and Japan but it wasn't until the seventeenth century that glass became available for ordinary homes. Frames were made of timber until the 17th century, and windows were small to accommodate the large glass panes. These windows often included air bubbles or distortions, which add to the charm of older buildings. The invention of glass that allowed for bigger and flatter panes, has had a major influence on the design of windows over the ages.
