Here is another type of commonly used window, the grate window. These are the least expensive type of window but are very functional. They are made of glass plates and a metal frame. They do not weather or wear out and are have an opening and closing mechanism that works well with the window screen. The downside of these windows is they are hard to clean and some think not as pretty as wood or aluminum. They are very appropriate for the back of a house and the kitchen.

This shows one way of framing a bathroom door. Since the frames are of lightweight plastic type material, a wood frame is used to support the weight of the cement which is poured on top. Without this support, the door frame will bend. (15-May-04)dozer     (0 votes)

A wood framed window. Notice that above and below the wood frame is a concrete row. For aluminum windows the setup is similar but there is no frame. The construction folks will create a frame of concrete all around the window prior to having the aluminum company come and measure. (28-Mar-04)dozer     (0 votes)

Close up of wood windows which have been varnished. There are various treatments available for wood, the most common being varnish or urethane, for outside surfaces a good quality varnish will tend to hold up better. (27-Jun-04)dozer     (0 votes)
