Defination & location
Defination : A Door May Be Defined As An Openable Barrier Secured
In A Wall Opening.
Location Of Doors And Windows :
 Doors Should Preferable Be Located Near The Corner Of A Room,
At A Distance Of About 20cm From Corner.
 The Numbers Of Doors In A Room Should Be Kept Minimum,
Because The Large Number Of Doors Causes Obstruction And
Decreases Utility Of The Accomodition.
 From the point of view of free fresh air, a windows should be
located on the northern side of a room.
 A windows should be located in opposite wall, facing a door or
another window, so that cross ventilation is achieved.
 The location of windows should also meet the functional
requirments of the room, such as interior decoration, arrangement of
furniture etc.

Defination & Factors
Defination : A window is defined as an opening made in wall of a
building for the purpose of providing natural light, natural
ventilation and vision.
 The construction of window is identical to that of door. Window
consists of a window frame and shutter.
The selection of size, shape, location and number of windows in a
room depends upon the following factors :
1) Size of room
2) Location of the room
3) Utility of the room
4) Direction of the wall
5) Direction of wind
6) Climatic conditions such as humidity, temperature, etc.
Design of windows :
The points to be kept in view while making provision for windows in a
room are :
• The size and number of windows should be sufficient to provide
adequate light and ventilation in the room.
• Windows should be located opposite to each other wherever
possible. Windows provided on Northern side permit maximum day
light without glare.
• The windows sill should be placed at 75 to 100 cm above the floor
level. The top of doors and windows should be at the same level.
• The shutter of windows in external walls should open outside. This
checks entry of rain water inside the room.
• Windows on external walls should be provided with chajja
projections to prevent the entry of rain water in the room.
Types of windows :
1. Casement window
2. Steel window
3. Bay window
4. Clear storey window
5. Corner window
6. Dormer window
7. Sky window
8. Lantern window
9. Gable window
10. Double hung window
11. Sliding window
12. Pivoted window
1.Casement window
2.Steel window
3.Bay window
4.Clear storey window

Ventilators
• A ventilator may be defined as a narrow window
of small height provided near the roof of a room
for providing ventilation in the room.
• The ventilator has a frame and a shutter, generally
glazed, which is horizontally pivoted.
• The shutter can be opened and closed by means
of, two cords, one attached to the top rail and
other to the bottom rail of the shutter.
• The top edge of the shutter opens inside and the
bottom edge opens outside, so that rail water is
excluded.
Ventilator size
Normally, the following sizes of ventilators are
adopted :
1) 600mm * 600mm
2) 1000mm * 600mm
3) 1200mm * 600mm
• Ventilators are also provided in bathrooms
