Window and doors systems not only enhance the aesthetics of the house but also its functionality. Here one must carefully choose the right material/type, based on climatic conditions prevalent in the geographic location of the house. When it comes to doors and windows, certain basic features such as heat insulation or preventing outside temperature, noise reduction, wind resistance or the ability to manage high wind loads in high-rises and fire resistance, are basic must haves. Other features include durability wherein these doors and windows should have the ability to stand the test of time with minimal maintenance requirements. They should also be UV stable, which means they should not lose colour and shape under extreme weather conditions.
Capt. Edwin Saldanha, MD, Doors and Doors, says, “For different climate condition, different parameters are applied. Window systems are undergoing much technology changes for larger panels and minimalist looks and feel. But the main parameters for air and water infiltration are not compromised on. For very heavy monsoon and cyclone areas, special needs are required for countering and draining off water in window systems. Glass also plays an important role in the combination of the final product. Right installation is also key.”
