FUNCTIONALITY CUES

Doors and windows are the two most important elements of a building envelope. These features directly affect how the building performs overall. The demand for new doors and windows is driven by a positive trend of consumers remodelling or getting new construction done. "Earlier, the window solutions were restricted to wooden windows and doors. After improved technology and techniques, materials like uPVC and aluminium are the main solutions due to characteristics like durability, efficient performance, quality, and aesthetics. These are gradually gaining prominence over wood, steel, and other materials. The windows are available in elegant bespoke designs such as sliding windows, bay windows, villa windows and casement windows, among others," says Aparna Kaushik, Principal Architect, Aparna Kaushik Design Group.
