In the course of the industrial revolution, windows were an integral element of offices and factories. They let sunlight in, increasing worker productivity as well as safety and health.
Origins
The earliest windows were simply holes in walls to let light in, but that is not really enough. It also lets in the weather and heat, and could allow unwanted visitors to enter! The first "windows", to counter this covered the holes with materials such as animal hides, cloth or even wooden. Glass was invented to let light to pass through while keeping out heat, insects, and weather.
Windows have evolved significantly over the years, from simple holes in walls to luxury wooden windows. The development of new technologies has changed the look of windows, which is the reason we have a wide range of window styles to choose from.
Modern windows are often made of aluminium which makes them strong and durable as well as energy efficient. Aluminium is more resistant to warping, rotting, twisting and bending than wood. It will last many years without having to be treated or repainted.
The word "window" itself is derived from the Old English eagthyrl or auga which means eye-hole. In certain languages, the direct connection to the eye is not present however, it remains in others. The Latin word for window is fenestra which is still used in many countries.
Paper windows were popular in ancient China and Korea, but it wasn't until the 17th century that glass was made available to ordinary homeowners. Frames were made of timber up to the time of the invention, and windows were small to fit the huge glass panes. amersham windows had air bubbles or distortions, which enhance the beauty of older structures. The advent of glass production that enabled larger and flatter panes, has had a major influence on the design of windows through the centuries.
