Origins
It’s not enough to have holes in the walls to allow light. It also lets in weather, heat and may allow unwanted visitors to enter! Early “windows” made up for this by covering the holes with materials such as animal hide, cloth or even wood. Glass was invented to allow light in while preventing insects, heat and weather.
Over time, windows have changed from holes in the wall to lavish hardwoods. The advancement of technologies has influenced the design of windows and we now have different styles to pick from.
Modern windows are usually constructed from aluminium which makes them very strong long-lasting, durable and energy efficient. As opposed to timber, aluminium is not subject to twisting, bending, rotting or warping and can last for many years without needing to be frequently sanded or treated.
The word “window” is derived from the Old English eagthyrl or auga, meaning eye-hole. In some languages, the direct connection to the eye is not present however, it remains in others. The Latin word for window, fenestra, is still in use in many countries.
Paper windows were popular in the past in China and Korea however it wasn’t until after the seventeenth century that glass was made available to homeowners of all kinds. Until then frames were built with timber, and windows had to be small to accommodate the glass panes that often had air bubbles and distortions which are part of the appeal of old buildings with these windows. The advent of glass production which allowed for larger and more flatter panes has had a significant influence on the design of windows through the centuries.

In the period of industrial revolution, windows were an integral element of workplaces and factories. They let in light from the sun which improved worker productivity and safety. They also provided a good method of allowing air to circulate. Over time, as the demand for large glass surfaces increased, windows became oversized.
