Amersham UPVC Windows
uPVC windows are popular for modern, new construction or traditional homes. They are easy to maintain and can be able to withstand the harsh elements.
In the course of the industrial revolution, windows became an integral part of factories and offices. They were used to let in natural light and improve worker productivity, safety, and health.
Origins
The earliest windows were simply holes in walls to let light in but this isn't enough. It also lets in the weather or heat and can let unwanted visitors in! Early "windows" made up for this by covering the holes with materials such as animal hide, cloth or wood. Glass was developed to let light in but keep out insects, weather and heat.
Over time windows have evolved from simple holes in the wall to lavish hardwoods. The development of new technologies has changed the look of windows, which is why we now have a broad selection of styles to pick from.
Modern windows are usually made of aluminium, which makes them very strong long-lasting and energy efficient. Like timber, aluminum is not subject to twisting, bending, rotting or warping and will last for many years without needing to be sanded regularly or treated.
The word 'window' itself originates from the Old English eagthyrl or auga, meaning eye-hole. The connection to the eye has been lost in certain languages, however in other like the traditional Swedish fonster or German Fenster - it still exists. The Latin term for window is fenestra which is still used in many countries.
Paper windows were common in ancient China and Korea, but it wasn't until the 17th century that glass was made available to ordinary homeowners. Frames were constructed of timber up to the time of the invention, and windows were too small to accommodate the larger glass panes. These windows often included air bubbles or distortions, which contribute to the charm of older structures. The advent of glass production, which allowed for larger and flatter panes have had a significant influence on the design of windows through the centuries.

In the course of the industrial revolution, windows became an integral component of workplaces and factories. They allowed natural light in and helped increase worker productivity and security. They also provided a good way to let air circulate. Over time, as the demand for large glass surfaces increased windows became larger. It was difficult for architects to support huge sheets of glass. They eventually began using smaller pieces of translucent material such as flattened horns of animals, and thin slices of marble, set in lead or iron frames.
