If you do not employ an architect, that is all the more reason why you should study the design and arrangement of your windows very carefully, ‘Tall, narrow windows tend to make a house look high, while wide, low windows tend to make it look broad, Extremes in either direction usually should be avoided 8 he tops of your windows usually should be several inches below your ceiling. ‘This gives a much better effect than to carry the windows up tight against the ceiling. Also, try to keep the tops of your windows on a line. If the window heights must vary, try to let the variation in the height of the sills above the floor. This is not always possible but it is a good thing to have in mind Group your windows, Place two or three or even four or five together, side by side. Single windows sometimes are hard to space nicely and if you use enough of them to give proper light and air they reduce the amount of free wall space and often make it hard to place the larger pieces of furniture, such as davenports, pianos and book ceases, just where you want them, ‘The height of window sills above the floor is something to consider. ‘There is no set rule, but {2} wve one by all means—he will know many ill welcome suggestions 24” to 30” is a good height if you plan to sit near the windows. ‘This allows space under the window for a radiator or a window seat or both. ting units Always try to place your he radiators, warm air registers, etc—under or near the windows wherever possibl that comes in contact with the gla Don’t forget that the lower part of any window admits light to a small portion of the room ne the window but the upper portion of the window lights the back of the room and therefore is equal or even more importance. ‘This is worth consideration when planning shades and draperie Remember that cross ventilation in a room always is desirable windows so there will be a sweep of air acr every room, If your room is in a corner of the building, even a small each of the two outside walls is better than one large window in ‘one wall and no ventilation whatever in the other.

They do not swell, shrink, split or splinter. They are tough, sturdy and stand up under hard 2—Admit More Light They admit more light. Compare a Fenestra ‘asement—sash and frame—with the ordinary type of Double Hung Window where the overall dimensions are the same and invariably you will find that the Fenestra Casement has a larger glass area, ‘This is because the stiles and rails of the ordinary window must be fairly wide to have the roquired strength while inherent strength of solid rolled steel and ean be made comparatively narrow stra sections have In addition to this, the usual type of Double Hung Window requires weights at the jambs tc -ounterbalance the weight of the sash and ‘eights must be enclosed in boxes which are always provided for in making up Double Hung frames, so that the actual area of glass per frame is much less than in Fenestra Casements which employ no weights, 3—Conserve Wall Space In modern construction, wall spac MENT ADVANTAGES Light area ofan ordinary Double Hung Window Light area of Fenestra Casement ata pre- in sufficient number to give good light will oc mium, In bedrooms, kitchenettes, closets and cupy so much wall space that little room is left for such rooms, there are areas where as much light furniture.

In some states, the build- ing codes determine a defin- ite ratio of glass area to floor area for every room in the house. Fenestra’s large area of glass helps tremen- dously in meeting, require- ments such as these. 4—Burglar Protective Fenestra Casements pro- vide burglar protection. ‘The 8" x 12" glass lights are not large enough to permit any intruder to enter by breaking a window and two Both have the eaFENESTRA WINDOWS SURPRISING VENTILATION FEATURES locks must be unlocked before the swing leaf can be opened from the outside 5—Fire Resistant Fenestra Casements are fire resistant. does not burn. panies often give lower rates on Steel Insurance com- breezes that blow perpendicularly or nearly per- pendicularly to the face of the sash.

Fenestra Casements are installed with a minimum of wood trim and may be installed without any, thus decreasing the fire hazard still further. 6—Ventilation Control Fenestra Casements provide better control of ventilation, be- cause their uniform free and easy operation in all seasons and in every kind of weather reduces to a minimum the amount of effort necessary to open and close the window, whereas the usual Double Hung Windows fre- quently stick and requi effort People who would sit in a draft or in an overheated room rather than tussle with a window that is hard to move, find that Fenestra Casements, operating almost at a finger's touch, are con- ducive to healthful temperatures. By using a little care and fore aa 8. ae f thought at the time the house is built, the designer can specify rat Fenestra Casements with exactly the amount of ventilating open- ing he desires for each room, He can secure, if he so desires, even 100% opening whereas the usual Double Hung Window never supplies more than 50% opening under any condition. But even more important from a ventilating standpoint is the fact that Fenestra Casements may be set to catch the breeze blowing from any one of three directions. Double Hung Windows admit only those Jarly but, if the swing leaves are open at an angle, they intercept and deflect into the room, even the breeze that blows parallel to the face of the window. (See sketch.) It is an astonishing fact not generally known, that even where single leafed Fenestra Casements re used the breezes from any one of four dire: ions may be admitted to any room that has cross ventilation, All that is necessary is to make sure {16}FENESTRA WINDOWS EASILY WASHED FROM INSIDE THE ROOM that the easements are so specified that when in stalled the hinge jambs will be toward the nearest outside corner of the building. Note how this works out as shown by the small sketeh, page 16, T—Eesy Oper Fenestra Casements never swell, shrink, warp or stick. Hence their operation is always uni- formly easy and trouble-free even though the windows may have been newly painted. 8—Weathertight ‘The swing leaves on Fenestra Casements meet the frame with a wide, flat overlap both outside ind inside. Swing leaf and frame are drawn tightly together in a flat, double contact by the cam action of the locking handle, ‘Thus is created ne of the best insulation and weather protective Easily and safely washed from inside mediums known to engineers—a trapped air space all around the swing leaf opening. Furthermore, all Fenestra Casements, properly installed, are set in a beading of mastic (supplied free). This mastic applied between the window frame and the building construction actually seals the window into the wall, guards against leakage or drafts around the edge of the opening. Insulation of this kind is almost impossible to secure with ordinary Double Hung Windows, due to the difficulty of sealing the eracks around the weight boxes which cannot be reached with mastic. ‘Tests conducted at the University of Operated without touching the sereen Michigan showed that a Fenestra Casement was more weathertight than a Wood Double Hung Window, weather-stripped. Washing stra Casements are easy to wash on the cutside from within the room. Extension hinges sowing the sash away from the frame as the ease- ent opens, leaving a 4*-wide opening at the Hinge jamb through which the window cleaner can extend her arm without diffieulty and reach the outside of every glass light without leaning far out or sitting backwards on the sill 10—Screened Casements Fenestra Screened Casements include, unless otherwise specified, steel framed, bronze mesh sreens. These fit flat against the inside of the casement frame on the inside unless the swing leaves open in, in which case the screens are outside.

(2) No broad, heavy, hori- zontal line is prominent at or near the center of the window as in the case of Double Hung Win- dows. (3) All glass in the Fenestra Casement is in the same plane, a feature impossible to secure in Double Hung Windows where one sash must, of necessity, slide past the other. 20—Glass is Inexpensive Small lights of glass are less expensive than large lights, whatever grade of glass is used.

Some people will tell you that stecl windows “gweat” more than ordinary windows because steel is an excellent conductor of heat, making the windows cold, ‘The truth is, glass is one of the best known conductors of heat and since the glass area window is considerable, the amount of heat loss through window frames and muntins, whatever the material used in their construction; is very slight indeed compared to the heat loss through the window glass. ‘The accompanying chart shows a test made at g pet g K Ld Tn vee seen = ap FB 10" 20 25 a0" 36" ac aS Boh OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE.

But “fogay windows” are not nearly so apt to be eaused by heat loss, as by the presence of too much moisture in the air inside the house. When warm, moist air contacts a cold surface, it may be cooled to the point where it cannot hold all the water it contains and therefore deposits some of it as “condensation.” the air, the quicker it deposits and air in an ordi- ‘The more moist, nary house usually is very moist due to humidi- fiers and water pans and to the fact that the air often is recirculated. Furthermore, there is no convenient device for measuring the water con- tent or reducing the amount. In cold weather, excessive moisture or frost on low panes is not uncommon in new houses where the plaster has not thoroughly dried out. Usually this condition corrects itself during the first winter, Similar conditions also are found occasionally where steam is escaping from radi- ators of where wet clothes are hung in the base- ment or where humidifiers are not correctly ad- justed. Too much water gets into the air just as it does when the bathroom mirror fogs over while you are taking a hot bath, Itis said that a teacupful of water, evaporated in a kitchen 10’ x 10’ x 9’ may increase the room’s humidity 30% An ideal house from the standpoint of heating would be one that was damp and airtight. An ideal house from the standpoint of condensation would be one that was dry and drafty. ‘The problem is to find a practical medium between these extremes. ‘The remedy for excess moisture is (1) get rid of the source. Drain water pans and humidifiers if necessary. (2) Change the air. Open doors or windows for a few moments and let in drier air from outside, ‘Air conditioning is arousing much popular terest but it cannot be perfectly applied in homes uunless the heat loss through the glass is con- trolled and humidity is measured and regulated.
