Source DescriptionA jalousie windows is a double window, generally made of glass, wood, or acrylic louvers set inside a wooden frame. The louvers are attached to a roller mechanism so they can be tilted up and closed in unison for control of air, commonly by pulling a cord. Unlike other types of French windows, jalousie windows have no internal frames, and instead their outside frames hold the louvers. Because of this they have a more contemporary look than many other styles of French windows. This article will briefly WDMA discuss the history of the use of these windows.
For centuries, the window was used as both a way to let people in and to keep homes private. Many wealthy families would have separate homes with mansions containing private doors. These windows were also used as part of a wall, often creating an interior courtyard or foyer. In order to gain access to the upper floors of the buildings, the peasants would break down the walls using ladders and then climb up the ladders to gain access. Today, the same type of system is still used in some parts of the world, but the modern type of system still works the same way.
The first type of jalousie windows was created during the period when the Medici family lived in the Palais des Beaux-arts in Venice. Because the windows had no internal frames, the entire unit was designed to swing open on hinges. Because they could be used in conjunction with the stairway door, the design of the jalousie was very functional, allowing the family quick and easy access to their homes. Because they had glass, the windows also allowed light to enter the home, greatly improving the home's interior during the day. This style has remained popular throughout the years.
One of the most popular styles of this time was a type of window known as the "sillaire", which is French for "windshield". This window style consists of a flat panel made of glass that is supported by metal brackets. In some instances, these brackets are supported by stone, which made them even more attractive and practical as a home window.
Another popular type of jalousie was a row of windows known as the tournament. These windows are very similar to the sills except that they have wind vents in place of brackets. Some examples of these windows include a row of windows that have large louvers, a row of windows that have solid panels, and one that contain none at all. Each of these styles became increasingly popular in the 18th century.
A popular style of this time was made from metal instead of glass. Metal windows have come a long way since their inception. One example of this type includes a design that features four slats that are curved instead of being straight. They allow the room to open fully, while providing a decorative frame for decorations or books. The colors available in the metal windows of this era were limited, but they are still available and look just as beautiful.
One final style is one that is commonly referred to as a casement window. These windows are the opposite of the jalousie in that they are smaller in size. They were originally used to allow the person who held the window to be able to open it while another person was outside, but they quickly found other uses for them as well. For instance, some people used them to enter a house without being seen. However, they were also used frequently as a way of providing ventilation when it was raining or snowing outside.
Today, we can enjoy all of the benefits of these popular styles of windows. While they are typically used in older homes, they are often found in newer construction and in newer homes as well. Many people have them because they are attractive, easy to clean and provide a certain amount of natural light when used properly. They are a great addition to any home and can be quite affordable as well.
