DOORS AND WINDOWS
• WHAT IS DOOR OPENING
Door openings are either rectangular
or arched. Sidelights and transoms
are decorative glass panels that
frame the opening, located on either
or both sides of, and above the door.
The transom panel above the door
can have three distinct shapes,
including an arch, ellipse, or box.
• WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
WINDOWS
Window, opening in the wall of a
building for the admission of light
and air; windows are often arranged
also for the purposes of architectural
decoration. Since early times, the
openings have been filled with stone,
wooden, or iron grilles or lights
(panes) of glass or other translucent
materials such as mica or, in the Far
East, paper.
