Sliding Windows

The sliding window is made up of two (or more) sashes that slide horizontally, to the left or right, on tracks. The sliding window can be made wider and taller with the addition of sashes. The sliders work on a 'ride over' mechanism. Result: The track on which the sash slides is raised slightly above the ground, preventing dust from settling in the track. The dust-free track ensures a far smoother sliding motion when compared to conventional sliders. Fenesta offers two ranges of sliding windows; Series 1500 and Series 3000 depending on the size, wind loads, insulation and design requirements.

Casement Windows

The casement window opens inwards or outwards with the help of a sash that is fixed on outer frame. The design can vary from fixed, side hung or top hung. Fenesta offers two ranges; Series - 1500 and Series - 3000 depending on size, windload, insulation and design requirements.

Bay Windows and Combination Windows

Bay windows and Combinations windows are available in different sizes and designs for your homes and offices. We can easily install bay window in your large rooms. Fenesta bay windows used to increase the flow of natural lights into your building room as well as provide great views of the outside that would be unavailable with an ordinary window. Windows are available in different sizes and designs. You can choose bay window and combination windows by different Style and Glasses also. Combination window is an integration of two windows of the same type (like casement-casement) or different types (casement-slider or fixed-slider).

Tilt and Turn Windows

Tilts at an angle from the top or opens like a casement sideways. The tilt position is for ventilation. Both operations take place with a single handle.

French Windows and French Doors

French windows - casement windows with one or more sashes. Typically they refer to big windows that can also serve as doors. Fenesta is ideally suited to make French windows. The strength of Fenesta enables it to make large sized windows that can stretch from floor to ceiling or cover the entire span of balconies. This ensures that users get excellent view of the outside without getting any noise in. French windows and doors also give maximum sunlight and ventilation since there are two sashes instead of one. When open, they give an enhanced feeling of openness. As with all of our products, French doors are complete with all hardware and paint. This really makes a French door stand out in any home. French doors are custom-sized and can fit any opening. Though they typically lead to the exterior of the home into a balcony, we also offer them for bedroom doors often. French windows with Flying mullion Fenesta offers a one of its kind option of flying mullions for french windows in Series 1500. The “flying” mullion is a special hardware feature that allows the mullion (vertical fixed portion in window frame between the two sashes) top open along with the sashes.

How to select glass for your windows?

Glass Type	Advantages	Limitations
Float Glass
Derives its name from the name of its manufacturing process, the float process. In this process, a sheet of glass is passed repeatedly on a bed of molten tin. This process gives uniform thickness and a bright surface to the glass	Gives high visibility and clarity Can be further fabricated into other forms of glass like reflective, tinted, toughened etc.	Does not offer enhancedfeatures like insulation protection etc Vulnerable to break ins.
Double Glass Unit
The insulated Glass unit is a set of 2 layers of glass with an aluminium spacer in between. Sealed to form a single unit with an air gap between the two glasses. Space between glasses is filled with dry air, which improves insulation.	Improved insulation reduces air conditioning/heating bills Improves sound insulation significantly, reducing road and aircraft noise Slender frames fit perfectly well with the look of the windows. Increases security	In case of breakage, entire Double glazed unit has to be replaced. In rare cases, a fault may develop in the unit, leading to condensation.
Reflective Glass
The metallic coating on top of the float glass reduces the impact of radiation. The special metallic coating also produces a mirror effect preventing a person from seeing through the glass.	Reduces the impact of light and heat radiation from the sun. Enhances the effectiveness of air conditioners. Ideal for rooms exposed to the sun. View from outside is blocked during the day. The view from inside is clear	After dark, view from outside becomes clear. Windows may require blinds at night.
Thoughened Glass
Produced by applying a special treatment to ordinary float glass. The treatment involves heating the glass to very high temperatures (about 620 degrees C) so that it begins to soften; and then cooling it rapidly.	Upto 4-5 times stronger than normal float glass. Provides enhanced security to windows.	The glass cannot be re worked once thoughened. Glass likely to get damaged
Laminate glass
Laminated Glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together by a tough.durable plastic Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayer(s). When broken by impact, it tends to remain fixed in its frame, minimizing the risk of injury from sharp edges. Thickness and number of PVB layers can be increased, if requred.	Highly secure. Offers greater personal safety after breakages as it remains in the frame despite a strong impact Improves sound insulation due to the sound-damping capabilities of the PVB interlayer
