NARROW STILES*this 'original' sash width allows more glass and a
morecontemporary look*not all manufactures still produce this older
standard
PANEL SIZES*these are the 3 most standard panel widths and
heights*door offerings become a multiple of the basic panel
size*the slider, by design, has an overlap, so the indvidual
panelsare wider by a bit to result in simple total unit
widths*sliders require no inside or outside space
whenopening/opened which is often a great design asset.*sliders
tend to be a little heavy/hard to operate
MULTI PANEL SLIDING STACKING*panels slide by each other and
stack*net result is a larger opening*screening difficult. this type
of door may workbetter opening onto a screen porch.*consider if a
really big opening is required.*heavy based on # of panels, and
pricey.
MULTI PANEL FOLDING STACKING*bifold hinge design in series-*net
result is a wide opening- up to 20'*panels can fold in one or both
directions*custom construction and pricing
BIPART 4 PANEL SLIDING UNITS*2 center panels slide out resulting
in a wideropening*sliding screens also bipart from the center*this
format offers a big opening, a lot of glass,and simple screens.
tends to be a great value andtypically employed this project over
multistacking/folding design format
3 PANEL GLASS SLIDER*created by mulling a single frame unit to a
double slider*these width dimensions are nominal. check
manufacturersspecs*pick the direction for the sliding panel*
drawings typically will show a 3 panel unit. functionalleaf as
selected
2 PANEL GLASS SLIDER*3 widths based on the 3 basic panel
widths*the fixed panel, or inactive panel does not slide*exterior
mounted sliding screen is typical, slides from the fixedpanel side
to the active panel side when the active panel isopen.
"FRENCH" STILES*wider more substantial sash stiles and
rail.*comfortable with most transitional and traditional home
designs*has become a design/construction standard at least for
woodbased door constructions
OPERABLE FLEXIBILITY*any panel can be operable or fixed*any
panel can swing in or swing out*most any combination is possible.
if units areindependent with stud pockets then truely
anycombination is possible with as many units as will
fit.*(narrower) sidelight units can be added as well tofill/fit
wall dimension potential.
SIDELIGHT PANEL SIZES*these sizes likely vary*conforming
transoms options per manufacturer.*options too varied to include by
illustration*between sidelight and transoms any wall will permit
asound doorscape design to fit.
OPERATIONAL PANEL SIZES*these 3 sizes, excepting fractional
differencesare the primary/typical unit sizes.*the 7'-3" ht is not
so ytypicl but a geat scale ina 9' high nominal wall*some
manufacturers also offer 9' and 10' hts,and widths greater than
3'
STANDARD 2 PANEL OPERATION OPTIONS*common 2 panel configurations
below*any panel can swing in or swing out.*outswing doors will not
get in the way of any interior condition/furniture. but mightget in
the way of exterior deck or patio furniture*outswing doors are more
problematic fit for screens. inswing are easier.*some prefer
outswing doors in high wind conditions as (push) pressure tightens
door.

GB_Glass Block or Acrylic Block*glass block is the generic
reference. real glass block is an option.acrylic block is a more
economical and flexible option*window sizes based on 6" or 8"block

vertically.*example 8-8" block wide=64"+2" for frame, 2-8" block
high=16"+2"for frame. unit size is 66"x18"h or 5'-6"x1'-6".*also
available in operable units. see hy-lite.com
DOULE HUNG VARIATIONS*the 'cottage style' is assymetrical with
shorter sashon top. this proportion offers a subtle interest
andlooks great when mulled 2 or 3 across.*arch and arc heads also
are interesting but havetrouble integrating with other windows so
oneneeds to be careful where thay are placed.(ditto)
CASEMENT VARIATIONS*these single and twin operating casements
witharc heads are interesting but have troubleintegrating so one
needs to be careful where theyare placed (ditto).*this arc head
windows need to be seen in contextwith an entire elevation to guage
suitability.
MULTI*small rectangular units adjacent to each other in groups,
shapes, vertical or horizontal runs.*these can be comprised of
casement, awning, or fixed 'direct set' units.*when properly
inegrated in a design these can be very effective
BAY AND BOW*3 traditional geometries for 'projected' windows
which can be factory manufatured or field built.*casement, fixed,
and double hung units are available for incorporation.*small roofs
or tucking the projection under a cantilever floor or house roof
are options.*these can be exterior features. perhaps more important
is how a projected window can open and make moreinteresting the
space from the inside.

thatslots into the rails and stiles.*initially the raised panel
format was necessary fora door assembly that could harmlessly move
andshift a little, anf this has been handed down as adesign staple
of traditional designs.
MOULDED PANEL*a projected moulding connects the panel to therail
and stile. the moulding may be simple (as inthe 3d image) or
complex and deep.*a rich, elaborate door can be created not
possiblewith the other panel types.
FLAT PANEL*the flat panel is flat with square edge meeting
railsand stiles. simple look.*aka shaker, mission, arts+crafts,

DOOR AND WINDOW ASSEMBLIES*there are almost endless
opportunities in creating door and window assemblies tomeet design
problems and desires. there is always a way to accomplish these
designgoals. better solutions may be with factory mulling, or field
mulling, or acombination of both.*one general rule of thumb may be
that smaller assemblies are a little more costeffective when
factory mulled. one wants to check with both manufacturer
andinstalling contractor.*larger assemblies do require a delivery,
installation, and structural analysis. thestructural viabilty
examining gravity and wind loads does want to be considered
insitu.
FACTORY MULLING*a single unit comprised of (2) casements and (2)
transoms.frames are joined back to back in both the veritcal
andhorizontal.
REQUIRED CEILING HEIGHT FOR TRANSOMS*8' ceilings do not readily
support transoms. door and windoeheads can be pushed to nominal 7'
for a taller door and moreglass.*9' ceilings will support standard
transoms.*10' ceilings (not typical this project) allow a lot more
transomoptions.*illustrations show typical header construction.
other optionsexist to enable raising door and window heads closer
to theceiling.
HEADER+WALL PLATES
FIELD MULLING*this assembly is effectively broken into 4
independent "non structural' units*gravity loads are halved.
headers spans are halved.*wind pressures are reduced as areas are
reduced.
FACTORY MULLING*the window assenbly is one "non structural'
unit. the*gravity load from the structure above must be managed by
the header spanningacross the width of the entire assembly.*the
entire assembly is subject to wind pressure. the larger area causes
a larger load.the assemly itself must be able to resist the load.
window manufacturers will haveemgineered most standard assemblies
and offer a DP (design pressure) rating.
NOTE*this illustration does not/cannot consider the bigger
(structural) picture. accept thisas a principle to consider.
FACTORY+FIELD MULLING*FACTORY_UNIT FRAMES ARE FIXED TO UNIT

SERIOUS (real) WOOD*a few options exist for sophisticated and
expensive solid non rot woodwindows. Teak and mahogany may be used
along with the best of glassoptions, hardware, and air infiltration
prevention.

windows. the factory paintoptions offera huge range of colors and
serious warranties.
EXTRUDED ALUMINUM*a less expensive and serviceable non rot/low
maintenance option.anodized colors options
EXTRUDED FIBERGLASS*tough, strong construction. Marvin Integrity

WOOD*these windows likely comprised of soft woods, composte
woods, pvccomposites, rigid foam, and specifially designed metal
extrusions
*the available colors in the alum and vinyl claded windows are
decent. thecolor selections in the factory painted options are more
than needed. apermanent exterior finish is recognizable a major
component of themaintenance limited construction. replacing rotten
windows is to beavoided. smart money does not
INSULATED GLAZING*give a heary thanks to code required energy
standards thathave all manufacturers complying and therefore
insuring thatany window on the market will be a decent energy

designs usualy employed for privacy, for examplein entry areas or
bathrooms, may be available as an integralpart of the insulated
