Selecting the right window

Why do we often hear that choosing the right window is a difficult decision!
The product is Complex – Window has many moving parts. It must have high strength and long life, with excellent sealing against water, noise & dust. Manufacturing and Installation is an even more complex process – The window size has to be measured before production & each window becomes an independent project. The complexity grows multi-fold as building height increases – Biggest challenges are wind load and protection from horizontal rain.
Here is a comparison of Different Window Materials and their suitability for modern buildings.
