In the course of the Industrial Revolution, windows became a vital component of offices and factories buildings. They were designed to let in sunlight and improve worker productivity as well as safety and health.
Origins
It was not enough to simply have holes in the walls to let in light. It also allows in unwanted guests, as well as heat and weather. Early "windows" to stop this covered the holes with animal hides, cloth or even wooden. Glass was invented to let light to pass through while preventing insects, weather and heat.
Windows have evolved a lot over the years from simple holes in walls to lavish windows made of hardwood. The advancement of technology has changed the look of windows. This is the reason we have a wide range of window styles to choose from.
Modern windows are typically made of aluminium, which makes them strong durable, long-lasting and energy efficient. Aluminium is more resistant to rotting, warping, twisting and bending, than timber. It can last for years without having to be painted or treated.
The word "window" itself is derived directly from the Old English eagthyrl, or auga, which means eye-hole. In some languages the direct connection to the eye is not present however it is still present in other. The Latin word for window, fenestra is still in use in many countries.
Paper windows were common in the early days of China, Korea and Japan but it was only in the seventeenth century that glass became widely available for ordinary homes. Frames were made of timber until the 17th century, and windows were small to accommodate the larger glass panes. These windows typically included air bubbles or distortions, which contribute to the beauty of older structures. The invention of glass which allowed for larger and more flatter panes has had a significant influence on the designs of windows through the centuries.

In the period of industrial revolution, windows became an integral element of workplaces and factories. They let in light from the sun and improved productivity of workers and also safety. They also served as a great way to let air circulate. As time passed windows started to become oversized as demand increased for large glass areas. This created a challenge for architects, as it was difficult to support these huge sheets of glass. They eventually started using smaller pieces of translucent materials like flattened horns from animals and thin slices of marble, placed in lead or iron frames.
