It goes round - not only in the gable
Every one of us has seen round windows in dormers or gables. But that does not mean that round windows can only be used in the attic area. In other rooms, such as bathrooms, corridors, guest rooms or as a supplement to rectangular window shapes, you can also install this elegant window variant. Round windows let in more light in the first place and therefore considerably increase the comfort of living.
Normally, you have the option of configuring your round window exactly to your requirements and needs. Round windows made of plastic, aluminum or wood are usually made to measure on the market, from a minimum diameter of 75 cm. Also such extras as decorative foils or safety glass are to be had with most round windows - also like with the "normal" windows.
Round windows - much more than a decorative element
Most circular windows are permanently glazed plastic windows, with or without opening mechanism. The models with a fixed glazing are therefore designed as a style window, convey a pleasant atmosphere and are a great eye-catcher. Round windows with opening function, however, allow easy window cleaning and optimal air exchange. You can choose between windows with a casement or a double window that you can comfortably:
Round window installation is best left to the professional
A professional assembly of circular windows already requires a certain amount of craftsmanship. For this reason, we recommend that you only rely on experienced window manufacturers in this area. Even the opening in the house facade is not easy, because the rectangular stones, from which houses are built, can cause problems even in the preparation of the recess. In addition, there are no sides like the bottom and top of the round windows, so they can be mounted in any direction. That's why the professionals always make sure that the window handle is in the right position and can then be opened as desired.
