Our company has been on the market since 1991. This is only a small part of the history of windows. Today, we will try to look at our products in historical context.
The first windows
The first windows are considered to be any openings cut into walls. In the past, when many civilisations were located in warm regions, windows served only as a means of ventilation in a given building. Today, it is hard to imagine that instead of a window, our ancestors only had a primitive hole. Unfortunately, this was the case in the past. However, humanity has always focussed on development and replacing empty holes with something else. Filling window openings Humans are creatures who are constantly searching for better solutions throughout their lives. At some point in history, the idea arose to fill the holes with some kind of material for covering purposes. At that time, primitive panes of animal skin or fabric were used, or the holes were blocked with wood. In later times, wooden shutters were also used, which made it possible to open or close the windows. During their evolution, windows started to fulfil the function of not only a ventilator and main source of daylight, but also the main protection against atmospheric factors.
The golden era of windows
At a certain point, windows started to become an important element for people. People no longer focussed solely on the constructional function of windows but also on their aesthetic value. Windows started to be beautifully decorated works of art. Vertical and horizontal dividers were also installed to connect the glass – a new building material for window finishing.
Glass windows
Glass windows were already being used in ancient Rome. However, they did not become a permanent feature of architecture until around the 17th century. In Asian countries, glass was introduced somewhat later for economic reasons. This was due to economic reasons, and the panes themselves were replaced with paper windows. Today, glass, wooden or PVC windows are standard in practically every building. If you liked the above text, we invite you to visit our home page – PVC windows Poznań.
