Travelling is a pleasure nowadays. All you have to do is get on a plane to be on the other side of the world in a few dozen hours. What once seemed impossible is now at our fingertips. It is truly a miracle of technology that we use very often.

Where did the disasters come from?

However, many people are afraid of flying. This is not surprising – after all, it is difficult to understand how a machine weighing several hundred tonnes not only does not fall, but moves forward at an alarming speed. We also hear about plane crashes every now and then – although the truth is that there are fewer of them, they are just very spectacular. However, there used to be many more, and the reason was… windows. Why does an aeroplane have round windows?

Nowadays, we all know that aeroplane windows are round. But do we know why? Well, back in the days when windows were square, there were many more plane crashes. It turned out that the pressure was concentrated there, which easily led to cracks and depressurisation of the cabin. During one of the tests, it turned out that up to 70 percent of the aircraft’s load was concentrated on the windows with sharp angles.

Like on an aeroplane

Many people who build their own houses want to be original and decide to have round windows. Poznań is a place where you can order such “portholes” and make some rooms – such as the attic – resemble the fuselage of an aeroplane. Poznań offers such and other types of windows in many places. You can order ship-like windows that will perfectly match the bathroom door, or you can choose traditional rectangular windows. Poznań has always had a large selection of windows due to the high demand for such products and the excellent reputation of Poznań companies that produce not only windows but also doors, both PVC and wooden. In addition to professional workmanship, they are also characterised by high durability.
