23 viewsHere is another type of commonly used window, the grate window. These are the least expensive type of window but are very functional. They are made of glass plates and a metal frame. They do not weather or wear out and are have an opening and closing mechanism that works well with the window screen. The downside of these windows is they are hard to clean and some think not as pretty as wood or aluminum. They are very appropriate for the back of a house and the kitchen. (27-Jun-04)dozer

21 viewsHere is an aluminum window with a cement preformed border frame (which in this shot hasn't been painted yet). These frames are an attractive addition to aluminum windows. (20-Aug-04)dozer

20 viewsMost metal companies do screen doors. They will come and measure and install either a sliding or push to open door like this one. A double door like this would cost about 6,500 Baht installed. The metal pattern used will normally be the same pattern as the window security metal in the house. (23-Aug-04)dozer

18 viewsThis cabinet door shows how nails are used in framing doors. Notice the nails at regular intervals around the door, these are then used to anchor the cabinet (or door) frame to the wall. (13-May-04)dozer

18 viewsFor wood windows, one option to make for easy opening is a push/pull rod like this. These are not commonly sold, but can be bought at Homepro. Once the screen is installed an apparatus like this makes opening the windows very easy. The handle you see is a rod which connects to the window. It can be pushed to open the window and closed to shut the window without having to adjust the screen. (27-Jun-04)dozer

17 viewsA wood framed window. Notice that above and below the wood frame is a concrete row. For aluminum windows the setup is similar but there is no frame. The construction folks will create a frame of concrete all around the window prior to having the aluminum company come and measure. (28-Mar-04)dozer

17 viewsThis shows one way of framing a bathroom door. Since the frames are of lightweight plastic type material, a wood frame is used to support the weight of the cement which is poured on top. Without this support, the door frame will bend. (15-May-04)dozer
