3. Introduction • Doors and windows perform several functions. • They shield an opening from the elements. • Add decoration and expand visibility. • Emphasize the overall design. • Provide light and ventilation. • Planning is necessary to provide maximum design and function. 3

4. Interior and Exterior Doors • Several door classification systems are used to identify types of doors. • Two broad classes are interior and exterior doors. • Doors also may be grouped according to method of construction, uses, function, or location. • Doors are typically 6'-8" high and available in various widths. 4

5. Interior Doors • Common types of interior doors include: • Flush, panel, bi-fold, sliding, pocket, double-action, accordion, Dutch, and French. • Interior doors should be at least 32" wide for wheelchair passage. • Lever or pull-handles may be easier for a handicapped person. (continued) 5

(continued) 28

29. Sliding Windows • Four different sizes are usually given for each window • Basic unit size: Overall dimensions of the window. • Rough opening size: Dimensions of the framed space in the wall. • Sash opening: Outside dimensions of sash. • Glass size: Inside dimensions of the sash.
