Clerestory Windows:

(i) If the rooms in a building are of different ceiling heights, clerestory windows are provided for the room which has greater ceiling height than the other rooms. The shutters are able to swing with the help of a cord over pulleys. These also enhance the beauty of buildings.

Lantern Windows:

(i) Lantern windows are provided for over the flat roofs. The main purpose of this window is to provide more light and air circulation to the interior rooms. Generally, they are projected from the roof surface so, we can close the roof surface when we required.

Bay windows:

(i) Bay windows are projected windows from walls which are provided to increase the area of the opening, which enables more ventilation and light from outside. The projection of bay windows is of different shapes. It may be triangular or rectangular or polygonal etc. They give a beautiful appearance to the structure.

corner window:
