Origins
The first windows were holes in walls to let light through, but that is not really enough. window fitters amersham lets in the weather, heat and may allow unwanted visitors to enter! The first "windows" countered this by covering the holes with materials like animal hide, cloth or wood. Glass was developed to let light in while keeping out insects, heat and weather.

Modern windows are usually made of aluminium, which makes them extremely durable, long lasting and highly energy efficient. Aluminium is more resistant to warping, rotting, twisting and bending than timber. It can last for many years without needing to be treated or repainted.
The word "window" is directly derived from the Old English eagthyrl, or auga, which means eye-hole. In some languages, the direct connection to the eye is gone, but it still exists in others. The Latin term for window is fenestra which is used today in many countries.
Paper windows were common in the past in China and Korea however it wasn't until after the seventeenth century when glass became available to ordinary homeowners. Frames were made of timber up to the time of the invention, and windows were a bit small to fit the huge glass panes. These windows typically had air bubbles or distortions, which enhance the beauty of older structures. The advent of glass production that enabled larger and more streamlined panes have had a significant influence on the design of windows throughout the centuries.
