1. Maximise available light - In order to guarantee maximum light isintroduced into the building interior, the finish at the head of thewindow must be horizontal and the finish at the sill must be vertical.
2. Optimise air circulation - Place radiators under the window ifpossible. This way, the heat will be fully utilised and condensationwill be prevented.
3. Position effectively - We recommend that the window is installed sothat the lower side of the frame is between 90 and 110 cm from thefloor, and the upper side between 200 cm and 205 cm from the floor.
