Parallel Opening Windows

A Parallel opening window not only offers an aesthetic option to architects as it maintains the vertical sightlines of the building, but also provides a highly efficient method of ventilating an area within the structure. This design of vent offers double the air flow of a traditional top hung window with its utilisation of both high and low ventilation zones. Increased air flow around the full perimeter of the window facilitates highly efficient natural ventilation while greatly reducing draughts. Fresh air is drawn in via the bottom of the parallel opening window while warm, stale air is expelled via the top of the window creating full circulation of air within the room.
