Combined window frames


Many of wooden houses that survived since the century before last are still rather appropriate for living. Yet is understandable why their window frames were tall and narrow – this was the only way to keep heat inside. In late one hundred and seventy-two hundred years, the height of the frame has remained the same, but their width changed a lot.  Those who own these houses today try to make the windows wider by installing two (instead of three) and three (instead of four-five) windows in a row. Ofcourse, their window frames are just disposed.

Yet in some houses, like this one from Ivanovo the owners used a unique structure of three window frames connected by one top and one plank under the windows and thus saved the window frames.
