The technological development has significantly expanded the use of windows or various designs and sizes in wooden houses and log buildings nowadays. For example, in the past windows used to be small, because they were the main cause of heat loss, while glass was not even glass - it was made from a bovine bladder. Nowadays you can install multi-pane insulated glass windows that allow minimal heat loss, and create large panoramic windows in a house, even in wooden one. All you need is choose a window design.
A window is not only glass, but also a frame and a way, in which it is installed in a house, with or without notches. There are also many ways to decorate window openings outside the house. It can be traditional platbands or carved platbands with intricate patterns. There are a lot of stories about platbands around the world. In some countries platbands and window openings attract a lot of attention. They are painted certain colours in view of an existing belief that a particular colour wards off evil spirits. In some countries platbands were decorated with protective ornaments.
