France is a large and beautiful country. The architectural monuments represent every era in the country’s history, hence the window joinery of France varies from region to region. A characteristic feature of living spaces in France is their great height which influences the appearance and proportions of the window.

French window: slender, with narrow frames to allow as much light as possible into the room. The tall window sashes are usually divided by delicate muntins, which harmonise perfectly with the architecture of the building.
Characteristic is also the widening at the bottom of the frame – the so-called window sill, which is connected to the drip cap or outer sill. The whole is completed with a drip cap placed on the sash, together creating the unique character of French window.
