Features: Doors and windows are important components of building envelopes. They not only serve functions such as entry, ventilation, and lighting but also have a significant impact on the interior and exterior decoration and aesthetics of buildings. Therefore, in modern architecture, the materials, designs, and colors of doors and windows have become increasingly important. Additionally, it should be emphasized that with the continuous improvement of building energy efficiency standards, the energy-saving requirements for doors and windows, which account for approximately 1/4 of the total building area, have become increasingly prominent. For some doors and windows, considerations for fireproofing, sound insulation, and security are also necessary. Thus, the door and window engineering plays a pivotal role in modern buildings. This book focuses on introducing aluminum alloy doors and windows, colored galvanized steel plates, and plastic doors and windows, as well as various doors and windows with special functions. Furthermore, to meet the needs of modern architecture for decorative functions, it also introduces the various designs and structures of decorative wooden doors and windows with Chinese classical, Western classical, and modern styles, facilitating readers' selection and reference.
