1、Sill height

In general residential buildings, the height of the bay window is required to be not less than 0.9m, and protective measures should be taken when the height of the bay window is lower than 0.8m. In public buildings, the height of the bay window varies from 1.0 to 1.8m, and the height of the bottom surface of the window opening onto the public walkway should not be less than 2.0m.


2、Window height
In general residential buildings, the height of the window is 1.5m, plus the sill height of 0.9m, the top of the window from the floor surface 2.4m. The height of the window should be decided according to the requirements of light, ventilation, space image, etc., but we should pay attention to the rigidity of the window too high, if necessary, to add beams or "spell gates". In public buildings, the height of the whole piece of glass has exceeded 7.2m, which is no longer part of the general window range.

3、Width of windows
Window widths generally start at 0.6m, and according to the standard building cavity code, the width of a typical building cavity is 300mm, i.e. a typical width of 600mm, 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and so on. It should be noted that when a window opening is too wide, a vertical keel or 'spar' should be added, otherwise the rigidity of the window is likely to be a problem.

4、The height of the door
For people to pass the door, the height is generally not less than 2m, and then high to should not exceed 2.4m, otherwise there is a sense of hollow, door production also need to be particularly strengthened. Such as modelling, ventilation, lighting needs, can be added to the door waist window, its height from 0.4m, but also should not be too high.

For vehicles or equipment through the door, according to the specific situation to decide, its height should be higher than the vehicle or equipment 0.3 ~ 0.5m, so as to avoid the vehicle due to bumps or equipment need to pad roller handling when the collision door frame. As for the headroom requirements for all types of vehicle traffic, consult the corresponding specifications.
If it is a stadium, exhibition halls and other large volume, large space buildings, the need to set super-scale doors, can be added to the large doors on the regular size of the attached door, for the door does not need to open when people can pass.
Nowadays, there are quite a lot of inspection doors for various equipment tube wells in the building, which are not often passed through, so the general frame height and ordinary doors or lower, the lower side also leaves the same high threshold with the skirting, the net height does not have to be bound to 2m, about 1.5m can be.

5、The width of the door
General residential sub-door 0.9 ~ 1m, subroom door 0.8 ~ 0.9m, kitchen door 0.8m or so, bathroom door 0.7 ~ 0.8m, due to the consideration of modern furniture moving in, nowadays more than take the upper limit size.
The door width of public buildings is generally 1m for single doors, 1.2~1.8m for double doors, then the width should be considered for the production of doors, double doors or multiple doors with a door width of 0.6~1.0m is appropriate. Professional good article, as in the door industry vision.
Hotel guest room doorway width is generally ≥ 0.9m, bathroom doorway width ≥ 0.75m.
For the safety of the evacuation of the width of the peace door, according to calculations and specifications (relevant fire codes) set. The door of the pipe well for maintenance, the width is generally 0.6m. for motor vehicles or equipment through the door, in addition to its own width, each side also leaves only 0.3 ~ 0.5m gap.

6、Door and window maintenance
The dust on the doors and windows should be cleaned regularly to keep the doors and windows and the glass and hardware clean and shiny. If the doors and windows are contaminated with oil stains and other difficult to clean things, it is best not to use strong acid or strong alkali solution for cleaning, otherwise it is not only easy to make the surface finish of the profile damaged, but also will destroy the protective film and oxidation layer on the surface of the hardware and cause rust and corrosion of the hardware.
