The Home Owner's Blue Book of Fenestra Bonderized Steel Casement Windows
This publication is a home construction and design guide focused on Fenestra steel casement windows. The catalog features technical information about window selection, placement, and design principles for residential construction. It includes detailed architectural photography of completed homes showcasing various window installations, with credits to homeowners and architects throughout the United States. Content covers practical considerations such as window proportions, sill heights, cross-ventilation, and furniture placement. The guide distinguishes between double-hung and casement window types, explaining their operational differences. The primary promotional content emphasizes Fenestra's manufacturing advantages: the Bonderizing rust-protection process (with comparative salt-spray test photographs), steel construction benefits including superior light transmission, space efficiency, and fire resistance. Additional sections address window drapery treatments and ventilation control mechanisms. Technical specifications and architectural applications are illustrated throughout with photographs and sketches.
