In the world of construction and architecture, Fenestration plays an important role. Without openings in the buildings, it is just a close opaque box. Fenestration helps in bringing heat and light inside the building. And arrangement and design of windows and doors in the buildings is decided by architects and further, the shape and size is decided by the interior designers.

Thus, the progressive approach & innovation happening in the industry is pushing the designers & architects to create steadfast & untiring designs that aligns with the modern requirements of people & also safeguards the environment with eco-friendly practices.
With the amalgamation of technology & sustainability, the realm of Fenestration unlocks all the doors & windows for greener & smarter future!
Automated Curtains
Automated or Motorized curtains are advanced trend in Fenestration industry which can be controlled through the mobile applications, home automation systems & remote control to adjust the curtains. Nowadays, developers are offering curtains with programmable options including the closing & opening times according to the user preferences for enhancing the privacy & security.
Even few specified curtains equipped with soundproofing properties has been developed to eliminate & block the irritating noise from external elements to present a peaceful living space, particularly in ever-busy urban cities. They are coming up with high-end fabrics with contemporary functionalities such as self-cleaning & fire resistant capacities that enhances the hygiene & durability.
Skylights Skylights – Getting the outdoor in & suffuse the space with natural ray of ligh. Unlike the artificial lighting, these ingenious architectural components permits the natural radiance to enter the bounded spaces which sinks the occupants with outdoor rhythms. Today designers & architects are offering diverse trends in constructing Skylights to home-owners by blending the technology with sustainability.
In such a case, designers are offering Solar-powered emitting skylights, driven by solar panels plugged with home electrical ecosystem offering a remote control & smartphone app for users to regulate the natural air & light, which is perfect to construct in stairwells, kitchens & bathrooms. Similarly, Tubular skylights designed with lens fitted on the roofs presents most cost-effective way to invite the natural light into the room as they have larger reflective tunnel to attach in the ceiling. Tubular skylights are suggested to be ultimate for walk-in storerooms & way-halls.
For occupants seeking to create a ceiling with glass look, designers & architects offers Large-span skylights which can be build up to 10 feet & fill up to 35 square feet, but the only 0drawback is Large-span skylights only come up as fixed skylights.
“Sustainable fenestration in the Indian context is the one that allows indirect sunlight to the maximum and cuts direct radiation and thereby helps to maintain the inner temperature at desired levels”, - Prasana Kesavan, Director, Studio 7 Architects
Winding up this, the intersection of technology with sustainability in the landscape of fenestration fosters a crucial step forward to create more modernized & environmentally sustainable living spaces. By embracing the above mentioned smart technological practices, sustainable materials & energy-efficient designs while designing our home profoundly elevates the functional performances & aesthetic appeal with the touch of technology. Keeping all these things in mind, market of Fenestration seems very hopeful as it presents a pivotal stage for more energy-efficient, smarter & greener designing landscape.
