While we all enjoy rain and it spells good news for nature as well, it is not so much fun
when the rain enters into your home. Rain water seepage can cause more damage and prove
more costly than you think.
Aside from the obvious cost of repairs, which can escalate if the water seepage source
isn't found and repaired, there's also the cost to your family's health from infections
and respiratory ailments stemming from molds and bacteria formation.
The same problem gets accentuated with traditional wooden windows and doors as they warp
and resulting gaps invite rain inside the house. Rainwater accumulates in the tracks and
spills inside even if aluminium windows and doors are not installed properly.
Wind speeds in India are much higher than those of other parts of the world. Along the
coast, in the eastern and the western parts of the country, wind speeds touch as high as
250 kmph, the equivalent of 3100 Pascal wind loads.
It gets worse in high-rise buildings. What appears to be a mild breeze on the ground
floor becomes a gale force in the upper floors of a tall building. In these conditions,
conventional windows and doors rattle and whistle.
In order to protect your home from such hurricanes and cyclones, SI Windows engineers have
come up with innovative solutions that provide strong protection ensuring no rattling
frames and no whistling sounds while increasing the safety and security of the home.
Gone are the days when windows and doors in houses were only meant to provide natural
light and fresh air or easy access into rooms. Today, doors and windows have become
essential components for energy efficiency in building construction.
According to Energy Star (USA), fenestration accounts for 25-50% of energy loss in a
building. However, this problem can be minimized by improving the energy efficiency and
performance of windows and doors. In fact, using energy-efficient windows and doors can
reduce energy bills by almost 7%-15%.
At SI Windows, the importance of reducing the ever-increasing energy expenses is
understood. That's why SI Windows has incorporated energy-saving features like airtight
sealing and double/triple insulation into its products, which minimize the cost of
heating and cooling your home without sacrificing aesthetics.
SI Windows windows and doors require minimal maintenance. They are termite resistant, dust resistant, and do not warp. These doors are weather proof, storm resistant, provide insulation against rainwater and do not get affected by heat or sunlight. They do not corrode and maintain their shape.
They will stay as good as new and look aesthetically pleasing for years to come. Routine cleaning to remove dirt and dust from the surface and channels is all that is required, as these doors and windows are designed for lifelong performance.
Often, windows and doors are kept closed day and night for fear of insects and mosquitoes. However, closed windows and doors block the much needed fresh air and sunlight.
To address this issue, SI Windows offers insect mesh in various designs and colours, which allow for ventilation and sunlight while keeping insects and other pests out.
Homes in India are troubled by dust all-round the year. The wind brings with it dust from construction sites, industries, stone quarries, pollen, vehicular traffic and even the occasional dust storms.
This can cause a lot of trouble for homeowners, as dust accumulates on curtains, upholstery, carpets, and can affect one's health, leading to chronic illnesses like asthma. Today, even small childen are getting affected by it. Your fight against dust is a losing battle. You wipe your living room clean only to see a film of dust settle on furniture and the floor within minutes. Or you return from a vacation to a home laden with dust. The only way to keep dust out is to prevent it from entering the house in the first place. Unfortunately, old windows and doors often have cracks that allow dust to enter inside your home.
By switching to SI Windows, this problem is greatly reduced, much like in modern cars. SI Windows windows and doors have features that prevent dust from entering your home, ensuring a dust-free environment.
Security is a major issue in both villas and low rise buildings in virtually every city in India and an open window or a door is an easy entry point for any burglar.
To keep the windows and doors open for fresh air but at the same time be assured of the security of our homes is a desire deeply nourished by many Indians. At SI Windows, we understand this need and therefore our products come with an option of grills.
Most of us would agree that homes with large windows and doors have a certain appeal to them. They make the homes look more desirable and grand.
In fact, large windows perform a brilliant job of - letting sunlight into homes, providing visual access to outdoors, allowing in fresh air and helping air circulation - the very reason that led to invention of windows in the first place.
Having said that, take a look at your old windows and doors. Traditional wooden windows (and doors with glass) require cross members to support their frames due to their lack of inherent strength and thus hinder both the view and the sunlight.
Well-made, well-specified and carefully designed to enhance the value of your home, SI Windows windows and doors improve the facade and indoor aesthetics, add elements of architectural style and alter the character of bedrooms, the living room, the dining room, the study and even the kitchen and bathrooms. They are stylish, elegant looking, smooth to touch and effortless to operate.

Windows and doors are usually the weakest point of sound insulation in the home and the
problem gets worse with traditional windows or doors which have gaps even when closed.
The gaps - a result of flaws in design, construction or installation - allow easy
passage for noise to just barge in and destroy the tranquillity of a home.
Not so with SI Windows windows and doors, which when closed block out the outside
disturbances, creating a comfortable environment to concentrate, enable a peaceful
night's sleep, relax and enhance your quality of life. Below are the features that help
