single row window Explanation: The problem is, that window types are different in US/UK and in Poland. That's why your dictionary is so unhelpful. In English I found the following types of windows: CASEMENT WINDOWS SLIDING WINDOWS AWNING WINDOWS TILT & TURN WINDOWS PICTURE WINDOWS These are totally different than Polish system of window classification. I suggest the following equivalents: OKNO JEDNORZĘDOWE = SINGLE ROW WINDOW OKNO DWURZĘDOWE = DOUBLE ROW WINDOW OKNO JEDNODZIELNE = SINGLE SASH WINDOW OKNO DWUDZIELNE = DOUBLE SASH WINDOW SKRZYDŁO ROZWIERNE = CASEMENT SASH casement = a window frame that is hinged on one side SKRZYDŁO UCHYLNE = AWNING SASH SKRZYDŁO UCHYLNO-ROZWIERNE = TILT & TURN SASH You may go to the following sites to learn more about the windows: http://www.interframe.co.uk/ http://www.diamondwindows.com/archive/rehau-pt.htm http://www.cwg-uk.com/prod_cas_pics.htm http://www.cwg-uk.com/prod_tiltturn_pics.htm http://www.avalonwindows.com/ Hope that it helps you out, Piotr. www resources experience building own house |
