Window designs that blend in with nature. The appeal of wooden sashes, perfect for a villa in Karuizawa.
Windows have a major impact on the comfort and design of a home. In a place like Karuizawa, where you can feel the changing seasons, the performance and design of windows can greatly change the quality of life. At it's House, we are particular about not only insulation and airtightness, but also ease of living and design, and we use European-style wooden sashes. Here we introduce two types of windows that combine functionality and beauty.
"Drakekip" combines functionality and ease of use
High insulation is achieved with wooden sash and triple glazing. European-style wooden sashes add a warmth and design that aluminum lacks. Combined with triple glazing, they offer superior insulation. "Drake-Kip" windows, derived from the German words "draen" (to turn) and "kipple" (to tilt), can be opened in two ways with a single handle: "inward opening" or "inward tilt." This makes cleaning the exterior easy, and opening only the top for ventilation provides security. Furthermore, unlike aluminum sashes, they are installed flush with the interior wall, creating a sense of depth in the window frame when viewed from the outside, enhancing the overall architectural design.
"Hebeseebe" suitable for large windows
"Hebe-Siebe" is a large-opening sash that connects you to Karuizawa's rich nature. With no central frame (mullion), it offers an expansive view, allowing you to feel one with nature while indoors. Derived from the German words "hebe" (to rise) and "siebe" (to pull), this window employs special hardware that allows even heavy glass doors to open and close easily and smoothly. The tight fit between the sash and frame, combined with triple glazing, achieves excellent airtightness and insulation. Windows not only let in light and breezes, but also play an important role in shaping a comfortable indoor environment and exterior design. it's House's wooden sashes combine performance and design to make everyday life richer and more comfortable.
Windows are not simply "tools that open and close," but are important elements that affect the comfort and design of a home.
