WINDOW OPTIONS

Skylight Options

All windows are vinyl clad insulated glass with Lowe-E. This is a coating applied to the glass that increases the insulation value. It is an effective means of keeping the yurt warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The U value of our windows is .34

Each yurt comes with both opening and picture windows, the number depending on the size of the yurt. The standard width for all windows is 3'6" and the standard window height is a mix of 3’0” and 3’6” tall.  Following are the windows you recieve with each 8' wall complete yurt kit. 9' walls the windows are 12 inches taller than the 8' wall windows. 10' walls the windows are 24" taller.

WINDOW CHANGES

You can change the height or style of any window or add more windows. Using the information below you can figure a ball park cost of any size/type of window change or addition. This is just a base to figure form because window prices do not change incrementally.

• Additional 3'6"x 3'0" picture windows are $250 each for 8’ walls;3'6x4'0 picture windows for 9' walls are $300 and 3'6x5'0 picture window for 10' walls is $350.
  

• For each additional 6” of height added to a window, add $25

• To change from a picture window to an opening window, add $50.

• Window Placement –  The standard height of windows from the top of the wall is 14”. You can change this for $20 per window. Window height changes are included in taller wall pricing.

Four things to consider when deciding on your windows:

1) Egress - In a room that would be called a bedroom you will need an opening "egress" window or a door to the outside. The opening for the window needs to be of a specific size to meet building code safety requirements.

This opening size can be accomplished  by a 3'0"x3'6" casement window - cranks outwards (the upcharge to change a regular opening window to this window is $275).

a 3'6x3'0 awning - cranks upwards (the upcharge for this window is $315 or

a 3'6"x4'6" single hung window, depending on your needs and/or circumstances.

2) Tempered glass is required for any window within 24" of a door or 18" from the floor. Tempered glass can be 30-60% more expensive than regular glass.

3) Operable vents may be required in some of the windows. These allow you to not poke holes in the walls for vents. They are generally required one for every 500 sq. ft of floor area or one per room. For specifics for your locale contact your local building dept.

 

4) Window placement in the walls. Height of lofts, kitchen counters, desks etc. all play a part in how high from the floor you will want your windows. Designing Your Space is designed to help you with these choices -
