polski term

okno jednorzedowe, etc

polski > angielski Technika/inżynieria
I have a few questions about windows (not M$ Windows, btw). I am
translating from Polish into English and I am grappling with the
following terms:

* okno jednorzedowe
* okno dwurzedowe
* okno jednodzielne
* okno dwudzielne
* skrzydlo uchylne
* skrzydlo rozwierane
* skrzydlo uchylno-rozwierane

Your help will be appreciated indeed, as the Polish-English Dict.
of Science and Technology is rather reticent about them.
A link to a web site that covers these will also be very helpful.

Thanks

Piotr

single row window

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:

Hope that it helps you out, Piotr.
