3 of the Most Famous Windows in the World

Stunning, energy-efficient windows offer a wide range of benefits to your home. They bring much-needed sunshine into your living spaces, prevent cold drafts from penetrating your interiors and highlights architectural elements on your exterior with their beautiful designs and shapes. No wonder architects from around the world have used them to transform simple structures into remarkable ones.

For your next project, take inspiration from some of the world’s most famous windows. V. Nanfito Roofing and Siding, your trusted local window and siding contractor, shares three examples here:

• The South Rose Window in France – Located in the popular medieval church Notre-Dame de Paris, it is among the most known stained glass windows across the globe.

• Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China – The Whale Shark Exhibit tank at the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom holds the record for the biggest aquarium window in the world. With its 130 ft x 27 panels, spectators are able to witness thousands of majestic species of fish.
