3 BHK
Window Design for a 3 BHK
In a 3 bhk of 1,100-1,500 sq ft, the window typically works to 6×6 feet. Windows decide how a room feels at 4pm. We work on the glazing, the treatment and the reveal together — a good curtain cannot rescue a bad opening.

Planning note
Window at 3 bhk scale
At 1,100-1,500 sq ft, the constraint on a window is usually circulation rather than storage — there is enough wall to plan the volume in, but not enough floor to plan around a mistake. 6×6 feet is the dimension we hold to because it is the largest the room comfortably allows, not the largest that would fit on paper.
The most common planning mistake at this size is drawing the window first and fitting the circulation around what is left over, rather than the other way round.
A door reads best when its frame is either flush with the wall plane or expressed deliberately. The half-hearted 12mm architrave is what makes joinery look builder-grade.
Floor clearance should be set for the finished floor plus any rug. Doors planed on site after flooring never look right at the bottom edge.
Pivot doors need a structural head and a level floor. Both are civil decisions taken long before the door is ordered.
Where a door leads to a bathroom, undercut it for return air or the exhaust fan will not move anything.
For acoustic performance, the seal and the frame do the work, not the leaf thickness alone.
What moves the estimate at this size
- Leaf construction and species of the face.
- Glazing specification — double glazing and low-E coatings are the biggest single variable.
- Hardware, which on a pivot or a sliding system can exceed the leaf cost.
- Frame material and whether a sub-frame is used.
- Site measurement and any civil correction to the opening.
Questions
Window questions
What is the best window treatment for a west-facing room?
An external shading layer — a jaali shutter, a louvre or a deep reveal — plus low-E glazing. Internal curtains stop the glare but the heat is already inside by then.
Should curtains be hung at the ceiling or the window head?
At the ceiling, or at the cove line. It adds apparent height and lets the full glass area work when the curtain is open.
Are uPVC or aluminium frames better?
uPVC insulates better and costs less; slim aluminium gives you a much finer sightline and more glass. In humid coastal cities specify a marine-grade powder coat either way.
How do I keep dust out?
Good gaskets and a well-sealed reveal do most of it. Sliding windows leak more than casements; if dust is a serious problem, casement or tilt-and-turn is the better choice.
