FIREWORK THROUGH WINDOW

Hello, Window Enthusiasts and curious minds alike!

As the nights darken and the air turns crisp, we gear up for one of the most dazzling nights of the year – Bonfire Night!

At Andrew Wright Windows, we specialise in making homes warmer, safer, and cosier, drawing inspiration from the rich history of Bonfire Night. Let’s light up the night sky with some fiery facts and how our partnership with Andrew Wright Windows adds an extra layer of safety to your home:

Bonfires, Fireworks, and Family Fun:

GUY FAWKES
  • Bonfire Night evolved into a night of joy, marked by bonfires, dazzling fireworks, and laughter celebrating the failure of Guy Fawkes’s crazy attempts.
  • Picture your family gathered behind our crystal-clear windows, enjoying the spectacular view of the lit night sky.

Efficient Heating for Chilly Nights:

FMAILY WITH HOT COCOA INSIDE THEIR HOME WITH FIREWORKS IN BACKGROUND
  • Let’s talk about the chilly November nights, the need for woolly blankets, hot chocolate and possibly sticking the heating on for an hour or so if you are feeling brave.
  • Our double and triple glazing from Andrew Wright Windows is the perfect solution for keeping your home snug and cosy by holding that warmth inside.
  • Could you imagine anything better than getting to experience the beauty of the skies on bonfire night and knowing your heating bill hasn’t set through the roof like a firework?

A Safe Haven for Furry Friends:

DOGS

Halloween Stained Glass Window

The Ghostly Origins: Who Invented Windows?

 Blog , , ,

Boo, dear readers!

Welcome to a spine-tingling journey through the cobwebbed corridors of history to unravel the mysterious tale of who invented windows.

As Halloween’s moonlight dances upon our screens, let’s venture into the dimly lit past, where shadows whispered secrets and innovation lurked in the darkness.

Beware, for this story carries a ghostly twist, connecting ancient mysteries to the modern marvels you find at Andrew Wright Windows.

Chapter 1: The Enigmatic Inventor

Stone Age Peepholes
  • Let’s just get to the point straight away… I fear to inform you that the identity of the inventor remains shrouded in mystery. Although this does give rise to legends of mystical sorcerers and curious alchemists.
  • Stone Age Peepholes: Our ancestors craved natural light long before the internet too! The earliest versions of windows were mere holes in stone walls, allowing light (and perhaps a curious gaze) to penetrate their humble abodes.
  • Egyptian Lattice Artistry: Ancient Egyptians elevated window design by using intricate lattice patterns, allowing a breeze while keeping pesky sand out. Imagine a chic desert version of modern blinds!
  • In ancient Rome, openings were covered with translucent materials. This allowed in ethereal beams of moonlight which in a way, I guess we could call a window.

Chapter 2: The Medieval Hauntings

Halloween Stained Glass Window
  • Stained glass windows later emerged in the medieval period, casting kaleidoscopic hues across churches, castles, and cathedrals inspiring ghostly legends.
  • Have you ever noticed these stained glass windows at your local church or cathedral? Make sure to keep an eye out next time you pass by as they truly are spooktacular!
  • It was said that whispers of saints visiting through the stained glass were heard at midnight. This sent shivers down spines, creating eerie tales in centuries-old castles that we get to hear to this day.

Chapter 3: The Modern Spectres

Cats on Shutters
  • To combat both weather and nosy neighbours, shutters and slats soon became popular. Windows were not just for light; they were a defence against the elements and prying eyes, ensuring homes were as secure as a fortress during the spookiest of Halloween nights!
  • Moving on from this, Clear glass panes became standard, banishing the darkness that once haunted the hearts of humankind.
  • Double Glazing was introduced in the 20th century giving us energy efficient, noise-reducing windows allowing natural light to shine through.

Chapter 4: Andrew Wright Windows – Where History Meets Innovation

Ghosts in window
  • Our windows, like enchanted portals, allow light to flood your homes, keeping the spirits of the night at bay.
  • Expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials transform your home into a sanctuary, free from ghostly apparitions.
  • We bridge the gap between ancient mysteries and modern marvels, creating not just windows but gateways to timeless secrets.

Chapter 5: Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treaters
  • This Halloween, don’t hesitate to explore the spookiest corners of your neighbourhood, and be sure to knock on some Andrew Wright Doors!
  • Who knows what surprises await behind them? You might even catch a chilling glimpse of a ghoul lurking just beyond our windows. Embrace the thrill of the night and make your trick-or-treating adventure unforgettable with Andrew Wright– where every knock might lead to a hauntingly delightful surprise!
  • Explore our website further to discover the windows that can transform your home into a haven, warding off ghostly apparitions and inviting in the warmth of light and innovation.

Stay spooktacular and window-wise, brave souls and Happy Halloween! 🕷️🎃👻
