FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Building
Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Due to an urgent need for providing a large number of low cost residential units to lower income groups of the
society, innovative techniques and new materials ofconstruction need to beused to reduce the cost of construction.
One such technique of construction is installation of doors and windows without frames. Cost of doors and
windows normally forms about 7percent of the total cost of a house, out of which frames account for about 1.5
to 2 percent of the total cost. Hence, installation of frameless doors and windows can bring some economy in
construction.
Such techniques involve some special fixtures which are easy to fabricate which could be done by local artisans
also.
Considerable assistance has been rendered in the formulation of this standard by the Central Buildings Research
Institute, Roorkee.
For the purpose of deciding whether aparticular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of atest oranalysis, shall be rounded off inaccordance with IS 2:1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained inthe rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
