\"\"<\/a>Seems yurt manufacturers have been surveying customer comments. Good thing, as that\u2019s how progressive changes occurred at the Colorado Yurt Company<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. They recently added a new design because customers relayed their preference to open their windows from inside.<\/p>\n

This is good news for yurt dwellers without an exterior walking deck and with a raised platform. For those, it\u2019s go outside with your ladder.<\/p>\n

Fully Operable Windows<\/em><\/span> is the new description in Colorado. It opens like a traditional home window with a crank. Each window is big enough to meet code requirements for egress. Made with a thermal pane and Low-E glass in a Doug fir frame. E-glass means low emissivity glass, a new technology for energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pictured right is a low-e glass window from Yurtco Manufacturing<\/a><\/em><\/strong> in Canada. They may have come up with the invention first, I\u2019m not certain. See the no-lattice clear view.<\/p>\n

To satisfy existing Colorado Yurt customers who wish to upgrade, their windows can be retrofitted into the wall. An installation video comes with the order. How nice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With most yurt manufacturers, three windows are in the basic price. Those windows typically include screens, storm windows, and zippered privacy flaps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The privacy flaps shut tight with a zipper on each side. At the bottom of each flap is a nylon rod that makes it easy to roll up. When they are rolled up, the window flaps are held in place with fast release buckles.<\/p>\n

All window flaps can convert to window awnings. Ordering includes two hinged, adjustable, steel poles with guy ropes and tighteners. I have awnings that work well for me in the tropics, but I\u2019m also in the no deck<\/em> with raised platform<\/em> category. When it gets cool at night, bundling up is easier than going outdoors with the ladder. My point is to review options with weather changes in mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>These are great ready-made options, but don\u2019t forget customization is a window choice as well. I\u2019m quite impressed with the pictured custom windows posted by Stanley McGaughey at Tug Hollow<\/a><\/em><\/strong> in New York. Notice that those yurts are solid-framed.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more to tell about yurt windows, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, feel free to send your window input in the comment box below.<\/p>\n
