Yes, they are Finnish and they are windows.
What is so wonderful about them?
Simply, everything.
Special glass, first to mention, unbreakable.
Special pushing system assures that the windows can be completely open. The insulation with Finnish windows are meant against rain, dust, noise and cold.
As if this was not enough, you create a completely new room when used on balcony.
Safety first and that is the reason why the Finns decides to go with safety ubreakable glass.
What is also very cool feature is scalability – this means, you have rubber insulation on the sides and fiber lamelas in between the widows – this assures that you can ventilate the room in summer while stile have it insulated and what more, locked.
Finnish window system allows to decrease your heat bill by at least 20%, depending on the place, size and other factors surpassing 50%.

Finnish Windows
What did the traditional Finnish windows look like?
You can’t see it very well in this picture, but traditional Finnish windows are actually two layers of windows, the inner layer and the outer layer, both of which you have to open. This is because winter in Finland is really cold.
Cold and cool.
