Features Above Windows

Features above windows

Triangles – The brick in the triangle shape helps split the power of the heavy weight of the stone. Without details like this, the stone can break, and make the structure less stable.

Arches – Sometimes they built an arch over the window to achieve the same effect of stabilizing the weight distribution.

Wood beams – Other times, they used a wood beam over the top of a window to buffer the weight of the stone above.
