vinduering

Vinduering is a term used for both the installation of windows in buildings and, in computing, for the management of graphical windows on a screen. In construction, vinduering covers planning, fabrication, and installation of window units, including frames, glazing, and hardware. Window types include casement, sliding, double-hung, and fixed units; common materials are wood, PVC-u, aluminum, and composites. Glazing ranges from single to triple panes, often with gas fills and low-emissivity coatings to improve energy performance. Selection considers thermal insulation, weather resistance, sound reduction, security, and ease of maintenance. Installation requires accurate measurement, proper sealing against air and water intrusion, and alignment to ensure operability. Routine maintenance includes cleaning, seal inspection, and periodic hardware or glazing replacement.

In computing, windowing refers to the subsystem that renders and manages application windows on a display. A windowing system provides a canvas for drawing content, routes input events, and controls window decoration and behavior. It relies on a display server or compositor to assemble windows into the final image shown to the user. Core concepts include the window itself, its frame or decorations, z-order or stacking, focus, and event handling for mouse and keyboard input. Widely used windowing models include those of X Window System, Wayland, and native window managers in Windows and macOS. Windowing supports multitasking by letting several applications run simultaneously in separate, resizable windows, sometimes with effects such as translucency or animation.

Vinduering thus denotes both a construction practice and a computing concept, depending on context.
