Door and window types

The NEN sheets distinguish more names than motions: a valraam and an uitzetraam both tilt, differing in which rail hinges and which way it opens. Each type is shown below with its plan mark.

What a mark says

• A solid leaf line opens outward, a dashed one inward — that is how the NEN sheets encode direction.
• The hinge side is named a or b after the wall's own direction, so it survives the wall being redrawn.
• Horizontal hinges (head, sill) exist in the document but cannot be seen in plan; a valraam and an uitzetraam draw identically there.
• A pui is one frame holding fixed glazing beside opening parts — one hole divided by mullions, not two openings with a pier invented between them.
