A window is an item of Template:L that can be constructed to form solid walls surrounding a Template:L. A window is not considered Template:L for the purposes of preventing Template:Ls, but it will block the flow of Template:L and Template:L. Template:L windows can be made with any type of glass at a Template:L, and are placed similarly to furniture. Like all furniture, windows must have a floor underneath them to be built. Alternatively, a Template:L window can be directly constructed from three Template:L of any type (including cut glass). If the gems used to make a gem window are of different colors, the window will flash between the different colors of the gems.

Dwarves will get a happy Template:L from windows built of a material they like. Light from a window built into the cliff face will not illuminate a room and will not prevent cave adaptation. However, dwarves can see through windows, and will run away from hostile creatures standing on the other side of the window.

A Template:L may Template:L a window, no matter how far underground his rooms are. A noble's Template:L to make windows will not be satisfied by building a gem window.

A Template:L window's value multiplier is 25, the same as a Template:L. This makes glass windows a good choice for raising the value of a Template:L. Similarly to Template:Ls, dwarves frequently get stuck when placing windows, sometimes making it necessary to deconstruct and reconstruct the window in order to free them.

Gem windows, on the other hand, do not receive value multipliers; a gem window's value is the sum of the value of the gems used in its construction. For maximizing value, gems are better used for Template:Ls, even if your Template:L and Template:L are only Template:L.
