Just what is Fenestration?
Whilst GQA have been offering
Fenestration related qualifications for around 20 years, we still get asked the

Candidates and Assessors alike
ask the question even though they have worked within this environment for many
years.

such as windows, doors , and skylights
- Chambers
English Dictionary: the arrangement of windows in a building
