The roofs of rich buildings were covered with iron. The facades were plastered. Simple window openings on smooth wall facades were complemented by sandriks, straight or wavy, single or multi-layered. Brickwork protruding in one or several rows formed platbands. Typically, such windows had internal plank panels instead of external shutters.
