Aluminium windows, the bright eyes of buildings, make limited spaces infinitely extend to beautiful world. Connecting our living spaces to the natural world, we can see lush forests, sunny grass, and bustling urban cities. The proper design and utilization provide enough natural light and excellent ventilation in order to create a comfortable and wonderful life. On the market, there are four main windows, including sliding window, casement window, top-hung window, and tilt and turn window. How can different opening styles impact the performance and effectiveness of windows?
1.Casement Window: Enjoy Every Moment of Life
The casement window is a common and traditional type of window including the outward-opening and the inward-opening casement window. An outward-opening window does not occupy indoor space while opening and is especially suitable for small apartments. However, in extreme weather conditions like typhoons, if the window is not qualified, there may be potential safety hazards such as falling off. Therefore, in high-rise buildings, outward-opening windows are prohibited in many areas. In inward-opening casement windows, the sashes move inward while opening. This makes the windows easy to clean but it occupies indoor space.
Both inward-opening and outward-opening casement windows have the advantages of large opening area, excellent ventilation, and superior sealing performance. For casement window, the opening sashes are often securely fastened to the frame by a multi-point locking system. Combining high-quality sealing strips, a casement window brings many exceptional effects such as insulation, thermal, sound reduction, noise reduction, and dust, rain, and leakage prevention. Suitable for low-rise or mid-rise buildings, casement windows are recommended in environments and regions with high concentrations of dust, loud noises, or abundant rainfall, because they offer better effects on environmental protection and energy efficiency, reducing cooling and heating costs.
2.Sliding Window: Unbounded Views and Scenery
A sliding window provides an expansive view without occupying space. There are single, double, or multiple panels that can be slid from left or right side. It owns many prominent features like excellent day lighting and an opening area that can reach up to 50% of the entire window without occupying internal or external space while opening. Moreover, it is convenient to install and use screens and curtains. The sashes can be removed for cleaning. Compared to the casement window, a sliding window needs to be closed during rainy days, which leads to poor ventilation. Therefore, sliding windows are more suitable for environments and regions with fresh air, little rainfall, or low requirements for window sealing.
3.Top-Hung Window: Safe and Secure
For a top-hung window, the opening sash is opened from the bottom to top. This window design not only provides excellent ventilation but also effectively blocks strong winds from directly blowing onto people, particularly friendly to families with elderly people or children. Even though no one is home, it is still able to open the window and achieve natural ventilation. When the doors and windows are closed, a top-hung window fixed by its hardware makes it difficult to open from the outside, providing excellent burglar resistance. At the same time, the design of a top-hung window can effectively avoid some accidental injuries such as head collisions. When the top-hung window is open, almost no rainwater can enter the room, even if one forgets to close the window. Due to its unique advantages, top-hung windows are especially suitable for engineering projects such as hospitals, hotels, apartments, or in low-rise buildings and areas with less wind.
4.Tilt and Turn Window: See Beauty and Enjoy Comfort Life
A tilt and turn window is one new form developed on the basis of the casement window. It can open inward and also tilt inward. When tilted inward, with a gap of about 10 centimeters at the top of the window, the opening part is suspended in the air and fixed to the window frame through hinges and other connections. Tilt and turn windows allow air to enter the room from the side, creating a natural ventilation effect that is more comfortable and gentle. These windows also offer excellent burglar resistance. Although the window is open, people outside can not enter the room through the window. Featuring its unique structural features, rainwater will not enter the room even on rainy days, particularly suitable for homes with elderly people, children, or in areas with more dust or rainy weather.
Choosing different opening styles not only subtly enriches life with boundless charm and interest, but also plays an important role in safeguarding home security.
