Many people plan to change windows, but don’t know what opening method is more appropriate. Today, I will introduce to you the various opening methods and characteristics of commonly used doors and windows at home.
Casement window
Performance advantages:
Good ventilation, good airtightness, sound insulation, heat preservation and impermeability. Casement windows are divided into outer and inner windows. The inward-opening type is convenient for cleaning windows, and the outward-opening type does not take up space when it is opened.
Precautions:
When the inner opening window is opened, it will occupy part of the indoor space. Children will not notice the corner of the window when they are playing, and the curtains cannot be drawn when they are opened. When the external opening window is opened, the wind-receiving area is large and easy to be damaged. In some places, it is forbidden to install the external opening window.
Inverted window
The inverted window is a new form developed on the basis of casement windows. It has two opening methods, which can be opened horizontally or inverted (the upper part of the window sash is inclined inward). When inverted, a gap of about ten centimeters can be opened, that is to say, the window can be opened a little from above, and the opened part can be suspended in the air and connected and fixed with the window frame by a hinge or the like.
The advantages of the unique inverted function of the inwardly opening and inverted windows:
① Optimize ventilation performance: When the windows are down, not only can the room be naturally ventilated, but the most important thing is that the air enters the room from the windows and sides, so that the exchange of indoor and outdoor air is smooth, comfortable and soft.
②Improve security: When the window is down, the window is open and ventilated. At the same time, it is very safe and has anti-theft performance compared to the outer casement or inner casement window.
③When the dust-proof and rain-proof windows are down, the airflow entering the room will first be blocked by the glass. The heavier dust particles in the air are less likely to “turn sharply” and are naturally blocked outside. On a rainy day, because the rain falls from above, even if it shifts into the room due to the wind direction, it will be blocked by the glass of the inverted window.
④Easy to clean
Externally open top-hung windows
The externally-opening top-hung window drives the hardware actuator to move correspondingly by operating the handle of the window sash, so that the window sash can be opened horizontally or tilted into the room to open a certain angle for ventilation.
Performance advantages:
①Ventilation Because the inverted position is another way to open the top-hung window outside, it allows the room to circulate naturally with the natural air, and the indoor air is fresh, while eliminating the possibility of rainwater entering the room.
②Safety The linkage hardware arranged around the window sash and the various functions of the handle for indoor operation are fixed on the window frame when the window sash is closed, so the safety and anti-theft performance are excellent.
③Easy to clean the windows. Simple operation and linkage handle can make the window sash go indoors. It is convenient and safe to clean the outer surface of the window.
④Practicability It avoids taking up indoor space when the inner window is opened, and it is inconvenient to hang curtains and install the lifting clothes rail.
⑤Good sealing and heat preservation performance Through multiple locking around the window sash, the sealing and heat preservation effect of doors and windows is ensured.
Precautions:
Open the upper hanging window outside, it is inconvenient to scrub, and the safety is slightly lower. If the installation is unqualified, there is the possibility of falling from high altitude. The hardware accessories used are more than that of the inner-opening and inner-inverted windows. Therefore, the price of the outer-opening top-hung window is slightly higher than that of the inner-opening and inner-inverted windows.
Sliding window
The opening and closing of the window sash is realized by the external force acting on the window sash to drive the pulley to roll. It is a single, double or multiple doors and windows that push and pull left and right.
Performance advantages:
It is easy to use, safe and reliable, and has a long service life. The window position and vent can be selected relatively freely, and it does not occupy indoor space when it is opened. Open in a plane, easy to install and use screens and curtains. Relatively economical point.
Precautions:
The maximum opening degree can only reach 1/2 of the entire window area; in windy and rainy days, the window can only be closed and cannot be ventilated; the airtightness of the sliding window is poor.
The above is a summary of the characteristics of common door and window opening types. I hope you can have a certain understanding and help on window opening, and you can choose the right home door and window according to your needs.
