When choosing doors and windows, what kind of opening methods should be selected?
I. Main opening methods of aluminum alloy Casement windows
- Divided into interior casement windows and exterior casement windows. Interior casement windows open inward, while exterior casement windows open outward.
Characteristics:
Large opening area and good ventilation effect. It can allow a large amount of fresh air to enter the room and improve indoor air quality.
Good sealing performance. Casement windows generally adopt multiple sealing designs, which can effectively block wind, rain, and noise.
High safety. Anti-theft locks can be installed to improve the safety of Casement windows.
- Application scenarios: Suitable for various building types, especially places with high requirements for ventilation and sealing, such as residences and offices.
The window is opened by sliding left and right.
Characteristics:
Does not occupy indoor or outdoor space. When opened, it will not protrude outside like a casement window, especially suitable for places with limited space.
Convenient operation. With a light push and pull, the window can be opened and closed.
Relatively low price. Due to its relatively simple structure and low production cost, the price is relatively affordable.
Application scenarios: Widely used in various buildings, especially in small-sized residences and apartments with limited space.
The upper part of the window opens inward or outward at a certain angle.
Characteristics:
ood ventilation. Ventilation can be achieved under the premise of ensuring safety and avoiding rainwater from directly entering the room.
Has a certain anti-theft function. The opening angle is limited, making it difficult for outsiders to enter the room.
Does not occupy indoor space.
Application scenarios: Commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and other places that need ventilation but are worried about rainwater entering.
Opening method | Ventilation effect | space usage | Sealing | Ease of operation
| Price | applicable |
Casement window | Good | Occupies certain space when opening inward or outward | Good | Relatively complicated | High | Residences, offices and other places with high requirements for ventilation and sealing |
Sliding Window | Better | Does not occupy space | General | Convenient | Low | Small-sized residences, apartments and other places with limited space |
top-hung window
| Better | Does not occupy space | Better | Relatively complicated | Medium | Kitchens, bathrooms and other places that need ventilation and rain protection |
Bottom-hung window | General | Does not occupy space | Better | Relatively complicated | Medium | Windows on lower floors for convenient cleaning and ventilation |
- The lower part of the window opens inward or outward at a certain angle.
- Characteristics:
Easy to clean the outside of the window. The window can be hung down to facilitate cleaning the outside glass.
- Unique ventilation method. It can achieve micro-ventilation and avoid strong wind from directly blowing into the room.
- Application scenarios: Suitable for windows on lower floors for convenient cleaning and ventilation.
II. Comparison of main characteristics of different opening methods
III. Most recommended opening method
Considering various factors comprehensively, the casement window is a relatively recommended opening method. The reasons are as follows:
Good ventilation effect: Casement windows can be opened to the maximum extent, allowing a large amount of fresh air to enter the room and improve indoor air quality.
Good sealing performance: Multiple sealing designs can effectively block wind, rain, and noise and improve indoor comfort.
High safety: Anti-theft locks can be installed to increase the safety of windows.
Of course, the specific choice of opening method still needs to be determined according to the actual situation. If space is limited, sliding windows are also a good choice. If ventilation is needed while preventing rainwater from entering, top-hung and bottom-hung windows are more suitable.
