Detailed explanation of the center-hung window system, very practical!
A center-hung window refers to a window in which the rotating axis is installed in the middle of the window and can rotate along the rotating axis. According to the direction of the centerline of the sash rotation when the window is opened and closed, center-hung windows are divided into two types: horizontal center-hung windows and vertical center-hung windows.
Due to the influence of the material and structural form as well as the processing technology of doors and windows, the opening forms and structural forms of center-hung windows of different materials will be different. Common center-hung windows are aluminum alloy, PVC and wooden.

System Features
Compared with other window types, the biggest advantage of center-hung windows is that the inlet and outlet ventilation areas are similar, making it easy to form a ventilation cycle with a large air exchange volume, ensuring continuous, smooth and flowing natural ventilation.
According to some architects' data, the ventilation volume of a center-hung window can be several times that of a top-hung window of the same area. Therefore, in some places with strict requirements for fresh air volume, such as shopping malls and bus stations, center-hung windows are more popular.
In addition, correspondingly, due to the special opening method of the center-hung window, it can be made into a round window. Can meet certain facade requirements of architects. (But this type of window generally has poor sealing performance)
