As an important part of the house, doors and windows must not only be practical and durable, but also coordinate with the overall style. Today I will bring you an analysis of various window types and characteristics to help decoration novices easily choose the doors and windows that suit them.
01、Sliding Windows
The sliding window seals the balcony and opens with left and right sliding. The advantage is that the opening area is relatively large, which can achieve a large ventilation effect, and the light is relatively sufficient. At the same time, whether it is opened or closed, it does not take up additional space, so it is relatively simple and practical.
However, compared with casement windows, the disadvantage of sliding windows is that their sealing performance is slightly insufficient, so the sound insulation, water tightness, air tightness, etc. are not as good as casement windows, so they are more suitable for those who do not have very high requirements for sound insulation. community.
02、Casement Window
Advantages of casement windows: good ventilation, good sealing, excellent sound insulation, heat preservation, and waterproof properties. Casement windows are divided into outward-opening windows and inward-opening windows. The inward-opening type is convenient for cleaning windows, while the outward-opening type does not take up space when opened!
Of course, casement windows also have some shortcomings. For example, inward-opening sash windows may occupy indoor space. If outward-opening sash windows are not properly protected from falling, there may be a danger of the sash falling.
03、Micro-ventilation window
The micro-ventilation system window leaves a 180mm micro-vent in the open position. Since the opening is small, it is a very clever design for users with pets and can effectively prevent children from climbing. If you want to enclose a balcony with a large view and comfort and ventilation, micro-ventilation windows are a good choice.
The shortcoming may be that it is "impossible" and requires an additional cost to install a fresh air system. It is suitable for owners who pursue a wide view and have sufficient budget.
04、BI-Folding Windows
Folding windows are generally suitable for relatively crowded rooms. The appearance of folding windows is similar to ordinary windows.
Advantages of folding windows:
①. Save space: The folding window can be moved to both sides, solving the problem of insufficient space.
②. Heat and sound insulation, fire and moisture proof: no matter how violent the storm or lightning and thunder, as long as the folding window is closed, there will be no worries.
③. Purify the air: Folding windows can maximize the ventilation area and make the indoor air fresh.
④. Anti-theft escape: The folding window has a unique structural design and perfect protective function. It can not only be used to prevent theft, but also prevent the elderly and children from accidentally falling from the building. It is easy to open and close and meets fire escape requirements.
Disadvantages of folding windows:
①. There are too many frames in the middle, which hinders the view. ②. When opening and closing, it will be blocked by the flowerpot in front of the window, which is very inconvenient.
05、Smart lifting window
Sealing balconies with lifting windows has been a popular trend in the past two years. The advantage is that it can obtain a larger opening area. The opening sash of the entire lifting window can be opened 100%, so it brings a large field of view that other window types cannot satisfy!
In addition, because lift windows are generally electric and can be opened and closed with one click, they are more convenient and fast, meeting the needs of owners to improve their quality of life. However, the price of this kind of lifting window is generally relatively expensive, which is more suitable for owners with sufficient budget.
