When we decorate the house, windows are a very important part, especially for people living in high-rises, replacing good quality windows can ensure indoor ventilation and safety, and make life more comfortable!
It's just that with the passage of time, you will find that the windows have gradually been updated, from the initial sliding window to the current casement window, which provides us with a lot of convenience, but, as a person who has come over, I think the advantages of casement windows are not so obvious, and there are even a lot of defects, only those who have tried it know how chicken ribs.
Therefore, if the balcony is sealed again, I vow not to choose the "casement window" again, not superstition, but the experience of the past, let's take a look!
What are the disadvantages of casement windows?
1. The ventilation area of casement windows is small
A significant disadvantage of casement windows is the relatively small ventilation area.
Compared to other types of windows, casement windows have a limited amount of ventilation area when opened, which may have an impact on indoor air circulation.
Specifically, casement windows are designed in such a way that they can only open a portion of the windows when opened, unlike sliding or rotating windows that can be fully opened. This restricts the space in which air can enter and exit, resulting in less effective ventilation than other window types.
Lack of adequate air circulation can make the air hot and stale, especially in humid or hot weather conditions.
This can have a detrimental effect on the health and comfort of the occupants.
In addition, a smaller ventilation area may also affect the temperature regulation in the room. Good ventilation is essential for heat dissipation and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. If the ventilation is poor, it may cause the room to overheat or cool, increasing the burden on the air conditioning or heating system.
2. Casement windows occupy space
Casement windows excel in terms of tightness, however, it also has some shortcomings.
When a window is open, it takes up a relatively large space, which can cause certain limitations on the layout and use of the interior.
In addition, the edges of the window frames of casement windows are usually sharp, which increases the risk of bumps and poses a certain hidden danger to people's safety. In daily life, people may accidentally touch the edge of a window frame, resulting in pain or even injury.
Especially in environments where space is limited, such as small apartments or narrow hallways, the problem of casement windows is more obvious.
This can affect the placement of furniture and the space where people can move. At the same time, for families with small children or the elderly, the sharp edges of the window frames are a safety issue that requires special attention.
3. The price of casement windows is more expensive
Broken bridge aluminum casement windows are usually more expensive than other types of windows.
This is mainly due to the cost of the broken bridge aluminum material itself and its excellent performance. Broken bridge aluminum is a high-quality aluminum alloy material with good thermal insulation performance and corrosion resistance.
It adopts the broken bridge technology, that is, adding a thermal insulation strip in the middle of the aluminum profile, which effectively prevents the transfer of heat and improves the thermal insulation performance of the window. The manufacturing process and technical requirements of this material are high, so the cost is relatively high.
Choose a sliding window, which is more cost-effective
Even though the sliding window has gradually become obsolete, there are still many people who use it when decorating.
Below, let's take a look at the advantages of sliding windows!
(1) Cost-effective
If you choose to decorate your home with sliding windows, the price is very affordable, and under the same material, sliding doors and windows are nearly half cheaper than ordinary casement windows.
If your house is relatively large, or the budget is not very sufficient, it is more cost-effective to choose sliding windows.
And as long as the material is good, there is no problem even if the sliding window is used.
(2) Good ventilation effect
When the sliding window is opened, the spacious opening fan allows a large amount of air to enter the house, effectively improving indoor air quality.
This is essential for maintaining a comfortable and healthy living environment. Adequate ventilation removes dirty air and brings in fresh oxygen, making the air in the house more pleasant.
Not only that, but the increase in ventilation area also helps to regulate the indoor temperature.
In hot weather, good ventilation can help dissipate heat and keep the house cool. And in the cold season, proper ventilation can prevent the air from being too stuffy and improve the comfort of occupants.
(3) Flexible use
The sash is sliding and closing by a push-pull method, which provides great flexibility and is effortless, allowing the sash to open or close smoothly with just a push or pull.
This is especially convenient for the elderly and those with weak physical strength, so that they can also easily enjoy good ventilation and lighting.
The sliding-sliding closure also increases the safety of the windows. Compared to windows that need to be rotated or flipped, sliding windows are easier to operate, reducing the possibility of accidents.
This flexibility is not only reflected in the operation of opening and closing windows, but also in the cleaning and maintenance of windows.
The design of the sliding window makes it easier to clean the windows, and it is easy to wipe down the sash and glass to keep the windows clean and bright.
(4) Do not occupy space
When sliding windows are opened or closed, they glide smoothly along the rails and do not stick out into the room or take up additional space.
This allows people to move indoors without worrying about being hit or obstructed by windows, increasing the available space and freedom indoors.
Especially in rooms with limited space, such as small houses or narrow hallways, the space-free nature of the sliding windows is particularly important.
They make the most of space and avoid the cramped feeling of space caused by traditional window openings.
At the same time, the design of the sliding window also avoids the embarrassing situation of the curtains getting stuck. When the curtain is stuck, it not only affects the normal use of the window, but also may damage the curtain or the parts of the window.
The use of sliding windows can avoid this problem and make the opening and closing of the curtains smoother.
Write at the end:
When you decorate windows, do you think that broken bridge aluminum doors and windows are easy to use, or sliding windows are easy to use?
