What are casement windows? Which is better, casement windows or sliding windows

Windows that open and close in a horizontal direction are called casement windows. Casement windows are generally divided into push-pull and top-hung two kinds of casement windows, casement window structure is simple, open and close are very easy and convenient, compared with other kinds of windows, casement windows open area is large, ventilation and lighting performance is good, but the casement windows also have some shortcomings, we can choose according to their own needs to decide whether to buy and install casement windows.

Casement windows applicable places

Because of the airtightness, wind resistance is very good, casement windows in actual use is highly favoured, mostly used for large space or high environmental requirements of the scene, such as the living room, balcony, study and so on.

Broken bridge casement window and non-broken bridge casement window difference

1, aluminium alloy profiles connected to a different way

The difference between non-broken bridge window source and broken bridge window is that the broken bridge window is a heat insulating strip nylon strip PA66 to connect the two aluminium alloy profiles.

2, the heat insulation effect is different

Broken bridge window has the role of heat insulation, we all know that the aluminium alloy profile has the function of heat conduction. Non-bridge-breaking windows in the summer through the spread of aluminium profiles, heat quickly into the house.

3, thermal insulation effect is different

Broken bridge window in the cold winter to prevent the indoor temperature to the outside, has a certain thermal insulation effect, and non-broken bridge window does not have thermal insulation function.

4, window wall thickness is different

Broken bridge series window national standard wall thickness of 1.4, non-broken bridge series broken bridge window wall thickness of 1.0-1.2 or so. Distribution is not uniform.

5, sound insulation effect is different

Broken bridge window insulation bar also stop the role of outside noise, while the non-broken bridge window does not have this role.

Casement windows and sliding windows which is good

1, Different Modelling

From the appearance of modelling point of view, casement windows have smooth lines, good ventilation, can maximise the opening of the window, so casement windows are very suitable for high light, smooth shape of the building. The sliding window is horizontal sliding, the maximum opening area of 50% of the window, easy to take up space, so it is more suitable for industrial housing and rustic style buildings.

2, different performance

From the performance point of view, casement windows and sliding windows are also different, casement windows are made of different materials, so its wind resistance, watertight, airtight than sliding windows, generally more suitable for use in high-rise buildings.

3, different appearance

Casement window flexibility is very good, open and close freely, suitable for large compartment floor windows and more stringent requirements of the building. Sliding windows can only be pushed and pulled horizontally, so it is suitable for horizontal and vertical lines of the building is more clear.

4, thermal insulation performance is different

From the point of view of thermal insulation performance, because the casement windows open the fan part of the heaven and earth lock for locking seal, sealing effect is very good. And sliding windows are mostly hook lock or touch lock locking window, so the sealing effect is not as good as casement windows.
