How to choose door and window styles?

2025,04,02

With the continuous promotion of building energy conservation, consumers' awareness of building energy conservation is also constantly improving, which has led to great changes in the door and window industry. In particular, the introduction of the national mandatory policy on the use of energy-saving doors and windows in cold winter and hot summer areas has set off a major revolution in the building door and window industry. Many are now considering the benefits of modern Aluminum Windows for their projects.

Doors and windows are divided into enclosure components or partition components according to their location. There are different design requirements to have insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, waterproof, fireproof and other functions. The new requirements are energy-saving. The heat lost by the gaps in doors and windows in cold areas accounts for about 25% of the total heating heat consumption. The airtightness requirements of doors and windows are an important part of energy-saving design. Alongside Aluminum Windows, PVC Windows have also gained significant traction due to their excellent insulation properties.

Doors and windows are important components of the building envelope system.

Function 2: Doors and windows are important components of architectural modeling (virtual-real contrast, rhythmic artistic effect, play an important role), so their shape, size, proportion, arrangement, color, shape, etc. have a great influence on the overall shape of the building. For those seeking a blend of durability and design, Aluminum Casement Windows offer a sophisticated solution.

A style of windows in residential houses. The window sash opens and closes along a certain horizontal direction, so it is called "casement window".

Casement windows are divided into push-pull type and top-hung type. Its advantages are large opening area, good ventilation, good sealing, excellent sound insulation, heat preservation and anti-seepage performance. The inner opening type is convenient for window cleaning; the outer opening type does not occupy space when opened. The disadvantage is that the window width is small and the field of vision is not wide. In contrast, Aluminum Sliding Windows are often preferred for their wider views and ease of operation in certain applications.

The outer opening window takes up a space outside the wall when it is opened, and it is easy to be damaged when the wind blows; and the inner opening window takes up part of the indoor space, and it is not convenient to use screen windows. It is also inconvenient to use screen windows, curtains, etc. when opening the window. If the quality is not up to standard, it may also seep rain.

Top-hung type

This is a kind of aluminum alloy and plastic steel window that appeared later. It is a new form developed on the basis of casement windows. It has two ways of opening, either sideways or from the bottom. When the casement window is closed, a gap of about ten centimeters can be opened by pushing the lower part of the window outwards, that is, the window can be opened a little from the bottom, and the opened part is suspended in the air, connected and fixed to the window frame by hinges, etc., so it is called top-hung.

Its advantages are: it can ventilate and ensure safety. Because of the hinges, the window can only open a gap of ten centimeters, and hands cannot be put in from the outside, which is especially suitable for use when no one is at home. This function is not limited to casement windows, and sliding windows can also be opened from the top.

Casement windows are better than sliding windows in performance, but sliding windows are better than casement windows in processing, manufacturing and operation. For this reason, casement windows are widely used in urban commercial and residential buildings, office buildings, high-end residences, villas and other medium and high-end buildings; while sliding windows are widely used in industrial plants, rural residences and other medium and low-end buildings. Aluminum alloy doors and windows are classified by their opening methods. The more popular and practical window types on the market are sliding windows and casement windows. Casement windows refer to doors and windows that are opened inwards or outwards with hinges installed on the sides of the doors and windows; sliding doors and windows mainly refer to doors and windows that are pushed and pulled vertically left and right along the horizontal direction. When compared with the same glass and accessories, sliding and casement windows have their own advantages.
