Window Type


1. Entry window (fixed/floor type/high side window/top side window)

The glass is directly embedded in the window frame, and the fixed design without switching mechanism is mostly set due to lighting and landscape considerations. The function is simple and can be shaped into various shapes and sizes, however, cleaning is relatively inconvenient. It is often used in floor design of living room, high side lighting window and top side window to guide the light into the interior depth.

2. Casement window

The metal parts of hinges and rotating shafts are fixed windows single-sided. When opening, it seems to be a Arc type. It is divided into single-open and double-open designs. Double windows can be divided into single-sided switches or left-right and right-side switches, the size of the two fans does not have to be equal. If the size is the same, it is called a parent-child window. The structure is simple and easy to install, and it is a common window type for early traditional houses.

3. Two-way horizontal window

The most common window opening form is easy to adjust the opening size, and can be used with car window shade and shutters, with high elasticity. It is often used in various fields in the home as ventilation function, and sometimes the design of two-way horizontal window is adopted when the spatial structure or connection is slightly changed.

4. Hanging window

The opening design with the upper end of the window frame as the rotating axial extrapolation is similar to the ancient support and picking window, and the angle of pushing outward is like a house, so besides ventilation function, it can also prevent rainwater infiltration, it is often used in the design of balcony windows by mixing with sliding windows or shutters.

5. Blinds

The blade angle can be adjusted freely, which has the functions of shielding sight, adjusting light and ventilation.

6. Push the window up and down

Simply speaking, the design of turning the two-way horizontal window to 90 degrees changes the opening mode to push and pull up and down, which is divided into a form of fixed one side, adjustable only the other side and movable up and down, often combined with air tight door leading to the balcony.

7. Skylight

It is suitable for roof lighting. Compared with windows of the same size that are generally opened on the exterior wall, the lighting quantity is as much as three times, and most of them are sealed design and cannot be opened. It is limited by the building body, general apartments are mostly used for the top floor or single-family apartments.

The types of windows include skylights, fire resistant window, broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, plastic steel windows and floor-to-ceiling windows.

1. Skylight lighting, high ventilation efficiency, light weight side window. Skylights are widely used in modern buildings. According to their structure, location and relationship with roofs, they can be summarized into three types: Zenith, collision and depression.

2. Fire resistant window refers to the window that can meet the requirements of Fire Resistance Stability and fire resistance integrity within a certain period of time. Fire resistant window should be adopted when lighting and ventilation are required on the outer walls of two buildings with insufficient fire separation or between the spaces separated by firewalls.

3. Broken Bridge aluminum doors and windows, using heat insulation broken bridge aluminum profile and hollow glass, with energy saving, sound insulation, noise protection, dustproof, waterproof and other functions. The Broken Bridge aluminum doors and windows K value of heat-conduction coefficient is below 3W/㎡ · K, which reduces the heat loss by half compared with ordinary doors and windows, reduces the heating cost by about 30%, has a sound insulation of more than 29 decibels, and has good water tightness and air tightness, they all meet the national A1 window standards.

4. Plastic steel window is a window form actively promoted by the state in the mid-1990s after wood, iron and aluminium windows. The frame of this window is made of polyvinyl chloride resin as the main raw material, plus a certain proportion of stabilizer, colorant, filler, ultraviolet absorber, etc., extruded into profiles; It is one of the most commonly used window categories in modern buildings.

5. Windows refer to the windows that are built at a certain height on the floor surface, whether they are bungalows, tile houses or buildings, and then installed. Floor-to-ceiling windows are to increase the height of the windows as much as possible, fix the window directly on the floor surface.

  1. Aluminium windows
    When the aluminium alloy sliding window with light weight, high strength and good sealing performance appeared in the market, the copper window which was easy to rust was eliminated soon. In the 1990 s, almost all high, medium and low-grade buildings were installed with aluminium alloy sliding window. However, the disadvantages of this kind of aluminum alloy doors and windows are exposed after one or two years of use: high push-pull noise, poor heat preservation and sealing performance, easy to deform after wind and sun exposure, this makes people who pursue the quality of life begin to look at the newly emerging plastic-steel windows. In order to avoid elimination, aluminum alloy manufacturers launched the second generation of new aluminum alloy-Broken Bridge aluminium windows.
    This new type of aluminium windows has high strength, good rigidity, light weight, very good fire resistance, corrosion resistance, environmental protection, significant heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation effect and rich colors, with dark green, purple, silver gray, golden yellow and so on are more in line with the requirements of modern people to pursue both practicality and fashion.
    2. Plastic steel window
    As soon as the plastic steel window appeared, its fashionable appearance and good cost performance soon won people's favor, and it took aluminium windows in just a few years.
    "Half of the country". Some data show that this kind of plastic doors and windows containing steel lining are also very beautiful in developed countries such as Europe and America, with a high market share, such as Germany accounting for 52%, Britain accounting for 38%, and the United States accounting for more than 30%, south Korea accounts for about 35%. Developed countries, which have always been very picky about product quality, are also so fond of plastic-steel windows. Naturally, there are reasons.
    Advantages of plastic steel window:
    Strong decoration, good hand feeling, flexible opening and convenient cleaning make the room more modern. Good sealing and heat insulation, no deformation on the whole, and the surface is not easy to age. Acid and alkali corrosion resistance, dust prevention, flame retardant and self-extinguishing, high strength, no need of anti-corrosion paint when the device is installed, durable, and its air tightness and water tightness are 2~5 times larger than those of similar doors and windows. Long service life, the normal service life of plastic steel windows can reach more than 10 years.
    Most people have a misunderstanding that plastic steel windows are all white, but actually they are not. The color of high-grade UPVC profiles should be white and green. This color is aging quality resistance good, and it will not age in the outdoor wind or sun for three to five years, the medium and low grade profiles with discoloration and deformation are white and yellow. This color has poor sun protection ability. After several years of use, it will become more and more yellow until aging, deformation and brittle crack. The reason is that the formula of profiles contains too much calcium.
    Plastic steel window is certainly not perfect, because its main material is plastic, so it has a certain degree of expansion, and after a certain period of use, the color is easy to yellow, and it is not easy to clean after being dirty.
    Aluminum Alloy and plastic steel doors and windows have two ways: flat opening and sliding. Sliding window have simple facade, beautiful appearance, flexible use, safe and reliable, long service life, large light picking rate, less occupied space, it is convenient to bring car window shade and other advantages; While casement window has the advantages of large opening surface, sealing, ventilation and air permeability, good insulation and sound insulation performance and so on. Generally, the residential area of families is not too large, so it becomes people's first choice to open sliding window that does not occupy space.
    3. New wooden window
    There are mainly two types of new wooden window: pure wood window and "aluminum-clad wood" wooden window.
    The biggest advantage of pure wood window is that the texture of wood grain is strong, and the unique warm feeling and excellent durability of natural wood are all loved by people. The new wooden window wood can meet the drying requirements of high quality after periodic forced circulation evaporate to dryness, basically ensuring that wooden window does not crack.
    4. Aluminum-clad wood"
    Wooden window adds aluminum alloy protective layer to the outer layer of pure wood doors and windows to meet the different requirements of residential inner and outer sides for window materials. This kind of window not only retains the characteristics of pure wood windows, but also its outer aluminum alloy plays a protective role, which increases the service life and is easy to maintain.

    1. According to the material of the window, it can be divided into: wooden window, instrument frame, aluminium windows, stainless steel window, glass window, glass steel window, reinforced concrete window, etc.
    2. According to the shape of the window, it can be divided into flat doors and windows, sliding window, folding windows, revolving windows and revolving windows. It can also be divided into upper hanging windows, lower hanging windows, middle hanging windows, vertical turning windows and shutters.
    3. According to the function of the window, it can be divided into: fire resistant window, sound insulation window, heat insulating window, etc.
    4. According to the position of the window: The window is divided into side windows (located on the inner and outer walls) and skylights.

  2. I. Classification of windows
    According to the window opening method: casement window (inside and outside), sliding window, suspended window (upper suspension, middle suspension, lower suspension), fixed windows.
    According to the profile: ordinary aluminium windows, bridge-cutoff aluminum alloy. The Broken Bridge aluminium windows is an improved window to improve the thermal insulation performance of windows on the basis of ordinary aluminium windows.
    II. Features of various windows
    Generally, common window types include sliding window, casement window, suspended windows and fixed windows. Next, I would like to introduce the opening methods, application scope and their respective advantages and disadvantages of these kinds of windows in detail.
    1. Sliding window
    Open Mode: Open in a plane, and push and pull the window left and right or up and down along the track.
    Applicable situation: middle and low-grade buildings such as industrial plants and ordinary family houses.
    Advantages: it does not occupy indoor and outdoor space, is simple and beautiful, and is convenient to install car window shade and curtains.
    Disadvantages: the maximum opening degree is 1/2, and it is difficult to clean glass surface outward.
    2. Casement window
    Opening method: the window opens inward or outward.
    Application: medium and high-grade buildings such as commercial and residential buildings, office buildings, high-grade residences, villas, etc.
    Advantages: Flexible opening, large opening area, good ventilation, external opening does not occupy indoor space.
    Disadvantages: The vision is not wide enough, outwards opening window is easily damaged, in-swinging casement window occupies the indoor space, and it is not convenient to install curtains.
    3. Hanging window
    Opening method: open inside or outside along the horizontal axial direction, divided into upper suspension window, lower suspension window and middle suspension window.
    Applicable situation: it is mostly used in places where the installation location of windows such as kitchens and bathrooms is limited.
    Advantages: The opening angle of the upper and lower suspended windows is limited, which not only ventilates, but also ensures anti-theft safety.
    Disadvantages: the upper and lower suspended windows have weak ventilation performance due to the small opening gap.
    4. Fixed windows
    Opening method: install the glass on the window frame with sealant.
    Applicable situation: only the lighting is not ventilated.
    Advantages: good watertightness and air tightness.
    Disadvantages: no ventilation.
