Home decoration aluminum alloy windows generally choose two modes, either casement window or sliding window. So, is casement window good or sliding window good? Next, fuxuan doors and windows editor will give you an answer!
Appearance
the difference between casement window and sliding window in appearance mainly lies in the matching with the overall style of the building. Casement window can make any line facade effect due to its flexibility in grid division, and for the large divided floor-to-ceiling windows, the opening fan only accounts for a small part of the whole window, so it is more suitable for high-grade buildings with strict requirements on the overall effect of buildings, it is especially in line with the architecture with large compartment, spacious and bright, good transparency effect and smooth appearance pursued by architects. Sliding window because the opening fan position can only be pushed and pulled horizontally, it is difficult to match the fixed glass with large grid. Generally, it is more suitable for opening workshops or rural family buildings with clear horizontal and vertical lines.
Specific performance
casement window is generally better than sliding window in the three properties of doors and windows (wind pressure resistance, watertightness and air tightness). The wind pressure resistance of doors and windows depends on the resistance moment of the main force bar of doors and windows. The larger the section of the profile, the larger the resistance moment, but it is not completely proportional. Casement window generally, the section of the profile is small, but the main force-bearing bar is mixed or medium vertical. These main force-bearing bars will be strengthened accordingly during the design process, therefore, its wind pressure resistance is better. Sliding window profile section is generally relatively large, and its wind pressure resistance should be relatively good, but as long as a little in-depth stress analysis, it is known that its main force bar is often medium fan material, at the same time, its upper and lower mullions only rely on pulleys to bear horizontal wind loads, so the wind pressure resistance performance is generally not ideal. The watertightness of doors and windows depends on the sealing effect of the opening part. Casement window is generally sealed by adhesive strips, while sliding window is generally used to seal wool tops. The sealing effect of adhesive strips is generally better than that of wool tops. In terms of air tightness, casement window of the open fan parts on the market currently use two-point lock or Sky lock for locking and sealing, and the sealing effect is better. However, sliding window is generally locked by Hook Lock or spring lock, and its sealing effect is not ideal. Therefore, casement window is generally better than sliding window in three aspects. This is why most high-end commercial and residential buildings choose to use casement window.
To sum up, casement window is better than sliding window in performance, but sliding window is better than casement window in processing, manufacturing and operation. According to their own home needs, if consumers suggest casement window in the north, if acclimatization in the South, they can do sliding window, which is more cost-effective.
