What is top-hung windows?
Top-hung window is a new form developed from casement windows. By installing a hinge on the upper side of the window, the window can be opened flat, or opened a little from above, and the open part is suspended in the air and fixed with the window frame through hinges. Because the window can only be opened about 10cm below, it is especially suitable for use when no one is at home, even if we forget to close the window outside on a rainy day, we do not have to worry about rainwater intrusion into the home.
