What Is The Difference Between Casement And Sliding Aluminum Windows?
It is very important to choose the right windows when decorating our home or business. It not only affects the indoor ventilation and lighting, but also affects the overall beauty and practicality. We usually choose sliding windows and casement windows as the first choice for home windows. These two types of windows have their own characteristics, advantages and suitable applications.
The opening method of sliding windows is simple and clear. The window sash is pushed and pulled horizontally by the slide rail, and it is opened and closed by moving left and right. This design makes it take up almost no indoor space when it is opened, so that our house space will not be too compact. In some small-sized bedrooms or rooms adjacent to narrow corridors, the placement of furniture or daily activity lines will not be affected by our daily opening.
Casement windows are hinge-based and can be subdivided into exterior casement windows and interior casement windows depending on whether they open inward or outward. When the window sash opens indoors, it takes up a certain amount of interior space. If our room is densely furnished, it will be somewhat limited. There are also casement windows that can be opened both flat and pushed open from the lower part. When the casement window is closed, the lower part of the window can open a gap of about ten centimeters. This type of opening can be ventilated, but also to ensure safety, especially suitable for use when no one is at home.
In addition, casement windows are usually superior to sliding windows in terms of sealing performance. As the window sash and frame are sealed with compression seals, it can create a relatively quiet and clean environment for our living room. And good sealing performance can also help to improve indoor thermal insulation, can be very good to block the thermal bridge effect, and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning. But in contrast, the sliding window because of its opening method, its sealing strip can not choose rubber strip but wool strip, which will lead to its sealing is far less than the casement window. With the advancement of technology, this shortcoming can be overcome, just need to spend the cost will also rise.
