In renovation, the choice of windows is crucial. It not only affects indoor lighting and ventilation, but also relates to the safety and comfort of the home.
In recent years, with the advent of broken bridge aluminum casement windows, traditional sliding windows have been slowly replaced. When I was decorating the sealed balcony, I also followed the fashion trend and chose the broken bridge aluminum casement window. But two years after moving in, I realized that casement windows were not a smart move. If I decorate, I must not choose casement windows, not hypocrisy, but lessons learned.
1.There are security risks
To put it bluntly, casement windows are a kind of windows that open inside and outside in the horizontal direction, and the advantage is that there are sealing strips and good sealing.
Casement windows are divided into inward and outward, inward windows will occupy indoor space after opening, and the four corners of the edge of the window frame are sharp, slightly unnoticed, very dangerous after opening.
The windows are located outdoors when opened, and it is difficult to close the windows when there is heavy wind and rain or extreme weather. There is also a risk of falling windows, which is especially risky for high-level owners.
At the same time, it is also difficult to clean the outside glass of the entire window if it is an outward window.
2.Small opening area
The opening area of the casement window is relatively small, and the field of vision is not wide, which is not conducive to ventilation, especially in summer, the air intake is small, and the house is very stuffy, like an oven.
3.Expensive
People who have sealed the balcony know that the casement window is directly doubled compared with the sliding window, and the profiles used are not as much as the traditional sliding window!According to the merchant, it is a quality improvement, but in essence, it is still an increase in profits!
Therefore, if I want to renovate, I must choose the broken bridge aluminum sliding window.
1. Do not occupy space
Due to their construction, sliding windows do not take up space in the room when they are opened and closed, which not only eliminates safety hazards, but also does not cause embarrassment due to the curtains getting stuck. Therefore, it is very easy to use sliding windows.
2.Good ventilation
The sliding windows open with a large ventilation area and allow as much ventilation as possible in the house.
3.Flexible to use
The sash is closed by sliding and sliding, and it is flexible and effortless to use, and can be opened and closed flexibly no matter what the weather.
4.Good value for money
The same is the use of broken bridge aluminum profiles, the cost of sliding windows is half lower than that of casement windows, and the cost performance is much higher. This is mainly due to the fact that there is not much room for additional price increases for sliding windows.
Many friends may worry that the sealing effect of the sliding window is not good, in terms of sealing, the sliding window in order to push and pull freely, the sealing effect is indeed not as good as the casement window, but it is designed to use a multi-point lock method to fasten the window frame, this design can enhance the sealing performance of the window, provide better thermal insulation, energy saving and noise reduction effect.
And because the broken bridge aluminum material is thick, and usually uses double or triple glass design, the sound insulation effect is definitely better than that of plastic steel and aluminum alloy doors and windows, which can basically meet the sound insulation and thermal insulation functions of most people.
