Converting existing glass windows into ventilation windows can be achieved in several ways:
1.*Micro ventilation system window**: This is a new type of window design, which is designed with slender opening parts on both sides of the window, usually only 10 centimeters wide, which can be opened and poured inward. This design ensures both a wide field of view and a certain degree of ventilation. The micro ventilation system window is used with the fresh air system, which can realize the circulation and purification of indoor air through the fresh air system without opening the window.
2.*Install Openingable Ventilation Windows**: If your existing window is a fixed glass window, consider installing an openable ventilation window. This may require the removal of part of the glazing and the installation of new window frames and opening sashes. Different types of openings such as sliding, swiveling or folding can be selected to suit different ventilation needs.
3.*Retrofit to a sliding window**: For locations such as south-facing balconies, consider converting the enclosed glass underneath into a sliding window. This usually requires the removal of the original fixed glass and the installation of a new sliding window frame. This method can provide a large ventilation area, but may cause some changes to the original structure.
4.*Install Ventilation Holes**: Install static ventilation holes in windows, which usually do not open and close, but can provide continuous micro-ventilation. This method is suitable for situations where you don't want to open windows frequently, but you need a certain amount of ventilation.
5.*Use window type and window opening position**: Good ventilation can be achieved by reasonably designing the window type, window opening position and window opening direction. For example, designing windows with multiple vents, or installing windows in a position that creates convection with other windows and doors, can speed up the flow of air and improve ventilation efficiency.
When performing window remodeling, it is advisable to consult with a professional window installer or renovation company to ensure that the renovation process is safe, effective, and in accordance with local building codes. At the same time, considering that the renovation may affect the sealing and soundproofing of the window, these factors should be fully evaluated before the retrofit.
