What is the difference between casement windows and sliding windows

As the saying goes, "the eyes are the windows of the soul", then the windows of the house are actually equivalent to the eyes of the human being! The windows not only play the role of ventilation and exchange with the outside environment, but also play the role of decorating the house and creating an indoor environment! With the improvement of people's quality of life, there are more and more types of windows. Casement windows, shutters, sliding windows, skylights, etc., casement windows and sliding windows are more common. So, do you know what a casement window is, and what is the difference between a casement window and a sliding window ? In order to let everyone have a better understanding, today I will tell you what is a casement window, what is the difference between a casement window and a sliding window !

1. What is a casement window

Casement window is the most common kind of window, which can be divided into inside and outside. Casement window, the sash is combined with the window frame through the hinge, and the sash can be rotated to open. The advantage of this kind of window is its simple structure. The whole window can be opened 100%, the opening area is very large, the ventilation is good, the air tightness is good when it is closed, and it also has the characteristics of sound insulation, heat preservation and excellent heat resistance. In today's increasingly demanding building energy efficiency, casement windows will become the mainstream of the market. The disadvantage of the casement window is that the window width is small and the view is not wide. The opening of the outer window takes up a space outside the wall, which is easy to be damaged when the wind blows; and the inner window needs to occupy part of the indoor space. It is inconvenient to use screens, and it is not convenient to use screens and curtains when opening windows If the quality is not enough, it may seep rain.

An aluminum alloy and plastic steel window appeared only later. It is a new form developed on the basis of casement windows. It has two opening methods, which can be opened flat or pushed from the top. When the casement window is closed, push the upper part of the window outward to open a gap of about ten centimeters, that is to say, the window can be opened a little from above, the opened part is suspended in the air, and fixed with the window frame by hinges, etc., so This is called the overhang type. Its advantages are: it can both ventilate and ensure safety, because of the hinge, the window can only open a ten centimeter gap, can not reach out from the outside, especially suitable for use when no one is at home. Recently, this function has not only been limited to flat windows, but sliding windows can also be opened upside down.

The sliding window has the advantages of simplicity, beautiful appearance, large window width, large glass block, wide field of view, high lighting rate, convenient glass cleaning, flexible use, safe and reliable, long service life, opening in a plane, less space occupation, and easy installation of screens Wait. At present, the most widely used is the sliding window. The disadvantage is that the two windows cannot be opened at the same time, and only half of the windows can be opened at the most, and the ventilation is relatively poor; sometimes the sealing is also slightly poor.

2. Conventional size of casement window

There are already 60 series of casement windows, and fixed windows, inner casement windows and doors, outside casement windows, inside turn-over windows, turn-and-slide windows, profiled casement windows, and arc Window, arc casement window, etc.

1. Casement window outside 60: window frame: 2400x2400 sash: 750x1600

2. Casement windows within 60: window frame: 2100x2100 sash: 1000x1600

Third, the difference between casement windows and sliding windows:

1. The appearance is different

The difference between the casement window and the sliding window is mainly in the match with the overall style of the building. The casement window has a greater flexibility in the division of the lattice, and it can be used to make any line of the facade effect. As for the floor-to-ceiling windows, the opening fan only occupies a small part of the entire window, so it is more suitable for high-end real estate with strict requirements on the overall effect of the building, especially in line with the large compartment, spacious and bright and transparent effect sought by the architect. Good, harmonious and smooth building. Sliding windows can only be pushed horizontally, so it is difficult to match large fixed glass, and they are generally suitable for open factories or rural family buildings with clear horizontal and vertical lines.

2. Different prices

The price of a casement window is the same as that of a sliding window. The casement window is slightly higher than the sliding window. The price of ordinary side-opening aluminum alloy windows is 200-350 yuan / square meter, and the price of middle and high-grade windows is above 460 yuan / square meter. The sliding doors and windows are generally 150-200 yuan / square meter.

3. Warming effect

In terms of thermal insulation performance, open and flat windows on the market are generally sealed with sealing strips, while sliding windows are generally sealed with wool strips. The sealing effect of the strips is generally better than that of wool strips. The opening fan parts of the casement window are often sealed with two-point locks or world locks for better sealing effect. The sliding window is generally locked by hook lock or bump lock, and its sealing effect is not ideal.

4. Performance

In terms of the three properties of doors and windows (wind pressure resistance, water tightness, air tightness), casement windows are generally superior to sliding windows. The resistance to wind pressure of doors and windows depends on the resistance moment of the main load-bearing rods of doors and windows. The larger the section of the profile, the greater the resistance moment is, but it is not completely proportional. Casement windows generally have a smaller profile cross section but their main load-bearing members are often scraped or vertical. These main load-bearing members will be strengthened accordingly during the design process, so their wind resistance performance is better . Sliding window profiles are generally larger in cross-section, and it is reasonable to say that their wind resistance performance should be better, but as long as the force analysis is a little more in-depth, it is known that the main load-bearing member is often a medium fan material, and its upper and lower stiles rely on pulley To withstand the horizontal wind load, the anti-wind pressure performance is generally not ideal. The water tightness of doors and windows depends on the sealing effect of the opening part, and the casement windows are generally sealed with adhesive strips. In terms of airtightness, the opening fan parts of the casement windows on the market are mostly sealed with two-point locks or world locks. Therefore, the casement window is generally better than the sliding window in terms of three properties. This is why most high-end commercial and residential buildings choose to use casement windows.

5. Production process

In terms of processing, the sliding window is generally simple in structure and has no special requirements for the equipment, so it is processed in a small workshop with a small electric saw; the casement window needs to be better because it uses thick aluminum alloy corner pieces to connect at 45 degrees "Angle striker" and "double-head cutting saw king" can produce excellent aluminum alloy casement windows.

Editor's summary: The above is a description of what is a casement window, the difference between a casement window and a sliding window, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Home is where we shelter from the wind and rain, but we can't be completely isolated from the outside world, so we have windows. The window will bring us sunshine and breeze, but it will also bring rain and dust, so we can't be sloppy on the window.
