Advantages and disadvantages of folding windows up and down

Advantages and disadvantages of folding windows up and down, the choice of windows is very important when we decorate the house. Folding windows can be opened by folding, which will not affect the indoor lighting and ventilation effect, and is favored by many people. Let's share the advantages and disadvantages of folding windows up and down.

Advantages and disadvantages of folding windows up and down 1 What are the advantages and disadvantages of folding windows?

First, advantages

1, takes up no space.

Folding the window can push it aside and solve the problem of insufficient balcony space to some extent. At present, the commonly used folding windows are mainly divided into two types: side hanging folding windows and push-pull folding windows, and the appropriate window is selected according to the size of the space.

2. Excellent heat insulation, cold preservation and moisture resistance.

The folding window also has excellent heat insulation, cold insulation and moisture-proof performance, and also has a certain sound insulation and noise reduction effect. In the cold winter, close the folding window to block the invasion of outdoor air conditioning, and with light yellow lighting, the room looks warm.

3, excellent anti-theft performance

Because of its unique material and structural design, folding protective window has excellent anti-theft effect and is the first choice for many families, enterprises and institutions.

At the same time, the folding window also has excellent protective performance, which can avoid falling accidents of children and the elderly, and avoid falling objects from high buildings from injuring people. At the same time, the folding window is beautiful in shape, which does not affect more lighting and ventilation, and meets the requirements of modern decoration and property management.

Second, shortcomings.

1. If the folding window is installed on a flat wooden (steel) frame window, people will feel that there are too many frames, which will hinder the sight and beauty. At the same time, when windows are opened in hot summer, wider glass will affect the diagonal wind.

2. When the folding window is opened and closed, it will be blocked by the flowerpot in front of the window, which is inconvenient. At the same time, folding windows are not suitable for installing screens, which will not only occupy space, but also affect indoor activities.

Advantages and disadvantages of folding windows up and down II. What are the advantages and disadvantages of sliding the window up and down?

1, advantages of sliding window

The sliding window does not occupy indoor and outdoor space, and the opening area can be controlled at will. Simple operation, suitable for windowsill. Folding open doors and windows are suitable for large spaces, and they slide along the track when opening and closing, which is convenient to operate.

2. Disadvantages of sliding window

(1) The large opening can only reach 1/2 of the whole window area.

(2) In stormy days, the windows can only be closed without ventilation.

(3) Cleaning is difficult, and it is difficult to wipe the outward side of the glass.

(4) Poor sealing, easy entry of moisture and dust, and poor energy-saving effect. The lower slide rail of the window frame slides back and forth, and the space on the upper side is large, and there is a gap between the pulleys on the lower side, so the heat loss is large.

2. What's the difference between a bay window and a sliding window?

Aluminum alloy doors and windows are classified by opening mode. At present, the more popular and practical window types on the market are push-pull type and flat type. Casement windows refer to doors and windows whose hinges (hinges) are installed on both sides of the doors and windows and open inward or outward; Sliding doors and windows mainly refer to doors and windows that are vertically pushed and pulled by window sash along the horizontal direction. Compared with the same glass and accessories, push-pull type and open type have their own advantages.

1. The difference in appearance between casement windows and sliding windows mainly lies in the collocation with the overall style of the building. The casement window has great flexibility in framing, so it can make any line elevation effect. For large-frame floor-to-ceiling windows, the opening fan only accounts for a small part of the whole window.

Therefore, it is more suitable for high-grade real estate with strict requirements on the overall effect of the building, which conforms to the architect's pursuit of large compartment, spacious and bright, transparent and effective, and harmonious and smooth appearance. Sliding windows can only be pushed and pulled horizontally, which is difficult to match with large divided fixed glass. They are generally suitable for open workshops or rural family buildings with clear horizontal and vertical lines.

2. From the three characteristics of doors and windows (wind resistance, water tightness and air tightness), casement windows are generally superior to sliding windows. The wind pressure resistance of doors and windows depends on the resistance moment of the main stress bar of doors and windows. Usually, the larger the cross section, the greater the resistance moment, but it is not completely proportional.

Generally, the profile of casement window is small, but its main stress components are assembled or vertical, and these main stress components will be strengthened in the design process, so its wind pressure resistance is good. Generally, the sections of sliding window profiles are relatively large, so it is reasonable to say that their wind pressure resistance should be better, but as long as the stress analysis is a little deeper, it is known that the main stress bar is often the middle fan material.

At the same time, the upper and lower stiles only rely on pulleys to bear horizontal wind load, so the wind pressure resistance is generally not ideal. The watertightness of doors and windows depends on the sealing effect of the opening. Casement windows are generally sealed with adhesive tape, while sliding windows are generally sealed with tops. The sealing effect of adhesive tape is generally better than that of wool tops.

In terms of air tightness, at present, two-point lock or heaven-earth lock is widely used in the market to seal the opening fan of casement window, and its sealing effect is good. However, the sliding window is usually locked by hook lock or touch lock, and its sealing effect is not ideal. Therefore, casement windows are generally superior to sliding windows in three aspects. This is why most high-end commercial buildings choose to use casement windows.

3. The prices of casement windows and sliding windows of the same grade are not much different, and casement windows are slightly higher than sliding windows. The price of ordinary casement window is 200 ~ 350 yuan /m2, the price of middle-grade window is 450 ~ 600 yuan /m2, and the price of high-grade casement window is generally above 800 yuan /m2.

Ordinary sliding doors and windows are generally 150 ~ 300 yuan /m2, middle-grade aluminum alloy sliding windows are 350 ~ 500 yuan /m2, and high-grade sliding doors and windows are above 600 yuan /m2.

4. In the use function: sliding window is favored by users because of its flexible opening and simple operation; In contrast, casement windows are usually hinged and usually opened by hand, which is often not as flexible as sliding windows.

5. In terms of processing and manufacturing: sliding windows are generally simple in structure and have no special requirements for equipment, which is convenient for small workshops or on-site processing and manufacturing; Because casement windows are generally connected with aluminum alloy specifications, a good corner punching machine is needed to make excellent aluminum alloy casement windows.

Advantages and disadvantages of folding windows up and down Three advantages:

1, saving space: the track width of the folding glass window is only about 25mm, which only takes up a small space on the windowsill, making the installation of curtains and screens more convenient. Convenient movement and good ventilation effect. At the same time, a more transparent and tidy home is created through folding doors.

2. Safety protection: the folding glass window has a protective effect, effectively avoiding accidents such as children falling from buildings and falling objects from high buildings.

3. Gorgeous appearance: the product is durable, colorful, smooth and colorful, and can be perfectly matched with interior decoration style or doors and windows.

Disadvantages:

1. There are too many intermediate frames in the flat wood (steel) frame window, which hinders the sight and beauty. Open the window in hot summer, and the wider glass will affect the diagonal wind. When opening and closing, it will be blocked by the flowerpot in front of the window, which is very inconvenient.

2. Opening and closing the screen window will occupy indoor space and affect indoor activities; Push and pull aluminum doors and windows, half of the windows can't be opened, the ventilation area is greatly reduced, the air circulation is not smooth in summer, and the room is stuffy; Frame folding aluminum doors and windows, the middle frame affects the line of sight and beauty. The actual ventilation area is reduced by 25-35%. It consumes 40-50% more aluminum, and the cost is too high.

Matters needing attention in purchasing glass windows:

1, material

Colored aluminum windows mainly include aluminum profiles, glass and hardware. Owners may pay more attention to the thickness of aluminum profiles and glass when purchasing products, but the requirements for hardware are not strict. In fact, the thickness, strength and oxide film of aluminum profiles used in high-quality color aluminum windows are in line with national standards.

Step 2 deal with

In addition to excellent materials, the processing of doors and windows is also very important. In fact, the technical content of color aluminum windows is not high, and most of them still rely on the manual operation of installation workers, which requires operators to have good product quality awareness. Therefore, in the production process, workers' proficiency and product awareness are very important.
