When we decorate our home, we generally consider choosing windows. Like many families now habitually choose broken bridge aluminum windows, broken bridge aluminum windows are indeed a kind of household windows with better performance. But for broken bridge aluminum windows, one thing that everyone must consider clearly is the opening method of the window opening fan. In fact, it is also the sliding window and the casement window that we often hear. Today, Baydee is here to answer the question of the advantages and disadvantages of the sliding window and the flat window of the broken bridge aluminum.

(1): What are the advantages and disadvantages of broken bridge aluminum sliding windows?

The so-called broken bridge aluminum sliding window means that the opening fan of the broken bridge aluminum window is opened and closed by moving in parallel left and right. Some traditional plastic-steel windows are basically sliding windows. But everyone will find such a phenomenon that sliding windows are used less and less now, which also shows that sliding windows have many shortcomings. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of the broken bridge aluminum sliding window? Baydee summarizes it, mainly including the following contents.

advantage

Save indoor space. Because the sliding window of the broken bridge aluminum is opened by moving left and right on the main frame of the profile. Then in the process of opening it will not occupy any space in our room. The simplest point, for example, we install sliding windows on the balcony. If there is room for drying clothes on the balcony, we may also use casement windows to block the clothes, but if we push and pull left and right, there is no problem. Therefore, one of the biggest advantages of sliding windows is to save indoor space.

There is no collision problem. Another biggest advantage of the broken bridge aluminum sliding window is that there is no bumping problem. For the casement window, after opening it again, it opens into our room, and the edges and corners of the broken bridge aluminum opening fan are relatively sharp. If we have children at home, this situation is still relatively dangerous. The problem of bumping. Casement windows do not have this problem.

The sight is wider. Because the size of the opening fan of the broken bridge aluminum sliding window is much better than that of the casement window, so that our broken bridge aluminum profiles can be used as little as possible. It will make the window as a whole create a feeling of transparency. In fact, many friends now like to install floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony for this reason. The broken bridge aluminum sliding window can well achieve the transparency of the window in this aspect. It is better than the casement window we use, you can compare this.

shortcoming

Poor durability. Durability actually includes two aspects: the first aspect is the durability of the window sliding left and right, and the other aspect is the sealing of the window. Everyone will find such a problem, which is the common problem of using sliding windows to open the sash. After the window has been used for a few years, the push-pull fan is not very flexible, and it is difficult to push and pull. Another problem is that the sliding window will have the problem of air leakage as the service life increases. Especially after the difficulty of pushing and pulling, the air leakage of the window will be more serious. This is a very big disadvantage compared with casement windows. This is also the reason why the broken bridge aluminum sliding window gradually withdraws from our field of vision.

Poor heat and sound insulation. Since the sliding window is pushed and pulled left and right, in fact, after closing, the sealing effect between the windows is very poor. The easiest way to judge is that you can use a lighter to test the sliding window, and you will find that there is still a slight air leakage after the sliding window is closed. In fact, this also shows from another aspect that the thermal insulation and sound insulation of sliding windows are very poor.

Poor anti-theft performance. There is another feature of the broken bridge aluminum sliding window, that is, the anti-theft performance is very poor. Like many traditional families, guardrails are installed outside the windows. The reason for installing guardrails is that the sliding windows are installed in the home, which cannot prevent theft. Everyone knows that the sliding window is only locked by a lock to prevent sliding left and right, and this lock is almost anti-theft and can be opened gently. For casement windows, this can be effectively avoided.

(2): What are the advantages and disadvantages of broken bridge aluminum casement windows?

The casement window of broken bridge aluminum is a kind of window that is more commonly used at present. When replacing broken bridge aluminum windows, many families choose casement windows. This also shows from another aspect that the broken bridge aluminum casement window has more advantages than the traditional sliding window. That is to say, the sliding window of broken bridge aluminum is more suitable for household use than the casement window. For the advantages and disadvantages of broken bridge aluminum casement windows, I will summarize them personally, mainly including the following.

advantage

Good thermal and sound insulation performance. When we buy windows at home, in fact, the first problem that many friends consider is the heat insulation and sound insulation performance of windows. In terms of thermal insulation and sound insulation, casement windows are far better than sliding windows. Because the casement window relies on the locking method of the hardware lock to close the window. After the window is closed, it is sealed with adhesive strips, which can achieve a good thermal and sound insulation effect. Another point is that there is almost no air leakage after the casement window is closed, which is much better than the sliding window.

Good durability. For casement windows, as long as we choose qualified profiles and good hardware, our casement windows can be used almost forever. Like the broken bridge aluminum casement window we installed, it can basically be used for more than ten years without any problem. Because the casement window will not have track wear during use. As long as the hardware is of good quality, our casement windows will not have any quality problems. So it is more reliable in terms of durability.

The anti-theft effect is better. As long as our broken bridge aluminum casement window is closed, it can be said that there is almost no way to open it from the outside. Because its internal hardware is hidden inside, there is no way to move the hardware from the outside, so it has a good anti-theft effect. Another point is that the casement window can be used in conjunction with the diamond mesh window, so that even if we open the window, it has a good anti-theft effect.

shortcoming

The opening of casement windows has a certain impact on the space. This is also the biggest disadvantage of casement windows. For example, the simplest point is that after we open the casement window, it may lead to almost no way to place items within the scope of the open window, resulting in poor space utilization in this position. Another point is that if our window is to be made to open outward, it will generally be affected by the opening angle, and it cannot be opened to a large angle, which is very inconvenient to use.

The opening of casement windows has certain safety hazards. Especially after the platform windows in our home are opened, many of them are opened at 90 degrees, then our window sash is directly standing on the window, and because the opening sash of the casement window has sharp corners, so if It is very dangerous to bump into. Therefore, there is another kind of window that opens 180 degrees in this situation, so if we have children at home, we can also choose windows that open 180 degrees.

Affects the overall transparency of the window. In fact, this is also determined by the requirements of the size of the casement window for the profile. We all know that the size of the casement window opening fan is generally not particularly large, which is determined by the corresponding specifications, which also determines that our windows have more profiles. If we want to create an air-through effect, the use of casement windows does make a difference.

Regarding the choice of broken bridge aluminum windows, we have to pay attention to many aspects. For example, we should pay attention to the wall thickness of the broken bridge aluminum material, and also pay attention to the specific series type of the profile. Also pay attention to the number of layers of glass, the type of glass, etc. Also, pay attention to how the windows are opened. Baydee gives you a detailed comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of broken bridge aluminum casement windows and sliding windows.
