2024-07-12 Back
Casement window and sliding window have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one is better depends on your specific needs and preferences.
Advantages of casement window:
1. Good ventilation effect: can be fully opened to allow full exchange of indoor and outdoor air.
2. Good sealing performance: good sealing strips make it excellent in sound insulation, heat insulation, waterproofing and other aspects.
3. Higher safety: inward-opening casement window can be equipped with guardrails, and outward-opening casement window is more secure when closed.
Disadvantages of casement window:
1. Occupies indoor space: may affect indoor activity space when opened inward.
2. Cleaning the outer glass is somewhat dangerous: it is inconvenient to clean the outer side when opened outward.
Advantages of sliding window:
1. Does not occupy indoor space: will not affect indoor layout and activities when opened.
2. Easy to operate: push and pull left and right, easy to use.
3. Simple appearance: suitable for modern minimalist style decoration.
Disadvantages of sliding windows:
1. The ventilation area is relatively small: generally only half of the window can be opened.
2. The sealing performance is slightly poor: the gap in the track can easily lead to air and rainwater infiltration.
If you pay attention to ventilation and sealing performance, have high requirements for sound insulation and heat insulation, and the indoor space allows, casement windows may be more suitable for you. For example, in bedrooms, study rooms and other spaces that require a quiet environment.
If your space is limited, or you pay more attention to the ease of operation and not taking up space, sliding windows may be a better choice. For example, in balconies, kitchens and other places.
For example, for users living in busy neighborhoods with high noise, the sound insulation advantage of casement windows can bring a quieter living environment; while for small kitchens, the space is compact, and the feature of sliding windows not taking up space is more practical.
