Aluminum drift windows: innovative design brings a new experience

2024-07-23 Back

Aluminum drift windows are a window type with a unique design that combines the advantages of sliding windows and casement windows to provide users with more convenience and comfort.


In terms of working principle, the drift window drives the internal linkage hardware structure by operating the handle, so that the window sash can be in three different states: inward tilt, side sliding, and locking. When the handle is vertically upward, the window sash enters the inward-turning state; when the handle is horizontal, the window sash is in a side-sliding state and can be moved out of the window frame; when the handle is vertically downward, the window sash is locked. The handles of some drift windows can also rotate 180° freely, and can be directly switched to the translation state when in the inverted state, without the need for reset operations, avoiding the problem of difficulty in closing large inverted windows.


The drift window has the following salient features:

1. Simple and beautiful: the window sash can be pushed out completely, maintaining the consistency of the window facade effect, and adopts a hidden guide rail design, which presents a minimalist appearance when closed. The opening sash is completely flush with the fixed sash, and there is no redundant aluminum frame. Block the line of sight, provide barrier-free viewing enjoyment, and meet the pursuit of simple aesthetics in modern architecture.

2. Micro-ventilation: In the inverted mode, the opening angle of the window sash is about 15°. The ventilation effect is relatively mild, which reduces direct blowing to the human body and reduces the risk of colds. It is suitable for micro-ventilation and microcirculation in winter, and can effectively block rainwater when it rains.

3. Save space: The side-sliding opening method avoids occupying indoor space and does not conflict with indoor items. It solves the problem of mutual interference between casement windows and curtains, lifting hangers, faucets, desks, etc., while reducing the risk of accidental collisions. Improved use safety factor.

4. Large ventilation: It can be opened at one time to cover up to 50% of a large area, ensuring smooth ventilation and significantly improving indoor transparency.

5. Good sealing: The essence is still a broken bridge aluminum window. It adopts multi-point locking technology around the window sash and the window frame and frame sealed with full rubber strips. It is closed by extrusion and has the same strong sealing performance as traditional casement windows. , with the characteristics of wind pressure resistance, air tightness, water tightness and thermal insulation and sound insulation.

6. Easy to operate: One handle can easily switch between the three modes of tilting, side sliding and locking. It is easy to operate. The anti-sway side pulley structure makes the window sash stable and not shaken when closed.

7. Screen windows can be installed: they can be matched with screen windows of corresponding sizes like casement windows, which not only play a protective role but do not hinder the opening of the window, and are easy to use.


Drift windows have excellent application performance in multiple scenarios:

1. Bedroom: An entire wall can be designed as a window, so that you can enjoy the beautiful city scenery without any obstacles in the bedroom, enjoy a lot of natural ventilation, achieve a simple, flat and large visual effect, create a good landscape experience, and show the aesthetic characteristics of the home. .

2. Bay window: The side-sliding opening method makes it easy to open and close the window while sitting on the bay window. There is no need to move debris or climb on the window sill, and avoid conflict with the curtains.

3. Balcony: When drift windows are used to seal the balcony or floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, the inward-turning mode can provide long-term micro-ventilation and micro-circulation. You can also feel the fresh air on rainy days. The side-sliding opening does not block the area of items. Ventilation and drying can be carried out at the same time, and its noise reduction , sound insulation, heat insulation, wind resistance and waterproof functions are also more prominent.

4. Back garden: The current drift window pulley hardware solution has a load-bearing capacity of up to 140kg and can be used to make drift windows or drift doors of different sizes. It is also possible to design a combination of drift windows and drift doors, or use a double-leaf drift door configuration. , micro-ventilation and micro-circulation can be achieved by inverting, or the door leaf can be opened sideways, which does not occupy space and does not hinder entry and exit.

5. Kitchen: The side-sliding opening perfectly solves the problem of kitchen windows being blocked by objects when opening outwards and being restricted when opening outwards. It does not take up space and does not touch the faucet. It can also be made smaller and can be installed even if the window opening is less than one meter. .


When using drift windows, you need to pay attention to the following:

1. Do not use it overweight. The standard load-bearing capacity of the standard product (two sets of pulleys) is 50kg. The load-bearing capacity increases by 20kg for each additional set of pulleys. The maximum load-bearing capacity currently tested is 140kg.

2. The corrected diagonal and flatness of the window sash and window frame must be accurate to ensure the normal installation and use of the hardware.

3. When installing the glass, the spacer needs to be aligned with the stress point of the lower wheel shaft.

4. When the width of the movable glass fan exceeds 1 meter, the upper and lower horizontal frames must be equipped with wind-resistant locking points.

5. The window sash and the glass are fixed by applying glass glue to the inner cavity of the movable glass sash to form an integrated glass frame, which is stable and reliable. External waterproof tape or glass glue is applied.

6. The system accessories of the drift window must be adapted to the materials of the door and window factory before production to ensure normal use.


Overall, with its unique design and many advantages, drift windows bring convenience and comfort to people's lives, while also adding beauty and practicality to buildings. However, it should be noted that the price is relatively high, and the selection can be comprehensively considered based on the actual situation and personal needs.
