How to choose the right window?

2025,07,10

Compared with tiles, wardrobes, bathrooms, etc., windows do not seem to have much impact on the overall style of home decoration, and therefore are often easily overlooked during the decoration process. However, windows affect indoor ventilation, sound insulation, and even the privacy and safety of residents. Not only that, the choice of materials and opening methods for windows is also "varied", and how to choose the right windows is actually a "technical job".

1. Types and characteristics of windows

According to the opening method of windows, common window types include casement doors and windows, sliding windows, lifting windows, fixed windows, etc., while the plastic steel windows and Aluminum Alloy Windows mentioned more often in daily life refer to the materials of doors and windows.

Among them, casement doors and windows are more traditional types of doors and windows, and their opening and closing methods are similar to doors. Therefore, for casement windows, regardless of whether they are opened outward or inward, designers need to predict the space required for the blades outside the wall through the rotation radius of each window.

Sliding windows control the size of the window opening by moving the window left and right through the sliding rails. Lifting windows are similar to sliding windows, but they are controlled by pushing and pulling up and down.

As the name implies, fixed windows are fixed windows that cannot be moved or opened. The most obvious feature of fixed windows is that they neither protrude from the wall nor have ventilation functions. Therefore, fixed windows are usually used in functional scenarios, such as lighting, introducing specific landscapes, connecting the interior and the exterior, etc.

2. How to choose the right window?

The right one is the best. Windows with different opening and closing methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. When making a choice, we also need to fully consider the characteristics of the application scenario and actual needs to make a choice.

For example, casement windows have the advantages of good wind resistance and high air tightness, but they take up more space when opened and closed, so they are suitable for spaces with large areas and high requirements for air tightness and transparency, such as offices and study rooms.

Sliding windows and lifting windows do not take up extra space when opening and closing, which can effectively increase the indoor brightness and are suitable for small spaces, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Fixed windows cannot be opened and closed, but have good air tightness and water tightness. They are very suitable for spaces that do not require ventilation but have high lighting requirements. Of course, it is also a good choice to install them with other windows.

The lighting, sound insulation, ventilation, etc. in the home environment are all related to windows. A suitable window can greatly enhance our sense of happiness in life.
