  2022-11-29

At present, the most popular on the market are casement windows and sliding windows. The biggest difference between the two is that they are opened in different ways, and they also show different beauty when used for home decoration.

In the purchase of aluminum alloy doors and windows for broken bridges, because there are many categories of opening methods for broken bridge aluminum windows, many owners and friends often do not know what kind of doors and windows to choose. In fact, choosing doors and windows is also learned. Share the more popular broken bridge aluminum casement doors and windows and broken bridge aluminum sliding windows on the market.

Sliding windows and casement windows have their own advantages when using the same thickness of glass and accessories. The following is a detailed discussion of their respective characteristics in terms of appearance, performance, and use functions of doors and windows.

01 Appearance comparison

The main difference between the broken bridge aluminum casement window and the broken bridge aluminum sliding window lies in the style of the building.
The broken bridge aluminum casement window can be used to make any line façade effect because of its great flexibility of division, and for the floor-to-ceiling windows with large divisions, the opening fan only accounts for a small part of the whole window, so It is more suitable for high-end real estate with strict requirements on the overall effect of the building, especially in line with the architect's pursuit of a large-view, spacious and bright building with good transparency and a harmonious and smooth appearance.

The broken bridge aluminum sliding window can only be horizontally pushed and pulled, so it is difficult to match with the fixed glass of large divisions. Generally, it is more suitable for open factories or rural family buildings with clear horizontal and vertical lines, or kitchens and bathrooms. push and pull.

02 Comparison of wind pressure resistance

The wind pressure resistance of doors and windows depends on the resistance moment of the main force-bearing rod of the door and window. Usually, the larger the section of the profile, the larger the resistance moment, but it is not completely proportional.

Aluminum casement windows with broken bridges generally have a small profile section, but their main stress members are often spliced ​​or vertical materials. These main stress members will be strengthened accordingly during the design process, so they are resistant to wind pressure. Better performance.

The section of the broken bridge aluminum sliding window profile is generally relatively large, and it stands to reason that its wind pressure resistance should be better, but as long as a little in-depth force analysis shows that its main force member is often a middle fan material, and its upper and lower stiles Only rely on pulleys to bear the wind load in the horizontal direction, so the wind pressure resistance performance is generally not ideal.

03 Water tightness comparison

The watertightness of doors and windows depends on the sealing effect of the opening part. The broken bridge aluminum casement window is generally sealed with EPDM rubber strip, while the broken bridge aluminum sliding window is generally sealed with wool strip, and the sealing effect of the rubber strip is greatly improved. Due to the sealing effect of the top.

04 Air tightness comparison

In terms of air tightness, most of the opening fan parts of broken bridge aluminum casement windows on the market are locked and sealed with two-point locks or heaven and earth locks. The sealing effect is better, and the sound insulation effect is also significantly improved.
The aluminum sliding windows with broken bridges are generally locked by hook locks or latches, and there will be some gaps, and the sealing effect is not ideal.
Therefore, the broken bridge aluminum casement window is generally better than the broken bridge aluminum sliding window in terms of three properties. This is why most high-end commercial and residential buildings choose to use broken bridge aluminum casement windows.

05 Function comparison

In terms of use function, the broken bridge aluminum sliding window is favored by the majority of users because of its flexible opening and convenient and simple operation;
In contrast, broken bridge aluminum casement windows are generally connected by hinges (hinges), and are generally opened by handles, which are often not as flexible as sliding windows in operation. In fact, both casement windows and sliding windows have their own advantages and disadvantages. For consumers, the most important thing is to choose according to their own requirements. Just like sliding windows, they are more suitable for smaller windowsills, while casement windows are more suitable for smaller windowsills. It occupies a relatively small area, so it is suitable for some larger spaces.
Whether it is a casement window or a sliding window, the quotations of the broken bridge aluminum doors and windows are different. Consumers should choose according to their budget, and choose some doors and windows that are more suitable for themselves according to the real situation of their rooms, and carefully consider the details. Eventually there will be some better options.
