Which is better ? aluminium casement window or sliding window

According to the opening mode, Aluminum alloy doors and windows could be  classification two popular kinds: Casement window and sliding window.

aluminium sliding window      aluminium sliding window

Casement window hinge is installed on the door side inward or outward opening doors and windows; sliding door and window sash along the horizontal direction mainly refers to the vertical push and pull around windows and doors. Casement window and sliding window under the same glass and parts compared to the situation Each one has its advantage, following to the door and window appearance, performance, price and service function is described in detail in terms of their respective characteristics.

1. appearance:  With a look of casement windows, difference and sliding window is mainly with overall building style, the casement window because of its lattice are more flexible, can be opposite effect make any lines, and for large lattice windows, open fan account for only a small part of the whole window, so it is more suitable for the overall effect on the demand of the building more rigorous high-grade property, especially in accordance with the big points, architects pursuit of spacious bright, transparent effect is good, the appearance of smooth coordination architecture. Sliding window because its open door is the only horizontal sliding, fixed glass so difficult and great lattice matched, are generally more suitable for the opening of a clear line did plant or building rural family.

2.  Performance of windows and doors (wind-resistance, water tightness, air tightness):

casement window than common sliding window. The door and windows of the wind resistance performance depends on the doors and windows of force pole resistance moment, the bigger the profile section often resistance moment is larger, but not completely proportional. Casement windows usually section is smaller but the main mechanical lever to piecing material or material in vertical, the main force in the design process will be the corresponding enhancement processing, so the good performance of wind-resistance. Sliding window profile section is compared commonly big, arguably the wind resistance performance should be good, but as long as a little bit further stress analysis and then know its main force rod is often a fan of material, at the same time, load the stile by pulley to bear the horizontal wind, the period of wind performance generally not the ideal. Aout the watertight doors and windows depends on the open part of the sealing effect, casement windows usually uses the strip for sealing, and a sliding window generally use the top seal, glue sealing effect are better than the common seal tops. Open fan site more using two lock or the lock to lock the hermetic seal in the present market condition of casement windows, its sealing effect is better. And a sliding window typically use the hook lock or latch lock, the sealing effect is not ideal. So the casement window can generally better than sliding window in nature. This is also the most high-grade commercial buildings have the option of using the casement window location.

3. Price: same grade casement windows and sliding windows have little difference, the casement window should be slightly higher than the sliding window.

4.  the use of functions: sliding window for open and flexible, convenient and simple operation and favored by the majority of users; in contrast the casement window because of the generally used hinge (hinge) connected, open the handle to open, in the operation is not flexible push-pull window.

5.  in the processing of production: sliding window usually has the advantages of simple structure, no special requirements on the equipment, so that the processing is convenient to small workshop or field production; because of the window sash casement window generally adopts aluminum alloy bracket are connected, so need better ram machine to produce aluminum alloy casement is excellent. To sum up, flat open window in a better performance than the sliding window, the sliding window in the manufacture and operation are superior to the casement window.

Because of this reason above, casement window is widely applied in city commercial building, office building, high-grade residential, villas, high-grade building, and a sliding window is widely used in industrial plants, rural residential low buildings.
