This article will take you on an exploration of the charm of windows with different opening methods. See which window type you prefer?

Uniquely Designed Micro ventilation window

Friendly reminder: If you prefer window types that can be opened over a large area, you can skip to the next window type now. Micro ventilation window are specifically designed for particular needs. The opening area of these windows is relatively small, usually achieved through top-hung or side-hung ventilation.

The design of Micro ventilation window helps maintain long-term indoor cleanliness. Despite the small opening area, they offer high safety performance, excellent thermal insulation, and better energy efficiency. Moreover, the small opening area means that the glass area accounts for a larger proportion. The large glass design enhances indoor lighting and offers a better view of the outdoors.

The primary design purpose of Micro ventilation window is to ensure benign air circulation indoors, making them suitable for spaces like study rooms and nurseries. If you often need to go out and cannot keep an eye on your little ones at home, Micro ventilation window can meet your ventilation needs while avoiding the risk of children getting sick due to direct cold drafts or accidental falls from windows out of curiosity.

Classic and Versatile Casement Windows

If you’re not very knowledgeable about design and are concerned that the windows you choose may not match your decoration style, then casement windows are the type that will never go wrong. Casement windows are a classic and versatile window type suitable for various home spaces.

The opening sash of casement windows is typically locked using multi-point hardware and reinforced with multiple sealing strips, providing superior sealing performance. As a result, the thermal insulation effect of casement windows is better than that of ordinary sliding windows on the market. Casement windows also come in inward-opening and outward-opening versions. Outward-opening windows do not occupy indoor space, while inward-opening windows installed on high floors provide higher safety. It is not recommended to install outward-opening casement windows in buildings over seven stories high.

Easy-to-Operate Sliding Windows

Sliding windows are opened by sliding the window sash horizontally left and right to achieve ventilation. The operation of sliding windows is very simple. They do not occupy indoor or outdoor space when opened or closed, nor do they affect the indoor layout.

Families with children don’t have to worry about children being hit or scratched by the opening window sash while playing. Sliding windows are also popular among many families for this reason. With an opening area accounting for 50% of the window, sliding windows provide good ventilation. They open and close sideways, do not occupy indoor or outdoor space, do not obstruct the use of curtains, facilitate daily clothes drying, and are relatively economical in price. They are suitable for environments such as balconies, kitchens, bathrooms, and staircases.

Electric Lift Windows – A Must-Have for the Lazy

Traditional windows, whether sliding or casement, always have aluminum frames and glass obstructing the view, limiting visual freedom. Electric lift windows break the traditional left-right opening method. With a fixed lower section and movable upper section, the opening area can reach 50%, providing an unobstructed, truly panoramic view without occupying space.

Modern electric lift windows can be opened with one-touch remote control, and the window sash opening area can be controlled freely. They also come with intelligent infrared anti-pinch sensors. If a hand enters the danger zone during the window sash’s movement, the system immediately stops the activity to prevent pinching. To lower the moving sash to a safe position and lock or unlock it, you need to press both buttons on the touchscreen simultaneously, enhancing safety for children.

Equipped with a standard rain sensor, the windows will intelligently close in case of rain when you’re out, keeping the indoors dry. An electric lift mosquito screen can also be added, integrating advanced drive and control systems, allowing integration with smart home modes and the entire smart home system.
