With the continuous advancement of technology and innovation, the market has witnessed an increasing variety of door and window products. Various types such as sliding, casement, folding, and lifting windows have left consumers feeling dazzled. Purchasing new window models might concern some due to high prices and potentially unproven technology. Opting for older models might feel outdated, potentially detracting from the overall home aesthetics. If you too are baffled by the plethora of window types and unsure how to make a selection, I have compiled a list of the four most purchased window types in 2024. Let’s delve into why these four windows have become the most popular choices this year. Without further ado, let’s begin.

First Window Type: Sliding Window

This is a highly common window type. Sliding windows operate by moving the sash horizontally left or right to open and close, facilitating ventilation. Sliding windows are extremely easy to operate and do not occupy indoor or outdoor space when opening or closing, nor do they interfere with indoor layout. Families with children need not worry about children being hit or scratched by opening sashes. Sliding windows are thus welcomed by many households for this reason.

Sliding windows are ideal for areas that require frequent ventilation but where the opening sash should not interfere with the indoor layout. Smaller homes, balconies, kitchens, and other spaces can all benefit from sliding windows. If you aim to maximize your indoor space, trust me, go for sliding windows.

Second Window Type: Tilt-and-Turn Window

Compared to sliding windows, tilt-and-turn windows are a newer type, but their manufacturing technology is quite mature. Tilt-and-turn windows combine both inward-opening and tilt-in (top-hinged) functionalities. They can open like a traditional casement window or tilt inwards from the top, like a hopper window. The tilt feature not only enables gentle ventilation but also prevents rain and dust from entering. Additionally, when set to tilt mode, only a small opening at the top is accessible, making it impossible for someone to enter or open from the outside, enhancing security. Families with children need not overly worry about accidental falls due to climbing.

Tilt-and-turn windows are better suited for homes with high ventilation and security needs, especially those with elderly and young children, as well as high-rise residents. Have you experienced indoor water intrusion due to forgotten windows in rainy areas? With tilt-and-turn windows, this worry is eliminated. By setting the window to tilt mode when leaving, you can ensure no rainwater enters while maintaining indoor air quality.

Third Window Type: Casement Window

Casement windows are the most common and traditional among the four types. If there were an annual award for the most popular window type, casement windows would undoubtedly be on the list. Casement windows feature sashes connected to the frame via hinges, offering inward and outward opening options. Inward-opening casement windows occupy indoor space when open, and outward-opening ones are not recommended for buildings over seven stories. Unlike sliding windows, casement windows can open fully, providing large ventilation areas, excellent lighting, and superior overall performance.

Casement windows are versatile, suitable for various living environments and climates. They are particularly suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas requiring ample ventilation and good views.

Fourth Window Type: Micro-Ventilation Window

Micro-ventilation windows are also a newer type, potentially unfamiliar to some. Designed for specific needs, these windows offer limited ventilation, usually through top-hinged or side-opening sashes. The design ensures indoor air circulation while avoiding safety hazards associated with large openings.

Micro-ventilation windows are ideal for spaces requiring certain air quality standards but not frequent heavy ventilation, such as studies and nurseries. Their primary purpose is to facilitate healthy air circulation, ensuring fresh air for unoccupied or elderly/child-occupied spaces while preventing accidental falls and providing security against theft.
