Because the sealing performance of casement windows is better than sliding windows, they have been loved by more and more family users. Many owners have replaced the original sliding windows with casement windows. Don’t think that casement windows are simple. There are still a lot of professional common sense in their design. Here I summarize some details that we often encounter. If we don’t pay attention to these details, they will affect the future use function and window life.
How high is the handle lock?
It is better to explain the position of the handle lock of the casement window when placing an order, so as to adjust the parameters in the design and processing. After all, they are customized according to the specific conditions of the owner. How high is the handle lock appropriate to open? Once a male owner who was 1.8 meters tall liked to install it higher, but when the designer came to see his wife who was only 1.5 meters tall, he changed his plan. Indeed, it is more important to understand the height of female owners in the design. Generally, female owners are 1.5-1.6 meters tall. If they wear slippers at home, they will be shorter and the lock will be higher. It is inconvenient for female owners to open and close the window sash, especially when the window sash is opened to a large angle, it requires the female owner’s body to protrude out of the window, which is not only laborious but also dangerous. But it is too low and inappropriate for male owners.
In general, the height of the handle lock from the ground should be near the shoulder of the female owner, usually about 1.4m. If the female owner is tall, it should be increased.
How wide is the casement
Some owners like large window sashes and think that the ventilation effect is good. In fact, there is little difference between the ventilation effect of larger and smaller window sashes. And what are the disadvantages of window sashes? First, the window sash is too heavy, which increases the load of sliding brace, hinge, hinge and other accessories, increases the friction, shortens the service life of accessories, and also increases the opening and closing resistance. Second, the handle lock stroke increases when the window sash is opened and closed, which requires more arms to stretch out, which will also increase the difficulty of opening and closing and increase the risk.
Generally, the window sash width of 6065 cm is more appropriate. Some owners want to be 75 cm wide, which will be a little too large.
It can be seen that there are many professional details to pay attention to from the design, processing and installation of casement windows. Once installed, it is difficult to change, so don’t be greedy. It’s best to choose a door and window enterprise with scale strength and technical strength, who will provide you with thoughtful consulting, design and installation services.
