indows and doors are essential for every home and
one cannot imagine a home without it. If you are
renovating your home or just buying a new one you
cannot ignore the fact that the door or window will make a huge
difference to how the home looks or how secure it is. Security,
style, and beauty are essential when selecting the right kind of
window or door.
Casement Windows
Casement windows provide the full opening space compared
to sliding windows and therefore better ventilation can be
assured. Further to that casement windows due to the gasket
sealing give better noise reduction compare to Sliding windows
even if only a single glass is used. With the right hinges in
windows can take a load from up to 80 kg per panels and for
doors up to 120kg per panel.
Tilt and Turn
Best option if the inner space allows the opening towards
inside the room. In the Tilt and Turn Window, the outside air
is channeled through the sides of the window while hotter air
escapes through the top. If the windows are kept in the Turning
positions it will open completely and so cleaning of the glass
becomes easier. These windows will also have the multi-point
locking mechanism to keep the frame from twisting or bending.
Smart Windows
With technology moving at a fast pace one has to be in tune
with times. A smart window will solve your problems like security,
beauty and makes your life easy. Information is received on your
mobile phone and you won’t have to worry. These windows are
so efficient it will share information about the weather outside
or pollution or tell you when the filter of the air purifier needs
to be changed.
Sliding Windows
This is ideal if the space is small or narrow. Easy to clean and
use. Lets ample amount of light to get in and provides good
ventilation.Selecting the right kind of windows and doors would
also include other factors like an experienced and reliable
fabricator who is certified or the kind of material used. Further
to that sliding can be fabricated in much larger panels compare
to Casement windows and while using the special systems like
lift and slide the weight per glass panel can be up to 300kg.
Glass Conservatory
People who live in the cities have less pace and with space
becoming smaller and one wants to enhance the look of the
place.The glass conservatory is also a good option one can look
at. It provides shading like a motorized sunblind which prevents
direct sunlight from getting in and it can be easily be controlled
through an app without any hassle.
What is your door made of?
This is a crucial question one needs to keep in mind. Should
you opt for a uPVC, Aluminium or wood. It is best to opt for a
UPVC door as it lasts longer and is easy to maintain.
You can surely talk to you window fabricator who should be
able to share information. Selecting the right kind of fabricator is
equally important as he will guide you selecting the right option
your home will need. Ensure the company is certified and follows
