At the 2022 Smart Door and Window Competition, a voice-controlled door and window attracted everyone\’s attention.

It can automatically open and close doors and windows according to the owner\’s voice, and it is responsive and very convenient to use.

With the advancement of technology, more and more smart products have entered our daily lives, and smart doors and windows are becoming more and more popular.

However, there are many broken bridge aluminum doors and windows on the market today, and owners often don’t know how to choose them when decorating, and they worry about regretting the purchase or being cheated.

Now I will share with you the tips for selecting doors and windows based on my 8 years of experience as a door and window store manager, so that you can avoid detours when purchasing.

Look at the profile first.

The best-selling doors and windows on the market generally consist of four parts, among which profiles are the most important and core part.

Different types of profiles affect the performance, price and other aspects of doors and windows, so be sure to check them carefully when choosing!

1. Ordinary aluminum alloy

Ordinary aluminum alloy profiles have two characteristics:

First, they are relatively cheap; Low cost;

Second, the thermal insulation performance is poor, which may be the original intention of its design, because aluminum alloy can ensure the \”isolation\” action to a greater extent, but the thermal insulation performance of aluminum alloy itself is very poor, which may On the contrary, it becomes a greater degree of \”compensation\”

If the climate warms later and the earth gradually becomes hotter, then this aspect will be better offset to a certain extent

2. Broken bridge aluminum

\”Broken Bridge\” It refers to the broken part of the aluminum alloy structural design. This design can greatly improve the heat insulation and sound insulation effects of aluminum alloy, so it is widely used in buildings, homes, vehicles, etc.

3. Plastic steel windows

Plastic steel refers to polyvinyl chloride that is melted at high temperature and then cooled into A kind of material whose main characteristics are strong processing performance, good toughness, high strength, good impact resistance and strong aging resistance.

Plastic steel windows have good sound insulation and thermal insulation properties, but It should be noted that plastic steel windows are easy to deform, so when choosing, you should choose products from some well-known brands, so as to ensure the quality of plastic steel windows.

4. Aluminum-wood combined window

Aluminum-wood combined window is a type of window that combines aluminum alloy and wood. Its advantages are: You can enjoy the strength and durability of aluminum alloy with the beauty and natural feel of wood

When choosing aluminum-wood combined windows, pay attention to the type and quality of the wood, which will directly affect the service life and appearance of the window.

Glass

Glass type will also affect the price and performance of windows. Different types of glass have different characteristics and performance, so you need to consider them carefully when purchasing. !

1. Single-layer glass

Single-layer glass is the most common type of glass, but its sound insulation effect is poor and it can only prevent wind and rain.

If you live in a noisy or busy place. , I recommend not choosing single-layer glass

2. Double-layer insulating glass

Double-layer insulating glass is made of a layer of air or inert gas sealed between two layers of glass.

The advantage of this kind of glass is that it has very good sound insulation effect and is better windproof and rainproof, but the price is also relatively expensive.

If conditions permit, it is recommended Choose double-layer insulated glass

3. Laminated glass

Laminated glass is made of PVB sandwiched between two layers of glass. Special safety glass made of film.

This kind of glass is not only highly safe, but also has good sound insulation effect, so you don’t have to worry about wind and rain.

Opening methods

There are four main ways to open doors and windows:

1. Casement windows

Casement windows, also known as inside-outside windows, are a common The conventional opening method has its blades moving parallel to the direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame.

The casement window has good sealing performance and wind pressure resistance, but the disadvantage is that it requires a certain amount of space when opening. , can\’t take up too much area

2. Sliding window

Sliding window, also known as sliding window, is a special structure that allows a certain space to be installed and installed along the A door or door that slides open along the parallel track of the frame Two-sash windows.

Sliding windows do not take up much space because they only need to be pushed and pulled along the track.

But the sealing of sliding windows is relatively poor. , it is easy to get stuck during use

3. Top-hung window

A top-hung window, also known as an everted window, is a window with blades that open outward. The method is similar to a car sunroof.

Top-hung windows have good ventilation performance when partially opened, while bottom-hung windows are easily soaked by rain, so they are generally not recommended.

4. Folding window

A folding window, also known as a folding door, is a multi-wing window that folds and opens along a trajectory. It has a large ventilation area, but it requires a certain amount of space and cannot be completely sealed in the folded state.

Extended perspective

1. Consider the requirements of future environmental changes on thermal insulation performance With the global warming trend, more extreme climate conditions may occur in the future. Therefore, when purchasing broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, you can consider future environments that have higher requirements for thermal insulation performance.

2. Smart technology applications. With the development of technology, smart homes will change our traditional lifestyle. Therefore, when purchasing broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, you can consider smart technology applications, such as remote control and safety notifications. and other functions to make the home environment safer and more convenient.

3. Environmentally friendly materials, due to global population growth and accelerated urbanization, buildings The demand for materials will increase, which will lead to a shortage of traditional materials. Therefore, when purchasing broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, you can consider environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled plastic materials, to meet future construction needs.

4. Social media feedback, as consumers are increasingly paying attention to product quality and service quality, many merchants have begun to display customer satisfaction on social media platforms and feedback to attract more potential customers. When purchasing broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, you can check social media feedback to understand the actual use of the product and avoid being misled by the merchant.

When purchasing broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, you need to focus on the following aspects:

1. Sealing material: Consumers may pay attention to the number of sealing passes, but in fact The number of sealing passes is only a reference indicator. It is more important to pay attention to the quality of the sealing material itself and whether it has been installed correctly.

Consumers can confirm the quality by asking the manufacturer what kind of materials they use.

2. Quotation list:Merchant quotations may hide additional costs, so consumers need to ask merchants to provide a detailed quotation list, including the individual price of each component and all taxes, to confirm that the final price is transparent and reasonable.

3. Hardware and profile wall thickness: Hardware is an important component that affects the opening and closing effect of broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, so consumers should give priority to high-quality hardware produced by well-known brands. Moreover, the wall thickness of the profile is also very important. Thinner wall thickness will reduce the strength and durability of doors and windows, so thick-walled profiles should be given priority when purchasing.

The right choice is the real \”right choice\”!

I hope that the experiences I have summarized can help friends who are renovating to make wise decisions.
