How To Distinguish Between Types Of Casement Windows?

Internal Casement Window And External Casement Window
Opening direction
Inner Casement Window: The window sash opens to the interior.
Outside Casement Window: The sash opens to the outside.
Performance characteristics

(I)Ventilation Effect
Inner Casement Window: When open, it can make the indoor air form natural convection, and the ventilation effect is better. However, in some cases, it may occupy indoor space and affect the indoor arrangement.
Outer Casement Window: It does not occupy the indoor space when it is opened, which is conducive to the use of indoor space. At the same time, the external casement window can avoid rainwater directly into the room to a certain extent, but in strong windy weather, the window sash may be affected by the larger wind force.

(II) Sealing performance
Inner Casement Window: usually adopts multi-channel sealing design, which has better sealing performance and can effectively block the intrusion of rainwater, dust and noise.
External Casement Window: due to the window sash opening outwards, the installation position of the sealing tape is relatively more complicated, the sealing performance may be slightly inferior to the internal casement windows. However, with the continuous progress of technology, the sealing performance of external casement windows is also improving.
(III) Safety performance
Internal Casement Window: the window sash is opened indoors, relatively safe, not easy to be damaged by external forces. At the same time, it can also avoid the risk of children climbing on the window and accidentally falling.
Outside Casement Window: the window sash opens outside, there are certain safety hazards. For example, in strong winds, the window sash may be blown down; during installation and maintenance, the operator is also required to work outdoors, which increases the safety risk.
Applicable Scenarios
Inner Casement Window: Inner casement window suitable for places with high requirements for indoor space, focusing on sealing performance and safety performance, such as residential bedrooms and study rooms.
Outer Casement Window: Outer casement window applicable to the demand for the use of outdoor space, hoping not to occupy indoor space places, such as balconies, terraces, etc..

Single Casement Window And Double Casement Window
Structural Characteristics
Single Casement Window: Single casement window composed of a window and window frame, relatively simple structure.
Double Casement Window: Double casement window consists of two sashes and window frames, which can be opened in pairs or left and right panning.

Performance characteristics
(I)Ventilation Effect
Single Casement Window: The opening area is relatively small, and the ventilation effect is limited.
Double Casement Window: The opening area is larger, which can achieve better ventilation effect. In particular, the double casement window can form a larger ventilation channel, so that the indoor air circulation is smoother.
(II)Lighting Performance
Single Casement Window: Due to the small area of the sash, the lighting performance is relatively weak.
Double Casement Window: The window sash area is larger, can introduce more natural light, improve indoor lighting effect.
(III)Sealing Performance
Single Casement Window: The installation position of the sealing strip is relatively simple, and the sealing performance is good.
Double Casement Window: Because there are two sashes, the installation position of the sealing tape is relatively complicated, and the sealing performance may be affected to some extent. However, through reasonable design and installation, the sealing performance of double casement windows can be ensured.
Applicable Scenarios
Single Casement Window: Single casement window suitable for small window size, ventilation and lighting requirements are not high places, such as bathrooms, storage rooms and so on.
Double Casement Windows: Double casement window suitable for places with larger window size and higher requirements for ventilation and lighting, such as living rooms and bedrooms.

In summary, there are certain differences between different types of casement windows in terms of opening direction, structural features, performance characteristics and application scenes. When choosing casement windows, according to the actual demand and use of the scene, comprehensive consideration of various factors, choose the most suitable type of casement windows.
