Frame Materials
Aluminum Alloy: It has the advantages of high strength, corrosion – resistance, and aesthetic appearance and is a relatively common frame material at present. The prices of aluminum alloy window frames with different models, thicknesses, and surface – treatment processes vary. For example, the price of aluminum alloy casement windows with thicker walls and advanced surface – treatment processes such as electrophoretic coating or fluorocarbon spraying is relatively high. The texture of aluminum alloy is generally good, it has a relatively long service life, and has strong compressive resistance and is not easy to bend. For example, some residences are near the seaside. Before a storm comes, the wind is very strong. However, this kind of aluminum alloy window frame will not bend even in the face of strong winds and has good compressive performance.
PVC – Steel: It has good heat – insulation and thermal – insulation performance and a relatively moderate price. Its quality is affected by the profile formula, production process, etc. The price of casement windows with high – quality PVC – steel profiles is higher than that of ordinary PVC – steel profiles. Generally speaking, the profile price of 60 – series PVC – steel casement windows is between 30 and 50 yuan per meter. As for PVC – steel, it has excellent heat – insulation and thermal – insulation performance. In hot summer, the installation of PVC – steel materials can effectively insulate heat. Even if it’s very hot outside, the indoor temperature can still remain relatively stable. For another example, in cold winter, after the installation of PVC – steel, no matter how cold it is outside, there is no need to worry about the outside temperature penetrating, and the room can maintain a relatively warm temperature. If the area where you live or work is relatively cold, it is highly recommended that you install this kind of casement window with PVC – steel properties so that you don’t have to worry about the low temperature outside penetrating anymore.
Broken – Bridge Aluminum: Based on aluminum alloy, the indoor and outdoor aluminum alloy profiles are separated by a thermal – insulation strip, which effectively prevents heat conduction and has better heat – insulation and thermal – insulation performance. Therefore, the price is also more expensive than that of ordinary aluminum alloy casement windows. The price of ordinary broken – bridge aluminum casement windows on the market is about 320 – 450 yuan per square meter, the price of medium – grade materials is about 1000 – 1200 yuan per square meter, and the price of relatively high – quality broken – bridge aluminum casement windows is about 2500 – 5000 yuan per square meter. This kind of broken – bridge aluminum is also a commonly – used material for casement windows. The advantage of broken – bridge aluminum is that it has good heat – insulation and thermal – insulation performance and good performance. Casement windows made of this material can be installed in extremely cold or extremely hot regions.
Solid Wood: The material is natural and environmentally – friendly, has good decorative and heat – preservation performance, but the price is high, and it needs regular maintenance. Otherwise, it is prone to deformation, cracking and other problems. There are also customers who like solid – wood furniture, but solid wood is not easy to preserve and is prone to decay. For example, it may be bitten by insects, eroded by rain on rainy days, and it is necessary to maintain and repair solid – wood windows all year round, which is also a considerable expense. If it is installed in office buildings or high – end apartments, villas, it is not recommended to use solid wood for installation because of its low cost – performance ratio. And the casement window with glass is more in line with the style of high – end apartments and office buildings and conforms to the style of these places. Generally, those who install solid – wood ones are customers who like the new – Chinese style. At present, glass casement windows are more popular.
Glass Configuration
Glass Types: The price of ordinary glass is relatively low, while insulating glass, laminated glass, Low – E glass, etc. have better sound – insulation, heat – preservation, heat – insulation, and ultraviolet – proof performance and the price is relatively high. For example, the cost price of 5 – millimeter double – layer insulating toughened glass is about 200 yuan per square meter, and the brand – name system – window glass is about 300 to 400 yuan. If the thickness is increased to 8 millimeters, it is about 500 to 600 yuan per square meter. There are many types of glass. For example, flat glass and special – purpose glass are all available for customers to choose from. According to the needs of customers, the glass suitable for customers is recommended.
Glass Thickness: The greater the glass thickness, the higher the strength and the higher the price. For example, 8 – millimeter – thick glass is stronger than 5 – millimeter – thick glass, can better withstand external impact, and the price is also more expensive, usually about 30 yuan more expensive per square meter. For areas with extreme weather, it is recommended to install thicker glass, which helps to isolate the cold outside weather. In summer, even if the temperature is high, there is no need to worry about the heat wave, so that the indoor temperature remains relatively comfortable, improving your quality of life and creating a five – star – level home for you.
Glass Brands: The original glass sheets of well – known brands, such as CSG and Xinyi, have more guaranteed quality and performance, and the price is also higher than that of ordinary – brand glass. For the selection and choice of glass brands, the selection of more well – known and thicker glass also needs to be selected according to needs. For example, the window glass used in the bathroom is generally frosted, that is, blurred and not completely transparent. The characteristics of the bathroom determine that such glass must be installed in the bathroom. Therefore, some windows are installed in rooms, some in sunrooms, and some in office buildings. The installation of glass should be determined according to the customer’s economic budget, demand characteristics, and specific installation location.
Hardware Accessories
Brands and Quality: Imported or well – known – brand hardware accessories, such as the HOPO handle from Germany and the Siegenia – Aubi transmission system from Germany, have reliable quality and long service life, but the price is high; while the price of domestic ordinary – brand hardware accessories is relatively low.
Opening Methods: Different opening methods have different requirements and costs for hardware accessories. For example, the hardware accessories of inward – opening casement windows are relatively simple and the price is low; while the hardware accessories of outward – opening casement windows, inward – opening and inward – tilting windows and other special opening methods are more complex and the price is also relatively high.
