What options are available in terms of window opening types?
There are many different options for opening windows, and the choice depends on your preferences, building style, functionality and available space. Here are some common types of window openings:
Wide opening: This is a traditional way of opening windows, where the sash opens to the outside of the building, with a hinge located on the side edge. Opening wide is simple and allows good ventilation, but can limit the space outside.
Opening on the sash: The sash of the window opens to the side, usually by means of hinges placed on one of the edges. This is a popular way to open windows, which provides good ventilation and allows easy cleaning of the outer surface of the glass.
Tilt opening: Tilt windows open outwards at the top edge, allowing fresh air access without opening the entire window. This type of opening is especially useful for small rooms or where there is limited outdoor space.
Tilt and slide opening: This is an advanced opening system that allows the windows to tilt or slide. The sash of the window can be opened tilted or moved to the side, thanks to which you can adjust the air flow and make the most of the available space.
Pivot opening: Pivot windows function like doors, swinging side to side with hinges. This type of opening is especially popular for terrace or balcony windows, where easy access to the open space is important.
Roof opening: Roof windows are installed in sloping roof surfaces and open upwards. They allow access to natural light and ventilation in the attic or rooms under a sloping roof.
Sliding opening: Sliding windows have a sash that slides along special guides. They can be opened to the side or horizontally, depending on the design. This type of opening is particularly useful when outdoor space is limited or large windows are needed.
These are just a few examples of the types of window openings. It is worth consulting with the window manufacturer or specialist to choose the best option, taking into account the needs and conditions of a particular installation.
