Sliding windows are a common type in home decoration. Despite having many advantages like flexible opening, easy cleaning, long lifespan, and wide vision, their sealing performance has always been a topic of discussion. Here are some ways to enhance the sealing performance.
1. High – Quality Sealing Fuzzy Strips
Sealing fuzzy strips are placed at the position of the rollers under the sliding window. When choosing the best sliding windows, pay attention to the length of the fuzzy strips. If they are too short, there will be air leakage and poor sound insulation; if too long, they will affect the sliding. High-quality sealing fuzzy strips should be firmly adhered, highly resilient, and free from issues like lack of fur, deformation, or unevenness. For example, MapleMiles windows and doors use siliconized fuzzy strips. These strips have stiff hairs, are durable, non-absorbent, and can greatly improve windproof, dust-proof and sealing effects.
2. Embedded Structure
Check if the sliding window has an embedded structure. An embedded structure not only has good sealing performance but also looks aesthetically pleasing. The sliding windows of MapleMiles use an embedded frame structure, which has excellent sealing and beauty. It can effectively block the invasion of wind and rain and add a sense of refinement to the home.
3. High-Low Tracks
Pay attention to the tracks, especially sliding large windows. Tracks are related not only to waterproofing but also to sealing. High – low tracks with a large height difference have better sealing performance. You can refer to the uniquely designed high – low tracks of MapleMiles. These tracks can quickly drain rainwater, prevent water from flowing into or seeping through the tracks due to water accumulation, improve the waterproof performance of the windows and doors, and create a more comfortable living space.
4. Installation
For the sealing effect of sliding windows, pay attention to the quality of the hardware and the treatment of the gaps between the window frame and the wall. During installation, use foam agent to fill the joints between the window frame and the wall and apply sealant. Also, pay attention to the gaps during window positioning to ensure sufficient use of foam agent and timely backfilling to guarantee the overall sealing performance.
In conclusion, by focusing on these aspects, you can significantly improve the sealing performance of sliding windows, making your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. As top window and door manufacturers, we’re able to provide a plan for you!
