Glazing is an important stage in the renovation of any living space, and for this, windows can be used that differ in size, design, glass unit thickness, design and other features. A double-leaf window is a type of product that is most often used for glazing houses and apartments and combines optimal size, ease of use and reasonable cost.

What is a double-leaf plastic window?

This design consists of a pair of leaves, one of which is deaf, and the second can be opened. This type of windows is the most popular for most buildings: glazing with their help is well suited for residential, technical and office spaces alike. By the type of opening, windows with two sashes are divided into the following types:

• Swivel type. Double-leaf plastic windows have a sash that opens by swinging inward or outward, they are distinguished by a reasonable cost, simplicity of construction and convenience. The disadvantage of products of this kind is considered to be the limitation of space inside: because of the swing mechanism on the windowsill, it becomes difficult to hold things or plant flowers, since when airing the sash is opened completely.

  

• Swing-out models. These windows are capable not only of swinging open: the sash can be folded back to ventilate the premises. This design is more compact and convenient, the windows themselves are safer than the previous type, since the risk of pets or children falling out of the window is reduced. In the opening mode, the double-glazed window can be washed, and in the tilt position, the double-leaf plastic window allows natural ventilation of the room. Such structures are installed in bedrooms, living rooms, private rooms, kitchens, etc.

  

• Sliding windows. The model implies opening the sash by moving it parallel to the fixed part. Such glazing is typical for small rooms, loggias and balconies, where it is important to save personal space as much as possible.
