How Can We Prevent The Falling of External Window Sashes

The risk of the window sash falling off cannot be avoided when the external window is in disrepair for a long time. This risk is evident in typhoon rainstorm weather and winter monsoon.

1 、 Anti-fall rope installation: details determine success or failure

(1) High-quality anti-fall ropes should be sturdy and durable and have strong rust-prevention capabilities. They are suitable for various hanging and casement windows. Therefore, the anti-fall rope product should have high strength, smooth sliding, and wear resistance. The rope should be made of stainless steel to increase the overall tensile strength and lifespan of the anti-fall system.

(2) The anti-fall rope must be installed on the rotating side of the external window and should not be installed below the rotating side. It should be installed as high as possible.

(3) The fixed base on the window frame should be higher than the fixed base on the window sash, and the distance should be manageable or short.

(4) Pay attention to the tightness of the screws in the anti-fall rope system, and check and maintain them regularly; Discover problems and handle them promptly.

In addition to the safety of the anti-fall rope, the safety details on the window also need to be carefully examined.

2 、 External window hinge: related to fall prevention and safety

The higher the floor, the more significant the impact of strong winds and heavy rain and the greater the risk of window sashes falling. Therefore, it is necessary to take protective measures for outdoor windows in various households. One point is to always keep track of the use of accidental window hinges. Once damaged accessories are found, they should be replaced promptly, and lubricating oil should be added regularly to ensure smooth use.

3、 Zhongting connection, the "top beam-column" under wind pressure resistance

More and more people are pursuing large-view doors and windows. However, when installing doors and windows, we should also recognize that the larger the size, the greater the demand for wind resistance performance. The key to improving the overall wind resistance performance of doors and windows is to make them stand upright. Generally speaking, windows over 1.8m in height should require reinforced mullions. The mullion's T-connection method should be connected using connectors. This design has a safety advantage in coastal typhoon areas or high-rise windy areas.

In addition to the strength of doors and windows themselves, the stability of their installation in openings also plays a crucial role in their safety. Reasonable installation methods, strict control of installation processes, and selection of high-quality and durable anchor components are also key areas that we need to pay attention to.

4 、 Glass safety is often overlooked in terms of fall prevention!

The external window and its fixed window glass should not be too large. The larger the glass area, the greater the pressure on the profile structure and the higher the probability of doors and windows shaking. Therefore, with the increase in the French window glass area, the thickness and strength of single glass should also be improved accordingly so that the glass has sufficient wind pressure resistance.
