A newly built community library in Sydney, in order to create a quiet and comfortable reading environment while achieving the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection, strict selection was made for window selection, and vertical sliding windows were ultimately chosen.
Product selection: The vertical sliding window adopts three-layer laminated glass, which has excellent sound insulation effect and can effectively isolate the noise of the street outside the museum. The window frame is made of broken bridge aluminum material, which enhances the insulation performance. The sealing strip of the window has been specially designed to have excellent air and water tightness performance.
Application effect: After the library opened, readers generally reported that it was very quiet inside and could focus on reading and learning. Good thermal insulation performance also keeps the temperature and humidity in the library relatively stable, providing a good environment for the preservation of books, while reducing the energy consumption of the library and achieving the goal of green and environmentally friendly construction.
Ventilation and lighting: These types of windows are usually designed with two sliding sashes that can be flexibly adjusted in position and size, making it easy to control the ventilation volume. According to the needs of indoor personnel, only the upper or lower window sashes can be opened, or they can be opened simultaneously to achieve different degrees of natural ventilation. Meanwhile, the extensive glass design can fully introduce natural light, enhance indoor brightness, and create a comfortable living or working environment.
Security: Vertical sliding windows are generally equipped with reliable locking systems, which can effectively prevent illegal intrusion and ensure indoor safety. Moreover, modern vertical sliding windows can be made of multi-layer glass or special glass materials, which not only enhance the thermal insulation performance, but also improve the impact resistance of the window, and can withstand a certain degree of external impact, such as falling objects in storms.
Sound insulation and noise reduction: By using high-quality sealing materials and glass structures, vertical sliding windows can effectively block external noise from entering the interior, creating a quiet indoor space for users. This is particularly important for buildings located in areas with high noise pollution such as busy traffic routes and industrial zones.
