FRAMES AND WINDOWS VASISTAS
The daily need to open a window without opening it completely gave life to the Vasistas (or flap) windows, an opening solution similar to the casement one with the difference in the sense of opening, which in this case is on the vertical axis.
Almost all of the windows and bottom hinged windows have hinges on two sides of the window which allow it to be opened either hinged or hinged, choosing the desired or necessary mode.
The function of windows with Vasistas opening consists mainly of air circulation and the passage of sunlight. The limitation of the opening can be a defect in some circumstances, but it is an advantage if we consider the position in which this kind of windows is often inserted.
VASISTAS WINDOWS AND FIXTURES: PVC, ALUMINUM AND WOOD
All manufacturers of windows and fixtures have recognized an indispensable element in the Vasistas system, for this reason we can now have vasistas windows made of every material: wood, PVC, aluminum and the various combined solutions.
The opening of a traditional hinged door requires some space while a bottom hung opening protrudes from the frame by only 10-15cm. From here we understand the great advantage of adopting the bottom-hung windows for one’s own home, especially if chosen for narrow environments or with limited space available.
There are models of bottom-hung windows complete with accessories such as opening systems that reduce the effort for opening or automation mechanisms for these windows, ideal for motorizing particularly heavy windows.
