When the storm comes, it brings a lot of inconvenience to life. For home security, there are also many hidden dangers. Especially in the case of low quality of doors and windows, staying home is not a safe choice.
During the stormy season, doors and windows with the following characteristics have high safety hazards:
1. Poor quality of aluminum
The quality of aluminum alloy doors and windows aluminum affects the solidity, pressure resistance, service life, etc. of doors and windows, so the state has relevant regulations on aluminum thickness, hardness, etc., such as the national standard aluminum alloy door and window profile thickness of 1.4mm. However, some door and window brands that fail quality inspection use doors and windows with aluminum thickness lower than national standards. When the storm rages and violently hits the doors and windows, the poor quality aluminum material can easily deform, causing the glass to break.
2. Glass is not safe
The relevant departments stipulate that the windows of buildings with 7 floors and above must be made of safety glass, that is, tempered glass. Because in addition to the advantages of strong wind pressure and difficult to break, tempered glass has the advantages of strong wind pressure and is not easy to break, in the face of violent impact of storms, the compressive performance of tempered glass is far beyond ordinary glass, and the risk of glass breaking can also be greatly reduced. In addition, even if the tempered glass is broken, it is broken into obtuse particles, which will not be as sharp as ordinary glass fragments. However, most of the door and window brands of safety glass is not unsafe, it is easy to bury safety hazards.
3. Inferior hardware accessories
Hardware accessories are good or bad is the key to whether the doors and windows are durable, some of the top ten brands of doors and windows will use high-quality imported hardware accessories to ensure quality. However, some door and window manufacturers use inferior and cheap hardware accessories in order to save costs. This inferior hardware accessory is prone to deformation, bending, tilting, rusting and other problems, and it is also easy to cause the doors and windows connected to it to appear shaking, water leakage, air leakage and other phenomena.
4. Old doors and windows
The 7 major safety hazards of the old doors and windows are more obvious: no sound insulation, no safety, no energy saving, no use, no beauty, air leakage, water leakage. It can be seen that the continuous use of old doors and windows has certain safety hazards: the aging of the rubber strip leads to the failure of the seal; the wear and rust of the accessories are easy to fall off; the glass also has the possibility of self-explosion; the window sash falls from a high altitude.
In order to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents, St. Paul's overall doors and windows call on the public to pay attention to the safety of doors and windows, and pay attention to the purchase and maintenance of doors and windows:
Select high-quality aluminum to ensure that the door and window frames are firm and reliable
The hardness and thickness of the aluminum material plays a decisive role in the firmness of the door and window frame, and the door and window frame is not deformed, so that there is enough support, so that the doors and windows will not fall off easily.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose high-quality primary aluminum. Compared with recycled aluminum, native aluminum has the characteristics of difficult cutting, strong resilience, and shiny cutting ports, and it is recommended that consumers can learn more about the knowledge of high-quality aluminum on the market before purchasing, consult the shopping guide for detailed information about aluminum, and measure the thickness of aluminum on the spot.
2. Identify the safety glass to avoid hurting people by glass fragments
Doors and windows to compete with typhoons and storms also need to be equipped with glass with sufficient strength. At present, the glass with high strength on the market is the 3C certified automotive grade tempered glass used in the overall doors and windows of St. Paul, which has a high silicon content, and under the same conditions, its impact strength is 5 to 10 times that of ordinary architectural grade glass (St. Paul's experimental data); when the glass is broken by force majeure, the fragments are fragmented with small obtuse angle particles, which can be broken but not scattered, bursting but not broken, avoiding the threat of self-explosion to personal safety of the tempered glass itself, and the safety factor is higher.
3. Pay attention to the details of hardware accessories and other details, choose high-quality doors and windows
Hardware accessories are the key components that determine the performance of doors and windows, and play an important role in the wind pressure resistance, air tightness, watertightness, sound insulation and heat insulation of doors and windows; the settings of guide rails, pulleys and lifting wheels will also affect the normal use of doors and windows, so it is recommended that everyone should be carefully selected and do not let go of any details.
4. Call for the old windows to be renewed and enjoy safe living
In view of the hidden dangers brought by old windows to users, The overall doors and windows of Saint-Paulo to improve the safety of windows as the starting point, launched the theme activity of "old window renewal • safe habitat": old windows are replaced by old windows, 2 hours new windows, do not destroy the decoration, that is, installed and lived, bringing great gospel to the old house.
