Features of Top Hung Windows in Telangana
1. Rain Protection and Ventilation.
Due to being hinged on the top, the sash tilts at the bottom side. The design enables the flow of air inside the house and the outward-leaning sash serves as a kind of small awning: the dust or rain cannot enter the house easily.
In the case of Telangana: This assists in the airflow during the monsoon or humid seasons when the heavy rains are not supposed to enter the house.
2. Space-efficient and High Wall Placement.
Top -hung windows may be mounted higher on the wall and they do not swing into the room (at least not so much).
This is an advantage in the city of Telangana where people have to consider the space on walls and positioning of furniture.
3. Security and Safety Advantage.
Since the window opens outward on the bottom as opposed to swinging wide as a side hung casement, then it is not as easy to intrude into it. Also the increased position and small opening clearance contribute to safety.
That additional security is an advantage in the case of ground-floor or semi-elevated houses in Telangana.
4. Good Sealing & Thermal/Weather Performance.
With these windows when closed up, they usually offer good sealing of air and water leakage (depending on the material and hardware being used). They are used to assist in insulation, limit noise and heat penetration.
Cutting down heat ingress in a hot environment such as in Telangana will lead to increased comfort in the indoors and possible energy savings.
5. Minimum Maintenance / Low Maintenance Materials.
Most of the top-hung windows are made of such materials as uPVC or aluminium powder-coated, which are not only resistant to corrosion/rot etc. but also do not need much maintenance.
In heat and dust prone areas (such as Telangana) this is an effective advantage.
6. Customisation & Aesthetics
These windows are available in different frame material (uPVC, aluminium), finishes, colour, glass (tinted, laminated, low-E) and sizes thus it is applicable in modern architecture, villas, apartments etc.
Assuming you have a modern appearance in your house in Telangana, then this flexibility will enable you to match the aesthetic.
7. Improved IAQ / Stack Effect Ventilation.
Since the opening is located at the bottom (the top hinge is held fixed) warm air at near ceiling level is able to leave and colder air is able to enter.
In warm/ damp locations such as Telangana, natural ventilation should be utilized to minimize the use of AC as well as minimize consumption of energy.
8. Appropriate in Wet / Humid Conditions and in High Placement.
They are effective in such an environment when rain, wind, and humidity are significant. The exterior lean eliminates water intrusion and the elevated/elevated position eliminates street-level dust or security issues.
This type suits best Telangana where monsoon rains and humidity are sources of concer
