Liukuvoitret

Liukuvoitret is a Finnish term that translates to "sliding windows" in English. It refers to a type of window designed with sashes that move horizontally past each other, either side-by-side or one within a track. This mechanism distinguishes them from casement windows, which open outwards or inwards on hinges, and from vertical sliding windows, where sashes move up and down.

The primary advantage of liukuvoitret is their space-saving design. Because they don't require clearance for swinging open, they are ideal for rooms with limited space or for areas where furniture or other obstacles might impede the operation of hinged windows. They also offer good ventilation control, as the opening can be adjusted to specific widths.

Liukuvoitret are commonly found in modern architecture and renovations, particularly in kitchens, balconies, and patios. They can be constructed from various materials, including wood, aluminum, and uPVC, and are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different building styles and functional requirements. The smooth operation and aesthetic simplicity make them a popular choice for contemporary homes.
