Disadvantages

The disadvantage is that the sash can only be opened up to 50% and the airtightness is poor when closed. In recent years, there are improved sliding windows with new technology that allows multiple sashes to be pushed to the folded side. There are also sliding windows with improved airtightness, but overall they still do not meet the thermal performance of casement windows and have high energy consumption, so they are rarely used in developed countries.
