Popular Post AirwickWithCheese Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 31, 2021 I have an idea for a new window type. A sliding window that completely opens up like a French casement. Unlike sliders now which just like double hung windows limit you to less than half the air flow and space. An Airwick window will slide left and right disappearing into the wall leaving you the enjoyment of complete airflow and view. It eliminates the protruding you get from casements for those of you unable to keep yourself from walking into windows. No pictures yet as I am the idea department but need help with the actual implementation. Cheese 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted July 31, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 31, 2021 Those are called pocket windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted July 31, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 31, 2021 We did not spring for fancy casements in our house. I will tell you that the airflow here is so strong that it wants to pull the door out of your hands and slam the door. Our home is almost at the top of a hill and it is exposed and windy. We can open the back two sliders and crack a front window and you get a wind tunnel effect. I like the airflow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 31, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 31, 2021 If that describes a pocket door I think calling them a pocket window makes sense. I think there would be pretty significant implementation and cost problems, but they can start oot as a niche for the riche, like Teslas and such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted July 31, 2021 Share #8 Posted July 31, 2021 Oops! The term is taken for replacement windows. What is a pocket window? Pocket replacements allow you to keep the original frame, trim, siding, and casing intact, and are commonly used when homeowners want to replace a worn window with a new window that's the same size, and the current window frame is still square, level, and in good condition.Jan 4, 2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are correct, it can't be called a pocket window. And it can't be used for room length window installations, unless you have it less than half the wall height and have it drop down I 'spose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted July 31, 2021 Share #11 Posted July 31, 2021 But where will the Airwick room deodorizer fit if the window slides into the wall. Actually, "pocket" would be the most appropriate and mis-used by current usage. I love pocket sliding doors as totally into the wall with clear view of the entire outside. Better yet...no reflection of my flash off the glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are now in charge of the prototype production. 9 pane each side triple glazed cottage windows with built in exterior hooks for flower window boxes.

AirwickWithCheese Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted July 31, 2021 This but now both windows slide and disappear into the wall. I think it might also be nice to have 1 version where the windows slide on the exterior sort of like shutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 31, 2021 Share #14 Posted July 31, 2021 Of course the pocket will have no insulation in it so the walls on either side of the windows will be unsuitable for cold or extreme heat. They would look good, but there's a reason they haven't been done already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirwickWithCheese Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share #15 Posted July 31, 2021 Actually no. Knowing this is the goal insulated sips on both of the sides of the wall opening could be built into the wall. The window slides into the insulated panels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
