Top hinged windows: Single to four-panel options for contemporary homes

While high-rise apartments often favor sliding or awning windows to minimize wind pressure, hinged windows remain a preferred solution for townhouses and low-rise residential buildings. If you’re planning to install new windows, take a look at TOSTEM’s handpicked designs below for inspiration, featuring both functionality and style tailored to a variety of living spaces.

1. Advantages of hinged windows

In residential design, hinged windows have long been a familiar and trusted choice for Vietnamese homeowners. Below are some of the key advantages that make hinged windows a practical and attractive option:

• Hinged windows can open to a wide angle, allowing fresh air to circulate freely and naturally ventilate the room. This creates a comfortable indoor environment with a strong connection to the outdoors.
• Depending on the layout and space conditions, the windows can be configured to open inward or outward, offering flexibility in both design and usability.
• Modern hinged window systems come in a variety of opening angles to suit different lifestyle needs. For those who enjoy open, airy interiors, a window that opens up to 180 degrees is ideal for maximizing the openable area and enhancing the feeling of space. On the other hand, for those concerned about strong drafts, models with limited opening angles of 90 or 45 degrees can help control airflow while maintaining comfort.

Today, high-quality aluminum glass hinged windows are widely used in contemporary construction. These products are crafted from premium aluminum systems and safety glass, combining durability with elegant aesthetics. They offer excellent wind resistance, sound insulation, and thermal performance, making them a reliable solution for both residential and commercial applications.

2. Recommended hinged window dimensions according to Feng Shui principles

In Feng Shui, the dimensions of windows are determined using the Lo Ban ruler, which aligns window sizing with the homeowner’s personal energy and fortune. It is essential that the chosen measurements fall within auspicious (“Cat”) ranges and avoid inauspicious (“Hung”) zones to promote harmony and well-being within the home.

Below are commonly used window dimensions based on Feng Shui guidelines:

Standard hinged window dimensions:

• Recommended heights (cm): 59, 62, 69, 88, 89, 125, 133, 144.
• Corresponding widths (cm): 47, 61, 69, 85, 89, 108, 125, 126.

For bedrooms specifically, Feng Shui principles also consider the function of each room to determine the most suitable window sizes.

For standard bedrooms:

• Recommended height (cm): 190, 210, 230.
• Recommended width (cm): 82, 104, 124.

For bedrooms of grown-up children or guest rooms:

• Recommended height (cm): 190, 210, 230.
• Recommended width (cm): 85, 105, 120.

For children’s rooms (school-age):

• Recommended height (cm): 190, 210, 230.
• Recommended width (cm): 82, 106, 126.

In addition to traditional beliefs, window sizing in Vietnam also adheres to official architectural standards. The Ministry of Science and Technology has issued National Standard TCVN 7451:2004, which specifies recommended window dimensions for residential and interior spaces. Architects often reference these standards while also considering Feng Shui to ensure the overall harmony and functionality of the home.

Below are window size guidelines based on TCVN standards for outward or inward opening hinged windows:

Recommended dimensions for 2-panel hinged windows:

• Height (cm): 120, 130, 140, 170.
• Width (cm): 60, 110, 120, 130, 140.
