When choosing doors and windows in Malaysia, many homeowners only focus on price and appearance, but overlook a key factor – residential type. In fact, apartments and row houses have significant differences in structure, environment, and usage requirements, and the selection of doors and windows should also be different.
1、 Core Requirements for Apartment Doors and Windows (Urban Residential Buildings in Malaysia)
In cities such as KL and Penang, high-rise apartment doors and windows usually need to focus on:
Safety: High rise windows need to be prevented from accidentally opening
Sound insulation performance: Dealing with traffic and urban noise
Wind resistance capability: higher floors have stronger wind force
Appearance uniformity: Must meet the requirements of management
Therefore, apartments are more suitable for using aluminum alloy casement windows or fixed window systems with stable structure and good sealing.
2、 Key considerations for row house doors and windows
In areas with more row houses such as Johor and Seremban, the demand for doors and windows varies
Anti theft performance is more important
Waterproof design to cope with horizontal wind and rain
Higher ventilation demand
Large flexibility requirements for door and window dimensions
Homeowners of row houses tend to prefer customized Malaysian door and window solutions.
3、 Why can’t we use the same set of door and window schemes?
If the apartment door and window scheme is directly used for row houses, there may be insufficient anti-theft measures;
The use of row house doors and windows for high-rise apartments may not comply with safety or management regulations.
Professional Malaysian door and window manufacturers will provide differentiated designs based on residential types, rather than relying solely on a single solution.
4、 The practical advantages of local customization
Local customized doors and windows can:
Adjust configuration based on floor and environment
Better adaptation to Malaysia’s climate
Avoiding issues with later rectification
Enhance the overall living experience
That’s also why more and more local homeowners are choosing customized doors and windows instead of finished ones.
