Casement windows add a touch of elegance and functionality to your home. Hinged on one side and operated with a crank handle, they provide enhanced ventilation and unobstructed views. They also make a great egress window for bedrooms and basements.
Choosing the right window type is important for both aesthetics and energy efficiency. Choose a window that has an insulating layer and low-E glass to reduce your energy costs.
They are easy to open and close
With a simple crank of a handle, Casement windows open outwards to provide enhanced ventilation and unobstructed views. They also feature a tight seal when closed, which improves energy efficiency. Moreover, they are compatible with home automation systems such as IFTTT and Amazon ALEXA. Their sleek appearance and clean sight lines can complement a variety of architectural styles.
These windows can be paired with other window styles to create a bay or bow window. They are also a great choice for egress windows in bedrooms and basements. They can be easily opened during an emergency, allowing you to escape in a timely manner.
They open outward like a door and use a hand-crank mechanism to operate, making them easier to clean than sliding windows. They’re a popular option above sinks, in combination with other window types, and on walls that don’t offer enough space for sliding windows. They’re also ideal for areas that need maximum airflow and ventilation, such as kitchens or bathrooms.
They are available in a variety of shapes
With their hinged side and open-out design, Casement windows provide superior ventilation and unobstructed views. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for hard-to-reach areas. Their tight seal when closed reduces energy loss and helps keep moisture and mold out of walls.
Depending on the look you’re going for, you can choose from a wide variety of shapes and sizes for your new casement window. You can also pair them with picture windows for a more unique look. Regardless of the size you’re going for, make sure that the installer uses additional trim or shims during installation to ensure a snug fit.
Casement windows are a popular choice for kitchens, as they can be opened completely to promote airflow and help eliminate cooking odors. In addition, they can be opened from the top or side to promote cross-wind ventilation and light. They are also an excellent option for upper floors, as they can promote cool breezes during the summer.
They are available in a variety of materials
Unlike sliding windows, casement windows open outward to allow for unobstructed views and enhanced ventilation. They also have a tight seal when closed, which can help reduce energy consumption. Some models even come with double glazing to further increase insulation and reduce your energy bills.
They are available in a variety of frame materials, including aluminum, fiberglass, and wood. The material you choose will have a significant impact on the window’s functionality, durability, and aesthetic. Vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum are all durable and offer a sleek appearance. Wood provides a classic look and offers superior insulation.
Unlike traditional sliding windows, casement windows hinge on one side and open outward with a convenient crank handle. They are easy to clean and provide unobstructed views. They can be paired with picture or single- or double-hung windows for a distinct style. They can also be combined with awning or hopper casement windows, which are hinged from the top and open inward.
They are energy-efficient
With their hinged side and open-out design, Casement windows allow more natural airflow into a home. They also require less space than double-hung windows and are easier to clean. These features make them ideal for hard-to-reach places like over a kitchen sink or bathtub.
When closed, Casement windows seal tightly, keeping cold drafts out and warm air in. They are also more energy-efficient than other window styles because they feature insulated frames and glass. This helps homeowners save money on their energy bills year-round.
