As part of your window replacement project, choosing casement windows can have an enormous effect on how energy-efficient your home becomes. Of all window styles available today, they are the most energy-saving.
These window styles, commonly known as crank windows, open outward using hinges on either end and are operated using a crank handle – an ideal solution for rooms in which swing-out sashes would get in the way.
Optimal Light and Ventilation
Casement windows provide your home with optimal ventilation, thanks to their hinged sash that opens outward. Their easy-to-use crank handle lets you control how much airflow enters – helping reduce energy costs by keeping temperatures cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
They provide unobstructed views of your outdoor landscape. Perfect for hard-to-reach windows above kitchen sinks, these curtains maximize natural lighting in any given room by acting like picture windows – providing uninterrupted views from a different vantage point than just looking through regular paned windows alone.
Choose single- or double-frame casement windows to find the ideal style and finish combination for your home, with both options coming in a range of colors and finishes to suit any decor. With energy efficiency in mind, ENERGY STAR-certified casement windows help save energy, block air leaks, and prevent condensation – not to mention prolong the longevity of any installation project!
Energy Efficiency
Casement windows offer an effective defense against air infiltration from outside, eliminating drafts that can cause costly damage to your home. Furthermore, their design makes for quiet living by minimising outdoor noise pollution and blocking UV rays which could fade furniture and artwork over time.
Like sliding windows, casement windows come equipped with double or triple-pane glass options for optimal insulation. By including inert gases such as Argon or Krypton between glass panes, casement windows can reduce heat loss while simultaneously decreasing condensation that leads to mold growth.
These windows can also be upgraded with a Low-E coating to further increase their energy efficiency, keeping hot air from leaving during summer while still allowing cool air in. This feature can significantly lower energy costs throughout the year while being much simpler to clean than sliding windows with multiple sashes to open and close.
Low Maintenance
Comparable to sliding windows, casement windows offer superior air circulation and can be opened wide for cleaning from either within or outside your home. In addition, casements have embedded locks, making them one of the safest forms of windows available today.
Casement windows bring timeless beauty into any room they adorn, recalling windows found in historic buildings. Their operation can create stunning combinations in your home with fixed windows or other operating styles, creating beautiful combinations you won’t soon forget!
Our casement windows are handcrafted from premium materials and designed with cutting-edge energy efficiency technologies to save you money, including tight seals that prevent air leakage and insulation upgrades like adding inert gases between panes to reduce heat loss and UV ray damage, plus fusion-welded frames and sashes that provide strength and stability against water or air infiltration.
Easy Installation
Casement windows differ from sliding sash windows by operating like doors with hinges that swing outward, providing increased ventilation, unobstructed views, and energy savings while adding style and design versatility to the home. They work great with various home styles.
Casement windows are unmatched when it comes to energy efficiency. Their tight seal prevents air infiltration better than double or single-hung windows, and their wide opening area makes cleaning them simpler – easing stress off your heating or cooling system in turn.
Wood casement windows are very user-friendly with their easy crank handle operation, and our wood casement windows are specifically designed to look timeless in any home design motif. We offer various frame colours and finishes as well as grills and hardware options sо that you can personalize your new windows tо match your style and preferences.
In addition, these products feature multi-point locking mechanisms to protect family safety; tested forced entry test results match those found with quality metal windows. When considering energy-efficient replacement casement windows, wood options can provide both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits for your home.
