Casement Windows

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys upgrades and classy home designs, you might consider installing casement windows in your new or remodeled home. They bring a romantic look to any room, while also being great for energy efficiency. Here’s a quick guide to casement windows and a few reasons why you should consider adding them to your home.

They’re great for hard-to-reach areas

You’ve probably tried to push up a single or double-hung window that’s in an awkward place, such as over a kitchen sink. It’s nearly impossible unless you’re very tall. Casement windows make these areas easy since you don’t need the same kind of leverage to open them. Simply use the hand crank and they’ll open right up, giving you plenty of fresh air where you want it.

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE MAXIMUM fresh air

If you really enjoy having a lot of fresh air gently flowing through your home, casement windows might be your answer. The entire window opens outward, inviting the outdoor breeze into your room. To contrast, single and double-hung windows only allow about half of the window space to open, cutting your fresh air in half.

you CAN clean inside and outside the window easily

Simply open one of the windows to access the outside of the other window to clean it, and then wipe clean the inside of the windows. Easy access makes casement windows great for otherwise hard-to-clean spaces in your house.

They’re energy efficient

When the wind is howling outside, it causes the casement window to shut even tighter. This allows you to keep drafts out and your energy bills down.

They’re great for aiding those with physical CHALLENGES

If you’ve had a recent surgery, deal with a chronic ailment, or you care for someone with a physical limitation, casement windows are a great option to assist them with independently opening windows. Single and double-hung windows require the ability to push and pull, but casement windows operate simply with a hand crank.
