The Benefits of Casement Windows
Casement windows are a popular type of window for the unique look and functionality they provide. They are attached to their frame with one or more hinges at the side and open outward to the left or right, similar to a door. This is in stark contrast to other windows, such as double-hung, which open and close vertically. This design difference yields numerous benefits, including:
Exceptional Ventilation
Casement windows provide full top-to-bottom ventilation, unlike double-hung and single-hung windows that only open halfway. The open sash even allows you to catch a side breeze, which you won’t be able to enjoy with any other type of window.
Clear Views
Casement windows don’t have any of the muntons (grid lines) that are common in other types of windows, so you can get a completely unobstructed view of the outdoors.
Design Versatility
Picture a European street; what makes it so quaint? You’ve got the cobblestone streets, balcony flowers hanging from wrought iron railings and, of course, casement windows! This window style often evokes the charming “la dolce vita” feel in any home, but they’re also available in far more contemporary styles as well, making them an incredibly versatile choice for any style home.
