When it comes to windows, it makes sense that you may think there is just one type of window for you to choose when it comes to your home. There are a variety of windows that you can pick, and the one you choose will depend on the style of your home (as well as some other key features that you are looking for).
One option that you can choose is casement windows. But what is meant by a casement window, and why might they be the right choice for you?
What is a casement window?
Casement windows are one of the most common window types that you are likely to see installed in homes. They are attached to a frame using a hinge, which can be manual or automatic. This will then be used to crank the window outwards, which takes it away from home.
The most common style of casement window installed is a side-hung window, which is hinged at the side. These are the most common to be installed as they are the easiest to open.
If you live in a wet climate, a top-hung casement window is the best choice as it will block out the rain but can still be opened to ventilate the property when needed.
Why are they a great choice?
So, now you know more about casement windows, the next question is, what makes them a great choice to have installed in your home?
There are several benefits to casement windows. The first is that they are versatile. They can work with various property types and will blend in seamlessly. They can also be installed in uPVC, timber or aluminium frames, whichever is the right choice for your home.
Another great thing about casement windows is that they are fully sealed for insulation. They are energy efficient, thanks to the fact that they are fully sealed when the window is closed. This helps to prevent the cold air from getting in and the warm out from getting out. The ideal situation if you want to reduce energy usage within your home.
Casement windows are also straightforward to open and close. They can even be combined with automatic openers if you want to make it as easy as possible to open them and let the fresh air in and the stale air out.
Some people may worry that having a window that can be opened will reduce the property’s security. However, the truth is that it doesn’t need to be the case. Because the windows are double-glazed, they are incredibly secure, and they can also be combined with a variety of lock types too, which means that they are going to be secure too.
There you have it; there are various reasons you should choose casement windows for your property. Think about whether they will be the right choice for your home, and then get to work designing windows that you can be proud of.
