For areas where traditional double-hung windows aren’t practical, like over kitchen sinks or bathtubs, a casement window is an excellent choice. This style opens and closes with a single crank, providing ample ventilation while also maintaining security.
They also come with insect screens and provide unobstructed views for beautiful indoor spaces. If you’re searching for windows that combine classic beauty with modern function, look no further than these vinyl replacement casement windows!
Easy to Operate
Casement windows swing open like doors, allowing fresh air to flow freely throughout the home. They are often used in kitchens and bathrooms where frequent ventilation is necessary. Additionally, because they don’t contain obstructive sashes, they offer unobstructed views of the outdoors and allow in more natural light.
These windows are also easy to operate as they open outward with a single crank, similar to doors. They are available in both outswing and inswing styles, allowing you to select the option that best suits your space. Outswing windows are often used as a standalone window or built into a bay or bow window arrangement.
Unlike double-hung windows, which have top and bottom sashes that can leak air between them, casement windows have tight seals, eliminating energy loss. Energy-efficient options with argon gas fill between panes can help you save even more money each month on your energy bills. Combined with low-E coated glazing, these windows can block out harmful UV rays and reduce solar heat gain.
Ventilation
With a simple turn of the crank, casement windows open outward to provide maximum ventilation. This makes them perfect for North Texas’ hot summer climate, when fresh air is essential to keeping your home cool and comfortable.
Casement windows are also easy to clean, making them a popular choice for hard-to-reach areas like those above sinks and in multistory homes. Simply sweep away dust and debris from tracks and lubricate hardware as needed to keep windows operating smoothly.
Many casement window styles can be combined with fixed picture windows to create bay and bow windows that enhance scenic views while providing egress in emergency situations. For added safety, opt for child-safety locks that restrict how far the window opens but still allow ventilation. Talk with a local window installation contractor to learn more about your options. They can help you customize a style that meets your specific needs and enhances your home’s architectural design. They can also advise on custom options like tinted glass and textured or frosted windows.
Energy Efficiency
As a result of their tight seal, casement windows have an energy-saving advantage over other replacement window types in Texas. This helps cool air from your AC stay inside and hot outdoor air stays outside – helping you save money each month on your electricity costs.
This is especially true when you choose high-performance glass and inert gas fills, which further reduce energy loss. Moreover, choosing low-emissivity coatings can help keep your carpets, furniture, and decorative items from fading due to exposure to harmful UV rays.
Like all of our replacement windows, our casement windows blend beauty and first-rate thermal efficiency with unique functionality. They open like doors and feature dual continuous weather-stripping, ensuring comfort throughout the year. These windows can be installed as outswing or inswing windows, depending on your preference. Outswing windows swing outward with the turn of a crank and are easy to access even in hard-to-reach spaces. Inswing windows open inward and are ideal when you need to avoid blocking walkways or hitting objects that may be outside your home.
Durability
The rugged construction of Casement windows is well-suited for the Texas climate. They boast tighter seals than other window types, helping to keep cool indoor air inside the home and hot outdoor air outside – saving homeowners energy bills each month. Special coatings on these windows reduce solar heat and argon gas fill between glass panes further lowers energy costs.
Unlike traditional sash windows, they open wide to capture side breezes and provide unobstructed views of your patio or backyard. They do require regular care, including cleaning the window and lubricating the crank handle. It’s important to keep the area surrounding your windows free from debris and bushes.
