Casement windows are among the most commonly installed window types in residential homes. These windows are designed to swing out from the side. That is why they are ideal for locations where a window sash cannot be easily pushed up — for instance, above kitchen sinks or countertops.
In this post, trusted window and siding contractor Shine Construction Inc. enumerates the main advantages of casement windows.
Casement windows typically have a strong locking mechanism, which can prevent rain, window and snow from penetrating your home. They also have only one pane of glass, which reduces the risk of gaps where air could potentially pass through. With a secure seal like that in casement windows, you can rest assured that your interior will stay warm and cozy during winter and cool during summer.
Casement windows can be opened completely, allowing for maximum ventilation. They can also catch a side breeze, which can simply pass by your home if you are using other types of window. That said, if you enjoy fresh air and want to maximize natural ventilation, you should consider casement windows for your window replacement project.
Casement windows can provide solid security for your home. All four sides of a casement window seal into the sash when you lock the window from inside. The locks on casement windows also have a hook shape, and they embed into the frame. These features make casement windows safer from break-ins, so you can have peace of mind.
Casement windows are designed to have fewer muntins. This offers a broader and clearer view of your landscape, and it also helps create a seamless connection between your interior and the outdoors.
