What are the Advantages of Having Casement Windows at Your Homes?

by Lg Hausys LG Hausys Casement windows add instant value to homes not only with their attractive looking designs, but also with their wide range of operational advantages. These are extremely admired over other windows such as double hung and sliding, and offer great value for one’s money.

Casement windows, hinged on the side, are often used singly or in pairs within one common frame. Held open with the use of a casement stay, these windows are a great choice for homeowners looking for increased ventilation in their homes. The farther these windows open, the better is the ventilation.

Compared to sliding and double hung windows, casement windows carry no rail to block one’s outside view. These windows can be flung open easily both with and without a hand crank. These windows are popularly installed in kitchens, especially over a countertop or an appliance, where they can be easily opened with a crank and protected from outside elements with screens.

Every window comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. But in the case of casement windows, the pros outweigh the cons. Being one of the stop choices for window replacement, these windows offer a multitude of benefits which are described below:
 
A. Reasonable prices: These windows are some of the best priced window replacement solutions available in the market today. With low installation prices, these can be bought even within the constraints of a tight budget. There is not much of a price difference between casement windows and double hung and sliding windows, but any variation in the prices depends upon four main factors – the type of windows chosen, the kind of panes selected, the number of windows installed, and the manufacturer’s installation costs.

B. Energy efficiency: These windows are only second in line to fixed frame windows when it comes to being energy efficient. The window sash strongly seals the entire frame when the windows are closed thereby considerably reducing air leakages from inside to the outside.

C. Excellent ventilation: These windows are accompanied by sashes that act as a breeze-trapping flap thus allowing side breezes into one’s home, especially during warmer months. Depending on one’s requirements, these windows can either be opened full or just by a margin so as to maintain security. 

D. Sufficient safety: Contrary to double hung windows, casement windows offer great security to homeowners as these are significantly difficult to break into. These windows carry hook locks that are directly embedded within the window frame making them extremely secure in unexpected situations of break-ins.

E. Multiplicity of designs: Various building material companies offer these windows in a multitude of varying designs, colors and finishes and also carry a vast range of accessories such as vinyl, chrome or brass crank levers. Surface or lead grills can also be additionally added to give the windows a more attractive look. With the advancement in modern building materials, the problems of sagging windows and loose alignments have almost been brought down to a definitive end.

Last but not the least, these windows are extremely easy to maintain and seldom require painting or polishing. Only the handles require lubrication treatments from time to time. Furthermore, casement windows are a fitting accessory to older houses because with their charm, they add a great degree of instant appeal to these homes. Hence, homeowners’ need for both functionality and beauty is well served and satiated.
