Casement Windows

Casement Windows - Supplied & Fitted

A casement window is a type of window that is hinged on the side, top, or bottom of its frame and swings open like a door to provide ventilation. This hinged design allows for a completely unobstructed view and maximizes airflow, making casements windows known for their energy efficiency due to their ability to form a tight seal when closed. They are available in many styles and can be made from various materials, including uPVC, timber, and aluminium.

Key Characteristics

Hinged Design - The "casement" refers to the hinged part of the window, which can be attached to the frame on the side, top, or bottom.

Swinging Action - Unlike sliding windows, casement windows swing open to a set degree, either inward or outward.

Full Ventilation - Because the entire window pane opens, casement windows provide full, unobstructed airflow.

Energy Efficiency - The design allows the window to seal tightly against the frame when closed, reducing air  leakage and improving insulation.

Versatile Design - Casement windows can be incorporated into various architectural styles, from traditional to contemporary homes.

Common Types Of Casement Windows

Side Hung - The most common type, hinged on one side and typically opened with a crank or lever.

Double/French Casement - Features two side hung panels that open from the center, similar to French doors, providing even greater ventilation.

Top Hung - Hinged at the top, allowing the bottom of the window to swing outward.
