What is a Casement Window?
A casement window is a type of window that is hinged on the side of its frame, allowing it to open outward like a door. Also known as swing windows, these windows are known for their versatility and functionality. They can be installed as a single window or in pairs within a shared frame, offering design flexibility to suit various spaces. Casement windows are perfect for bringing in abundant natural light and fresh air, thanks to their wide opening. Whether you’re renovating your home or working on a commercial project, these windows fit seamlessly into different architectural styles, providing both practicality and aesthetic appeal. Their outward swinging action makes them a great choice for maximizing ventilation and enhancing the overall comfort of your space.
What are the Pros and Cons of Casement Windows?
Pros:
- Energy Efficiency: Casement windows are one of the most energy-efficient windows available. When closed, the sash creates an airtight seal against the frame, making it difficult for air to pass through. This tight sealing helps maintain indoor temperatures, significantly reducing aircon and energy costs.
- Optimal Ventilation: These windows excel in ventilation because they open fully from the side, unlike sliding windows that only open halfway. This feature allows for a full breeze to enter the room, enhancing air quality and comfort especially during warmer months.
- Unobstructed Views: Casement windows offer wide, clear views because they have a single sash without any dividers in the middle. They are a great option for rooms where you want to enjoy the outdoor view.
- Versatility in Design: Available in various styles including aluminium framed, and options such as powder-coated finishes, casement windows can be tailored to match any interior design style.
Cons:
- Space Constraints: They may not be suitable for locations with limited outdoor space, such as narrow HDB corridors or patios, as they require room to open.
- Maintenance: Casement windows are constructed with hinges, therefore they need consistent upkeep to avoid rusting or malfunctioning hardware.
