Unlike sliding windows, Casement windows have sturdy locking mechanisms and are harder to leave open accidentally. These windows are also highly energy efficient.
They come in a variety of frame types, sizes and colors to match any aesthetic. Choose from traditional wood frames to modern aluminum frames with a wide range of glazing options. Single-pane windows are the most affordable, while double-pane and triple-pane offer superior insulation for our cold Macomb County MI climate.
Vinyl
Made from a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl is long-lasting and easy to clean. It’s also affordable and a great choice for an energy conscious homeowner.
Our vinyl windows are fusion welded and have multi-chambered head, sill and jambs for a stronger weather tight seal. We offer a variety of decorative options for our vinyl replacement windows. They are perfect for your new home or renovation project.
Wood
Windows are essential to your home’s beauty, function and feel. Local window installation experts can help you pick windows that complement your space and fit within your budget.
Double hung windows include two moveable sashes that slide up and down. They’re popular for homes with limited floor space. They look great with any style of house and are more energy efficient than single hung windows.
Aluminum
Both casement and awning windows are hinged windows that open outward using a rotary crank handle. They’re easy for anyone to open, especially if there are no obstructions like trees or shrubbery outside the window.
They’re also more airtight than double-hung windows. This is because their sash presses tightly against the frame, eliminating crevices where outdoor air could sneak into your home.
Double Hung
One of our most popular window styles, double hung windows allow you to open both the top and bottom sashes for ventilation. They are a great choice for hard to reach places like above the kitchen sink.
They add rustic, historic flair to Farmhouse and Colonial homes and look great combined with casement windows in Craftsman style homes. Choose from a variety of interior finishes and innovative grilles.
Awning
While both awning windows and casements are hinged on one side and open using a crank, they have different features. For example, awning windows are best for locations over sinks and cabinets because their crank handle won’t interfere with window treatments or furniture.
Because they open outward, awning windows need ample space for them to swing open. This makes them less practical if you have trees or shrubs that hang over the window openings.
Bays
A bay window is a great addition to a living space or bedroom. It allows you to bring in fresh air even on rainy days without soaking your interior.
The only thing separating you from the outside world is the glass. With no sections to obstruct views, they’re perfect for homeowners who love to admire flowers growing in window boxes. They also shut tightly for a secure seal against extreme temperatures.
Bows
Unlike sash windows that have movable glass window panes, casement windows hinge on the side and open with a crank. They’re great for tight spaces.
Homeowners can customize their casement windows with options like paints, innovative grilles, and hardware finishes. They can also choose double- or triple-pane windows for energy efficiency.
Adding features like low-e coatings or UV-resistant tints can add to the price of casement windows. So it’s important to know how much you want before deciding what kind to purchase.
Transoms
A transom is a fan-shaped window that hangs above a door or other window. Traditionally they were operable, but they can also be fixed in place for light and decoration.
Most are stationary, but some use hooked rod systems to open and close them. They can be a great way to add architectural flair to a home, but they can also be difficult to access.
Sidelights
Typically found in combination with a bay, these windows are hinged on one side and open outward using a crank. They provide excellent ventilation while delivering a clear view.
They can obstruct walkways when open which may cause problems for people walking by outside. They also cost more than other types of windows. Energy conscious homeowners should consider adding argon and low-e glass for additional efficiency.
French Doors
If you’re looking for a window that’s hinged on one side and opens outward using a hand-crank, look no further than a casement. This style offers more ventilation and a clear view of your backyard.
These windows are great alone or can be built into Bay and Bow windows. They can also be combined with sidelites or a transom for increased design flexibility.
