Enhance your home with stylish windows that bring together contemporary beauty and state-of-the-art functionality. This window type opens wide to usher in a fresh breeze and natural light, providing an unobstructed view of your scenery.
Unlike double-hung windows, which can grow harder to open over time due to friction on the wooden sashes, casement windows operate smoothly with a simple crank. They also come with additional benefits that make them well worth the investment.
Excellent Ventilation
Unlike double-hung windows that allow only fifty percent of the window to open, casement windows swing outward like a door, allowing more airflow into your home. They also provide unobstructed views thanks to the lack of a middle sash, enhancing your natural surroundings.
Moreover, their tight seal when closed prevents drafts and heat transfer, ensuring an optimal indoor temperature year-round. This improves your energy efficiency and reduces those pesky utility bills.
Despite their numerous benefits, Casement windows require the use of a hand crank to operate. This may pose a minor inconvenience for homeowners who prefer effortless window operation. They are also larger and heavier than sliding or single-hung windows, making them a more challenging choice for hard-to-reach locations. Fortunately, Renewal by Andersen’s Fibrex wood composite can help overcome these limitations. It offers the natural look of real wood and is resistant to warping, swelling, and sagging. It is also water-resistant and requires minimal maintenance.
Unobstructed Views
With their side-hinged design that opens outward, our new casement windows guarantee unobstructed views. They seamlessly meld indoor and outdoor vistas, invigorating spaces with refreshing breezes. They also act as natural insulators, promising energy savings throughout the cold, Midwestern winters.
With a tight seal when closed, they reduce air leakage and enhance thermal performance, improving energy efficiency in your home. They are available in a wide variety of color options, window grids and glass types. Whether you prefer a modern minimalist look or a more traditional style, our state-of-the-art casement windows deliver a timeless aesthetic that complements a variety of architectural designs.
Unlike horizontal sliding windows, which glide along tracks, our casement windows open outward with a crank. They can be opened all the way to provide greater ventilation than other window styles. However, this does restrict placement options since you need to clear the space on both sides to fully open them. This does not affect the functionality of the windows, however.
Energy Efficiency
Today’s homeowners want home improvements that cater to both aesthetics and functionality, and casement windows are a great example. These side-hinged windows open wide to let in a refreshing breeze, and their unbarred glass panes seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor views.
Their tight seal when closed enhances energy efficiency, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. This benefit is especially valuable for Clinton Township homes with extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the year.
Another advantage is that they don’t have sash tracks, which can become hard to maintain over time with constant use. Instead, opening them simply requires cranking open a hinge. This makes them an excellent choice for high-rise apartments and condos where a window is difficult to reach. Plus, they can be a smart option for basements, where their open design offers ample airflow. They’re also available with a side-lite or awning for added ventilation and light.
Easy Maintenance
Casement windows add a whimsy to your home’s aesthetic. They’re reminiscent of Tudor homes and woodland cottages, but they can fit into nearly any design scheme. They also offer a number of benefits that can help you save money on energy costs.
These hinged windows can be opened by turning a handle, and they’re easy to clean. They also provide excellent ventilation while keeping dust and debris out of the house. However, if the window’s handle isn’t working correctly, it can be difficult to open the window.
These windows feature fusion-welded frames and sashes to prevent separation. The sashes are sealed to the frame using multiple points of locking for security, and they have one of the lowest air infiltration rates in the industry. They also use insulated screens that are removable from the inside for ease of cleaning. The insulating glass is protected by a weather strip to keep cold air out and hot air in during the winter.
