Casement Windows: All Styles Explained

Casement Fixed	Egress Casement
The use of fixed casement windows simplifies the design, and thus reduces the cost. Fixed models provide a beautiful view and good light transmission, but don’t ensure ventilation since they can’t be opened.	The National Building Code of Canada requires that every living space have at least one egress window large enough to allow an emergency exit.
Therefore, in some cases, it’s better to use a casement-picture-casement window combination with a fixed picture window in the center that doesn’t open, surrounded by casement windows on both sides.	An egress casement window is a side-hinged window that pivots outward to open like a door. Egress casement windows look good and are very easy to use. It’s not the most popular among other casement window styles, but perfect for safety and escape in case of emergency.

Casement Windows: All Types Explained

Single	Double	Triple
A single casement window consists of glass panels placed in a single frame. Being probably the most popular choice among other casement window types, this option has a simple yet stylish appearance and is surprisingly easy to maintain. Plus, a single casement window replacement is more affordable compared to other designs.	Double casement windows consist of two windows connected by hinges on the sides. They open outward and join in the middle to close. Double casement windows are a little more expensive than a single option but are reliable and unpretentious in maintenance.	Imagine three sides of a window bay and you’ll get how triple casement windows look like. They take up a lot of space on the wall while providing maximum ventilation in the room. This is the most expensive type of window yet can greatly enhance the look of your home.

Casement vs. Other Popular Window Styles: Side-by-Side Comparison

Not sure if casement windows are exactly what you need? Let’s compare them with other most popular window styles.

Awning vs casement window models

Both of these models are similar in style: they are easy to open and close with the turn of a convenient folding handle. They can be made in large sizes and thus provide plenty of air and natural light and therefore universal for any space. Unlike casement windows, awning windows only open outwards horizontally.

Awning windows:	Casement windows:
Pros: rain protection space saving providing an unobstructed view	Pros: easy cleaning and maintaining more energy efficient ensure better ventilation capacity
Cons: cannot be cleaned from the inside installation can cause problems in terms of compliance with building codes cannot be used as an emergency exit	Cons: are more expensive don’t provide an unobstructed view

Casement vs double hung windows models

These models are very different in the type of construction. A double-hung window has two opening sashes that slide vertically, opening and closing it. This type of window is commonly used as the main type of window unit in vintage cottage-style buildings, while casement windows go well with modern style.

Double Hung windows	Casement windows:
Pros: usually have a more affordable price closed bottom sash guarantees child safety are more durable, especially in humid climates	Pros: are more energy efficient easy to operate no sash dividing the window and obstructing the view
Cons: can be difficult to roll up and down possible air leak	Cons: are more expensive are more exposed to outside influences

Casement vs. picture window models

Picture windows are non-opening models. Their replacement can significantly save on glazing of rooms where ventilation is not required. However, homeowners often use them in combination with opening windows. These models are perfect for floor-to-ceiling design in high rooms.

Picture windows:	Casement windows:
Pros: simple design and no locking mechanisms ensure durability and minimum maintenance great light transmission provide better sealing are more secure	Pros: excellent ventilation capacity are easier to clean
Cons: don’t provide any ventilation difficult to clean	Cons: are more exposed to outside influences not so secure due to opening mechanism

Casement vs. sliding window models

Sliding windows are distinguished by a special frame design with longitudinal guides. When opening or closing, the sash moves along these guides. Thus, it constantly remains in the plane of the frame, unlike casement models. They turn out to be the best solution in rooms where you need excellent ventilation and space saving: in the bathroom, kitchen, washing rooms, etc.

Sliding windows:	Casement windows:
Pros: space saving sash fixation wide range of glazing options	Pros: are more energy-efficient provide better ventilation are more suitable for narrow spaces
Cons: insufficient heat and sound insulation more difficult maintenance limited ventilation	Cons: are more expensive not so space-efficient

Tilt windows vs. casement models

Tilt windows are usually made of one fixed and two movable sashes that tilt inward when opened. This model provides ventilation without cluttering up the space.

Tilt windows:	Casement windows:
Pros: affordable price save space inside stunning and functional multi-chambered design	Pros: are more energy-efficient provide better ventilation are easier to maintain
Cons: are more expensive to install costly to repair inward opening only	Cons: are more expensive are more exposed to outside influences

Energy-Efficient Features of Modern Casement Windows

You can upgrade your windows with different types of glazing to improve their thermal performance.

• LoE Glass Coatings

Ecoline’s windows are equipped with a Low-E coating used to increase energy efficiency by reflecting sun rays. Such a solution prevents heat losses from your home while giving some savings on heating costs.

• Argon & Krypton Gas

The thermal conductivity of Argon and Krypton gases is much lower than air, so heat loss through such a window is much less. Thus, window panes filled with these inert gases can significantly reduce the level of heat loss in the room, as well as provide a high level of thermal and sound insulation.

• Double- & Triple-Pane Windows

Everyone is looking for a way to make their home more energy efficient and save money. That’s why homeowners are increasingly choosing multi-pane windows – for their ability to save energy and therefore help reduce monthly bills. Indeed, double and triple-pane windows can lower the heat transfer coefficient which means less heat is lost.

How do double and triple pane windows differ?

Choosing the optimal design is not always easy. The answer to the question of which is better largely depends on the purpose of the room and on the budget.

The main difference between models is their construction. Double-pane windows consist of two layers of glass forming a single unit with air or gas between the two panes; triple-pane ones are made out of three pieces of glass, respectively.

There are several factors to consider when choosing between these options:

• Both double- and triple-pane windows offer excellent noise protection and energy savings but triple-pane windows perform a bit better – they have a lower U-factor which means they let less heat in (during the summer) and less heat out (during the winter).
•  Both types of windows are durable enough, but according to some experts, triple-pane windows are more prone to seal failures.
• Being more advanced and more energy-sufficient, triple-pane windows are consequently more costly. 
•  Triple-pane windows are harder to install. Their weight is much more than other models, so the load on the fittings increases. The large weight of the construction may make the installation impossible, for example in case of too thin walls or their dilapidation
