Windows play a big part in the overall look of your home. They also have a direct impact on your energy costs and comfort. You can choose from different window designs that meet both style and efficiency needs.
Unlike sliding windows, casement windows open vertically with robust hinges and single crank mechanism. They are perfect for hard-to-reach areas like over the kitchen sink and pair well with projecting window styles such as bay and bow.
Versatile
Unlike sliding windows, which open horizontally, casement windows hinge on one side and open outward with a single crank mechanism. They’re perfect for hard-to-reach spots and pair beautifully with projecting window styles like bay and bow to create a three-dimensional aesthetic. Choose from a wide range of frame colors and grid patterns to match your home’s style.
Double and single casement windows offer a simple yet classic appearance, fitting seamlessly into both traditional and modern home designs. Available with a left or right-hinged design, they are adaptable to various room layouts.
Picture windows showcase an expansive glass area that enables natural light to flood into your space, decreasing the need for artificial illumination and creating a seamless connection to nature. They’re also energy-efficient, helping regulate your home’s temperature and reducing utility bills. In addition, picture windows allow for maximum ventilation without sacrificing your view. Unlike double-hung windows, they don’t have a center rail and are easier to clean and maintain.
Easy to open and close
While many other window styles only open part of the way, casement windows can be opened to the fullest with their crank handle. This makes them a smart choice for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where ventilation is key as well as bedrooms and living rooms where homeowners want to enjoy the view or catch a breeze.
When they’re closed, their tight seal keeps cold air out and warm air in, resulting in significant energy savings throughout the year. They also don’t have sections separating the glass to obstruct your view, making them ideal for homes with picturesque landscapes or breathtaking countryside views.
If you’re looking for an even more versatile window style that’s easy to open and close, we suggest opting for a double or triple-unit awning window. Similar to casement windows, awning windows open from the top using heavy duty hinges and are perfect for areas that may be hard to reach, such as above sinks or countertop appliances.
Energy-efficient
With robust hinges that open vertically and a single crank mechanism, casement windows deliver superior ventilation. Their large glass panels without mullions give them a sleek appearance that complements both traditional and modern Birmingham homes. And when paired with spectrally selective low-E glass, they block UV rays to reduce energy costs throughout the year.
When opened wide, the window’s sash creates a “funnel” of fresh air that flows into your home. This makes them ideal for hard-to-reach spaces like over the kitchen sink or behind a porch.
Achieve high performance with a fusion of wood and aluminum clad frames and argon gas fills that improve thermal efficiency. With a tight seal and insulated double panes, these windows help you save on energy costs while improving your Birmingham home’s comfort. They also work well with projecting windows such as bay or bow windows. In fact, they can be used in combination with other window installation styles to transform your living space into something truly eye-catching.
Easy to maintain
Unlike sliding windows that have multiple sections separating the glass panels, casement windows have a single window panel with a single crank mechanism. Their narrow frames provide a sleek, modern look and complement both traditional and contemporary home styles. They also provide wide ventilation and unobstructed views.
They’re ideal for hard-to-reach places like above a kitchen sink or bathtub, and they pair well with projecting window styles such as bay and bow to expand living space. Plus, their tight fit makes them harder to tamper with, providing enhanced security.
They’re easy to maintain as well, and cleaning them is a breeze. All it takes is a regular wipe-down with a damp cloth. The windows’ durable materials also resist rot, warping, and cracking, so you can count on them to enhance the appearance of your home for years to come.
