Casement Windows

Benefits of Vinyl Casement Windows

Vinyl casement windows can provide the following benefits:

Increased airflow. Because the entire sash of a crank-out window opens to the outside, it lets in the most air of any window type.

Easy opening style. The hardware on the vinyl casement window is located at the bottom, which makes it easier for shorter people or those in a seated position to open than a standard double hung or slider window.

Suitable for use as egress windows. The ability to safely and easily exit is an important consideration when choosing a window. Local building codes often require egress windows in sleeping rooms. Casement windows have larger sashes, which make them the preferred window choice for egress applications.

Improved curb appeal. New wood or vinyl windows can upgrade the appearance of both the inside and outside of a home and enhance the architectural design.

Reduced energy costs. Old single pane windows can greatly increase heating and cooling costs. Thermal windows with ENERGY STAR glass packages can pay for themselves in a short time.
