Adding Casement windows to your home provides several benefits. They are easy to operate, offer good ventilation and are energy efficient. They also provide privacy and beauty.
Material costs for these windows vary by brand and window type, with higher-end brands charging a premium price. Labor costs and demolition work can also affect overall project costs.
Easy to Operate
Unlike single- or double-hung windows that slide up and down, casement windows open outward by cranking a handle. This allows for easy ventilation and a wide view of the outdoors. They also provide an attractive alternative to traditional grilles and muntins.
Because they have a tight seal, casement windows are highly energy efficient. They can help lower your utility bills and reduce the strain on your home’s heating and cooling system.
A basic picture window with two casement flankers will cost between $760 – $1,030 (window only). If you live in an area susceptible to tropical weather systems, consider the impact-resistant option, which includes steel-reinforced frames and laminated glass that can withstand winds of up to 175 mph.
Increased Ventilation
Unlike other window types, casement windows can be opened wide to allow air to flow in a room. They also don’t require grilles or muntins to support the frame, which makes them an attractive choice for a home that has an open floor plan and needs to maximize natural light.
These windows also provide protection from intruders, as their hinged opening mechanism is difficult to open from the outside. In addition, they can be installed with a lock, making them even more secure.
Another reason to install new replacement casement windows is their energy efficiency. They can be installed with a Low-E coating and filled with krypton or argon gas to slow heat transfer and reduce your utility bills. They are also more durable than traditional windows and are resistant to condensation.
Increased Home Value
Investing in home upgrades can help you increase your home’s value and save on energy costs. However, not all renovations offer the same value. Casement windows are a great choice for homeowners who want to improve their home’s appearance and functionality.
They open using a crank and allow more fresh air to enter the house. They are also extremely durable and easy to maintain. Additionally, they are ENERGY STAR rated and use optimal air space to increase energy efficiency.
They are more expensive than single or double-hung windows, but they are worth the investment. However, it’s essential to know your goals before you choose a window style. Consult with a professional to discuss your goals and find the best option for you. This will ensure you get the most out of your new windows.
Increased Energy Efficiency
The windows are hermetically sealed to prevent air leaks, resulting in lower energy costs for homeowners. In addition, these windows have a very high level of durability and come with a double lifetime warranty that covers both the material and labor.
Unlike sliding and gliding windows, casement windows hinge at the side or top and open outward like a door. They are often referred to as crank windows. They are also easy to clean and provide stunning views of the outdoors.

Increased Security
Unlike single or double-hung windows that open with a sliding sash, casement windows hinge at the sides and open outward using a crank handle. This makes them highly secure, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe from intruders.
These windows also seal tightly, making them highly energy efficient. When combined with low-e glass, they can exceed ENERGY STAR® performance guidelines to reduce your energy bills.
