Casement Windows by Arvada Window Replacement

Do you know what a Casement Window is? Well, we will tell you! A Casement Window is a window that is hinged on one side, the left or the right, and opens to the other side via turning a crank. Casement Windows are maybe one of the best windows to have if you are looking for great ventilation, as they will catch side breezes, and are an otherwise very versatile window.

The facts about Casement Windows by Arvada Window Replacement:

  1. No window can be opened up further than a Casement Window can. Some may say that slider windows may provide an unobstructed and more open window, but Casement Windows offer the ability to open a sash to 90 degrees so that the screen is unobstructed by a window. Double Hung, Single Hung, Awning, and other windows cannot offer this type of Window versatility.
  2. When Casement Windows are completely closed, the only thing that will block your view out of the entire window is the small strip (called a Muntin) of wood, vinyl or other material that is in the middle of the window. This offers a view that is better than just about any other window save for a Picture window with no designs in the middle of it.
  3. Casement Windows also offer a very good level of security, in that they are difficult to break into. Because they close and seal via the crank from inside, any intruders cannot open the sash from the outside.
  4. The ventilation of Casement Windows is phenomenal. Because the entire sash can open from one or both sides, air is easily able to get into your home. This, along with the fantastic view that Casement Windows offer make it so they are one of the most popular Windows that open on the market.

Arvada Window Replacement offers Casement Windows that open from one or both sides. If you have a smaller opening in which we can only fit one casement window, we have the ability to add a single sash casement window to that spot in your home. Some Arvada homeowners prefer to have casement windows in their front living room looking out on to the street, and Casement Windows are often added to a Bay Window configuration because of the view they provide out of the Bay Window.

What are some of the disadvantages of Casement Windows?

  1. If you live in a home, condo, townhome, or apartment without central air conditioning, and need to install a window unit, you won’t be able to do that with Casement Windows.
  2. The size of Casement Windows is limited because of the need for those windows to support a greater amount of weight when cranking out. Thus, the size is limited, depending on a number of factors.
  3. They are not available alongside storm screens. Because Casement Windows open outwards, storm screens that go on the outside of a window or door cannot be used in conjunction with a Casement Window.
