Casement Windows
If you’re looking for windows that pivot open and closed vertically then you should consider having casement windows installed on your home. Although these are not the most popular windows with many people, there are particular advantages.
Casement Windows
Open Fully
No other window can be opened as far, which can be an important advantage when you depend on cross ventilation to cool your home.So if the size of window opening is important to you, you may want to consider casements.
Great Views
Muntins are those strips of wood, vinyl, metal, or fiberglass that divide panes of glass within a single window. Sometimes muntins are desired; other times, not. Sometimes, in fact, that fake muntins are installed between the two panes of glass, or as clip-on accessories. If you don’t want muntins, then you’re in luck with casements.
Better Ventilation
Casement windows allow a lot of airflow in especially if you have abnormal wind conditions you can open up the sash to allow better flow of air in your home.
Better Security
Casement windows are very difficult to break into. Casement locks are hook-shaped, and these hooks are embedded within the frame, making them untouchable.
