Window Options 101: Benefits of Casement Windows
November 07, 2014If you’re shopping around for replacement windows in Albany NY, look to Huff ‘N Puff for a full range of window styles you can choose from. Our windows are made by the leading replacement window manufacturers in the US – Renewal by Andersen® – so you can be assured of superior quality.
One window style that you might want to consider is the casement window. Casement windows are hinged on the side of the window frame. This window option is one of the most popular in the market today for good reason, not the least of which are the following benefits:
- Impenetrable
Casement windows are one of the most energy-efficient window styles in the market. This is because of the weather-tight seal it provides when closed, making it an effective barrier to prevent the cold (or the heat) from entering your home. It also prevents the warm (or the cool air) from escaping through your windows.
- Ventilation
On good-weather days, let the cool breeze into your home by opening your casements. Casements provide great ventilation for your home, because they can be opened all the way outwards.
- Security
Because casement windows seal tightly when shut, and because they use single-lever latches or tandem latches, they provide great security at home. When casement windows are locked, it is virtually impossible to open them from the outside.
- Appearance
Casement windows offer timeless beauty to any home. Because of their simple yet elegant appearance, a casement window can be matched with any home design – from the classic look to contemporary design. Casement windows are versatile enough to blend in with different styles and designs.
