Casement Windows
Casement windows have been around for a couple of centuries and remain popular because they look great and provide adjustable ventilation while protecting the interior from the rain. They’re the ones you think of when you imagine throwing the windows wide on a warm day at the beginning of spring to let in the fresh air for the first time after a long winter.
Double glazed Upvc casement windows from Andrew Wright bring you all the advantages of traditional casements: plenty of light and good ventilation when you want it, but none of the disadvantages: draughts, frame distortion from aging wood and lack of security.
Casement windows are a popular type of window that is hinged on one side and opens outward, like a door. This prevents rain from entering the room in wet weather conditions. They are known for their versatility, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, enhancing modern and traditional homes.
The casement window design allows trouble-free operation, often with a crank or a lever, and they seal tight when closed, offering superior energy efficiency and security.
Here are some critical aspects of casement windows:
Features and Benefits:
Ventilation: Casement windows can be fully opened, allowing for maximum airflow. This makes them ideal for areas where ventilation is a priority.
Energy Efficiency: When closed, the sash presses against the frame, creating a tight seal that is more energy-efficient than other types of windows.
Unobstructed Views: They provide clear, unobstructed views since they do not have a central frame like double-hung windows.
Ease of Cleaning: Open casement windows make cleaning interior and exterior glass surfaces easier.
Security: The hook-shaped casement locks are embedded within the frame, making them more secure against break-ins.

Types of Casement Windows:
Single Casement Windows: These have one sash that opens outward.
Double Casement Windows consist of two sashes that open outward from the centre.
Push-Out Casement Windows: Instead of using a crank, these are opened by pushing the sash outward.
French Casement Windows: These have two sashes that open outward without a central mullion, providing a comprehensive, unobstructed opening.
Materials:
uPVC: Excellent insulation properties, minimal maintenance requirements, cost-effective and available in various colours and finishes, making it a versatile choice for different architectural styles.
Aluminium: Strong, lightweight, and durable but less energy-efficient than other materials unless it has a thermal break.
Applications & Installation:
Kitchens: These are often installed above counters where reaching to open a window might be difficult.
Bathrooms: Suitable for small spaces where ventilation is essential.
Living Rooms: Provide extensive, unobstructed views and enhance natural light.
Bedrooms: Ideal for emergency egress requirements and good ventilation.
Installation Considerations
Professional Installation: Proper installation is crucial to ensure the windows operate correctly and maintain energy efficiency.
Building Codes: Ensure compliance with local building codes, especially for egress windows in bedrooms.
Orientation: Consider the direction the window will open to avoid obstruction by outdoor elements like trees or fences.
Maintenance:
Regular Cleaning: Clean the glass, frame, and hardware to ensure smooth operation.
Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the hinges and locking mechanisms to prevent sticking using a 3-in-1 oil.
Inspection: Regularly check the seals and weather stripping for wear and tear to maintain energy efficiency.
