Casement Windows: Style and Value
The style of window you choose for your home will have a big impact on the way your house looks and how you live. According to Zoom installing new windows is one of the top five renovation projects for UK homeowners to add value and investment to their home whilst enhancing their quality of life.
When it comes to window styles there’s a huge choice available including casement windows, and as for all window styles, you can choose from uPVC or aluminium and of course a stunning choice of colours.
What are casement windows?
Casement windows are one of the most popular choices of windows across Europe. Last year across Hertfordshire we installed over 2500.
Their composition is made up of one or more opening casements (hence their name) hinged to one side. You will often hear them called ‘side-hinged’ windows, and they can be instaled so they are ‘bottom-hung’, ‘top-hung’ and ‘side-hung’.
In addition to the way they are hung, they can also be inwardly opened or outwardly opened. On the whole top-hung windows tend to open outwards. This can make them slightly more challenging to clean as you can only clean, however, you do have an option to chose ‘easy clean hinges’ to make the task much easier.
Our customers really like our range including the choice, versatility, security and energy-efficient benefits that casement windows bring.
Benefits of installing casement windows
Energy efficient
Casement windows come with a tight seal around the edges. This means they retain the heat from inside your home and reduce drafts from outside.
Materials & style
They come in a range of styles, materials and colours to match the style and period of your property. From new towns such as Stevenage and Harlow to older properties in Hertford and St Albans.
Safety
The locking mechanism on casement windows is embedded into the frame. This makes them harder to break into and providing an extra layer of security for you and your property.
Usability
Some of our customers have commented that they find them easier to open.
Light
Our customers have also been pleased with the large glass panels that casement windows offer due to the unobstructed views and amount of light they bring in to their homes.
"Affordable windows have replaced all our windows and one door. We are really pleased not only with the finished product but also the customer service. We would highly recommend".
