Casement windows are becoming more and more popular among homeowners today, mainly because of their simplicity and elegance. However, these windows can offer more than just amazing looks.    

Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania shares five reasons that make casement windows worth considering for your upcoming project in Central, PA.

1. Maximum Light and Ventilation

Casement windows are usually taller than other styles and open all the way outward. Therefore, they will allow plenty of light and air into your home. When the weather is pleasant, you can open their sashes fully to enjoy the natural breeze and sunshine while reducing your energy consumption.

2. Energy Efficiency

Casement windows are at the top when it comes to energy efficiency. They are built with thick insulated glass. It has a tight seal that prevents any air from coming into your home. Casement replacement windows are a great window for sunrooms because they come in Solar Low E glass or Ultra Solar S glass options.

3. Ease of Maintenance

Casement windows only have two big glass panes that need to be cleaned. And since they are placed separately, opposite to one another, it is easier to clean them. The challenge in cleaning this type of window is in cleaning the hinges. Metal hinges are prone to rust, therefore it needs to be checked and even sealed regularly. 

4. Design Versatility

Casement windows look good on any home, so you can mix and match your options to create a design that complements your overall theme. You can combine them with other window styles, such as sliding windows, picture or bay and bow windows, to achieve a stunning effect.

5. High-Security Ratings

Casement windows shut thoroughly on all sides, making it extremely challenging for a person to break in. Even if someone breaks the glass while trying to gain entry to your home, reaching in to turn the crank can be challenging. Consequently, casement windows get high marks from individuals and families that want their windows to be safe and attractive.
