Casement Windows: Features and Benefits

Posted on July 28, 2018 by Robert Hadiwidjaja

If you are replacing windows in your home it’s important to get the right type. Not only do you need something in keeping with the style of the property, you need to think about, practicality, security, long life and energy efficiency.

Casement windows are the most popular type of window in the UK, but why are they so popular and what advantages do they offer?

The case for casements

Most new windows today are made of UPVC. This offers a number of advantages in terms of low maintenance, good looks, and of course, energy efficiency. Combine these frames with the latest double glazing https://www.cse.org.uk/advice/advice-and-support/energy-efficient-glazing-double-glazing and you have an efficient insulating barrier that slows down heat loss from your home. Modern glass has a low emissivity coating that helps reflect heat back into the room, helping you cut your fuel bills. Tightly fitting seals help to cut draughts too.

The latest casements will make your home more secure too thanks to multi-point fastenings allowing them to be locked closed or partially open to allow ventilation while you’re out.

UPVC versus wood

So, why would you choose a UPVC casement from somewhere like https://www.firmfix.co.uk/windows/casement-windows/ over a wooden one? There’s no doubt that wood looks attractive, but thanks to the latest technology it’s possible to have UPVC windows that look surprisingly like wood but you retain the benefits of long life and low maintenance. The range of different styles available means UPVC casements are now suitable for many properties.

Timber windows can last a long time if properly looked after, however, they do require ongoing maintenance. They need to be painted or stained regularly and this may need to be done more often in exposed locations. UPVC on the other hand just needs an occasional wipe down to keep it looking smart.

While the latest timber windows fitted with double glazing can be quite energy efficient, they are still likely to be less good than UPVC. This is because the frames expand and contract, leading to gaps and draughts, and they don’t seal as tightly when closed. This means that over the life of the windows you will save more on your energy bills by fitting UPVC. When you come to sell, modern, smart, energy-efficient windows can also make your home a more attractive proposition for buyers.
