subject: Benefits Of Casement Windows [print this page] Casement windows are a very popular choice of window. They were often fitted into historic houses and they are now making a bit of a comeback. There are numerous benefits to having this type of window fitted in your home.
Here are just a few of them:
1. They Open Fully: No other types of window open as far as casement windows do. They swing right out. This makes them easy to clean, to paint and to maintain. However, just a safety note of caution - you might want to think carefully about fitting these types of windows in your home, especially for upstairs windows, if you have small children or pets that may go for a tumble out of the window.
2. They allow good ventilation: With the great opening arc of these windows, you can catch side breezes and direct them into your room. Great in summer! They allow a lot of air into any room.
3. They allow protection against robbers: It is pretty difficult to break into a locked casement window. They are fitted with hooked locks embedded into the window frame. They are difficult to tamper with. Of course, if you leave your casement windows wide open and unlocked, then they are much easier to get into, so you have to be sensible.
So, if you take sensible safety and security precautions, casement windows can be a great thing in your home. They are also one of the easiest and cheapest types of windows to install. That is good, especially in these tight economic times when you may well want to save money in buying windows and installing them yourself.
