What is a casement window?
It is easy to distinguish a casement window, they all open like doors. The window is attached to its frame by hinges, either on the left or the right side. The non-attached side is securely locked into place with latches. Even though their function resembles that of a door, the mechanism used to open them is a friction hinge.
A casement window opens outwards and is attached to its frame by one or multiple hinges. The most common type of casement window is hinged at the side with a crank mechanism for ease of opening. Meanwhile, casement windows that are hinged at the top (or ‘top hung’) are also known as awning windows, as they easily block out the rain, even when open.
There are lots of casement window styles suitable for contemporary or traditional homes. A UPVC casement window frame can be manufactured bespoke to the size of your opening and comes in an attractive range of colours to suit any taste. When paired with robust double glazing, they are highly energy-efficient, saving you money on your heating bills while saving the planet too.
For homes and spaces where ventilation is of paramount importance, casement windows are an excellent choice. This is because they open out like a door to allow for a large amount of airflow in and out. They are also considered to be very safe and secure when shut, with a nice tight seal and the hardware hidden inside the frame itself, which is difficult to tamper with.
Another primary consideration when choosing a window type is, of course, the view. Casement windows score highly in this department too, offering unobstructed views and lots of lovely natural light. When fitted with an automatic opener, they are well-suited to the elderly and those with limited mobility, requiring virtually no effort to open and close.
Flush casement windows are becoming an increasingly popular option, where the window sits seamlessly inside the frame for a smooth flat surface on the outside. They are popular in more modern, minimalistic homes where clean lines are favoured for a flawless design.

What can I do to reduce the cost?
One of the methods to reduce the cost of new windows is by knowing exactly what you are looking for. This includes the style, colour, handles, but also anything linked to security and locking mechanism. You could also take out the old windows and dispose of them yourself, but the drawback is that you will have no guarantees of workmanship and it could make the job harder if the windows have not been taken out properly.
