There’s aren’t many windows quite like the casement window. They are the best for insulating the room, preventing drafts and reflecting heat. This makes it the most energy-efficient of its kind today. However, one important thing to consider is that the casement doesn’t have to be alone.
Casement Windows and Picture Windows
A picture window is a fixed window pane that does not open, designed only to show you a view of the outside. However, it can become drab and might feel unnecessary after some time.
You don’t need to get replacement windows to improve this design, though. Casement windows can be an aesthetic, yet functional, complement. It doesn’t reduce the casement’s capacity to prevent drafts. And by adding these to a room with a picture window, you now effectively have an installation that can control ventilation and improve the natural light going into your home – while giving you a great view outside.
Casement Windows and Garden Windows
Another good window pairing can be done with a garden window. Usually, a garden window is designed to accommodate only sunlight. While it does give sunlight, it can sometimes be tough to clean both sides of the glass, and they don’t allow for ventilation.
With casement windows as the main glass, you still get the sunlight you want. At the same time, you can swing it open and clean the interior and exterior without having to move your decorations or plants.
Casement Windows and Bow and Bay Windows
Similar to a garden window, bow and bay windows also jut out of the exterior wall and bring in sunlight. Unlike garden windows, however, you can use the additional space for more than decorations; you even can use it as a reading nook, a seat or even a bed.
Bow windows come in four to six pieces to form a gentle arch while bay windows are more angular, with the flanking windows usually an operable unit like a casement window. Adding a casement window replacement for one of the units can improve the whole by bringing in more sun and ventilating the room without sacrificing the additional space.
