Orange Park homeowners who’ve chosen new replacement windows enjoy exceptional energy efficiency and expansive outdoor views. They also lower their monthly energy bills and enjoy a warmer home in the winter and a cooler one in the summer.
Hinged on the side and swinging outward like a door, casement windows provide superior ventilation. Unlike other window types, they can be opened as wide as possible to catch side breezes.
Energy Efficiency
The primary reason that many homeowners invest in window replacement is to improve their home’s energy efficiency. With double panes of insulated glass and a durable frame, these new windows help your HVAC system operate more efficiently throughout the year, potentially lowering your monthly energy bills.
Furthermore, because they are hinged on one side and open outward, casement windows offer superior ventilation. You can fully open them by cranking or pushing outward, which creates the largest opening within the frame for air to flow through. This is a great way to catch side breezes in the summer and redirect them into your home’s interior.
Moreover, when you choose an ENERGY STAR qualified window from Preferred Upgrades, it will be made with state-of-the-art insulating technology to better insulate your home and reduce heat transfer. This will help your air conditioner work more efficiently during the summer, cutting down on your energy bills. This type of insulation is also great for keeping your home warmer in the winter.
Ventilation
With casement windows, you can enjoy a wide view and plenty of fresh air. Unlike other window styles, which slide along a track, these windows open with side-mounted hinges to catch the breeze and direct it into your home.
Moreover, these windows seal tightly when closed, reducing drafts and energy bills. You can also count on them to keep your indoor space comfortable throughout the year, even during sweltering Florida summers.
With other window types, intruders can easily break the glass and lift the sash to enter your home. However, intruders can’t break the glass or reach the hand crank of a casement window, making them a great option for high-security homes.
Security
Unlike double-hung windows that use two sashes to open, casement windows hinge on one side and crank outward. Because they open using a crank, they can be difficult to break into.
When closed, these windows also seal tightly. Combined with the locking mechanisms embedded in their frame, this makes them a solid choice for homeowners who want to prevent intruders from entering.
However, it is important to note that these windows can obstruct walkways when they are opened all the way. This could be a concern for homeowners with small homes. Also, the crank mechanism can cause these windows to require more maintenance than other window types, although this is a rare issue. Overall, these windows are a great option for homeowners looking for a sturdy, reliable replacement window that provides optimal ventilation and a clear view of the outdoors. You can find more information about them online or contact a professional for more details.
