Why casement windows are worth considering
WHAT ARE CASEMENT WINDOWS? WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER THEM?
Casement windows are a type of window that opens outward on hinges, similar to a door. They are hinged on one side and typically operated by a crank or lever mechanism, allowing them to swing open and close easily. Here are some key features and benefits of casement windows:
1. Energy Efficiency: Casement windows offer excellent energy efficiency. When closed, they create a tight seal against the window frame, minimizing air leakage and reducing drafts. The sash of a casement window presses against the frame, providing a superior seal compared to other window types. This helps in preventing heat loss during cold winters and heat gain during hot summers.
2. Ventilation: Casement windows are known for their excellent ventilation capabilities. When fully opened, they allow maximum airflow into the room since the entire window opening is unobstructed. The outward opening design catches the breeze and directs it into the room, providing effective natural ventilation. This is particularly beneficial in areas with limited cross-ventilation or for rooms that require increased airflow.
3. Easy Operation and Cleaning: Casement windows are easy to operate with the use of a crank or lever mechanism. They open and close smoothly, making them suitable for hard-to-reach places or for individuals with mobility challenges. Additionally, the outward-opening design makes it easier to clean.
5. Versatility: Casement windows can be installed individually or combined in groups to create custom window configurations. They are the option to meet egress code for bedrooms and can be combined with a fixed section of windows to allow more light into your room.
6. Security: Casement windows offer good security features. The hook-shaped locks embedded in the window frame provide a high level of resistance against forced entry when the window is closed and locked. Additionally, the hinges are typically installed on the interior side of the window, making it difficult for intruders to tamper with the hardware from the outside.
Overall, casement windows are a popular choice for homeowners seeking energy efficiency, ventilation, unobstructed views, and ease of operation. However, it's essential to ensure proper installation and regular maintenance to maintain their performance and longevity. Consulting with Wiebe window professionals can help you determine if casement windows are the right choice for your specific needs and home requirements.

Popular Choices of Energy-Efficient Windows
When considering different window options for energy efficiency in Saskatchewan, here are some popular choices to consider:
1. Dual-pane Windows: Dual-pane windows consist of two layers of glass with an insulating space between them. This space is typically filled with air or inert gas like argon, which helps reduce heat transfer. Dual-pane windows are a more cost effective option for energy efficiency and can provide significant insulation benefits compared to single-pane windows but are still not the best option for our cold winters.
2. Triple-pane Windows: Triple-pane windows offer even better insulation than double-pane windows. They have three layers of glass with two insulating spaces between them, filled with gas. The additional pane and insulating layers enhance the window's thermal performance, reducing heat loss or gain. Triple-pane windows are especially beneficial in extremely cold climates like Saskatchewan.
3. Low-E Coatings: Low-emissivity (low-E) coatings are thin, transparent layers applied to window glass to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that can pass through. These coatings help regulate heat transfer, reflecting heat back into the room during winter and blocking it during summer. Low-E coatings can be used in combination with dual-pane or triple-pane windows to enhance their energy efficiency.
4. Gas Fills: Inert gas like argon are sometimes used to fill the spaces between the glass panes in energy-efficient windows. This gas has higher insulating properties than air, reducing heat conduction and improving energy efficiency. Gas-filled windows are particularly effective in climates with extreme temperatures.
5. Window Frames: While the glass itself plays a significant role in energy efficiency, the window frames also impact insulation. Older wood and aluminum windows are not as energy efficient as the new vinyl or metal clad windows.
6. Window Orientation: Consider the orientation of your windows in relation to the sun's path. South-facing windows receive the most direct sunlight, so having windows with low solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) can help reduce heat gain during hot summers. North-facing windows are generally less affected by direct sunlight and can prioritize insulation to minimize heat loss.
When selecting windows, look for the ENERGY STAR® label, which signifies that the windows meet specific energy efficiency guidelines. Consulting with window professionals or contractors can also provide valuable insights into the best window options for your specific needs and budget.
