Casement windows feature hinges at their sides and extend outward, offering superb ventilation. Furthermore, casement windows outshone other classic window types when it came to energy efficiency, security and style.
Multi-pane units featuring double glazing and filled with either argon or krypton gas offer superior insulation, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer. Low emissivity coating may further help decrease solar heat gain and UV ray exposure.
Unobstructed Views
When it comes time to upgrade their windows, homeowners have many styles from which to select when replacing their old ones. Some styles may be more popular than others, yet every window type offers its own set of advantages.
Casement windows offer unobstructed views when opened, making them the ideal choice for rooms with stunning vistas. Furthermore, due to being taller from top to bottom than other forms of window designs, casement windows allow light into areas of your home which otherwise remain dark.
Casement windows can also be opened to a full 90 degree angle for enhanced airflow. Unlike double hung or slider windows that only open halfway, casement windows allow fresh breezes into your home at any time of year – especially during hotter summer months when keeping cool airflow will help keep things comfortable in your home.
Casement windows feature one additional advantage in that they can only be opened by turning the crank, making it more difficult for intruders to gain entry through them. This feature can also protect homes with young children by preventing them from opening them in an unsafe manner and possibly escaping. Casements windows are an ideal choice for meeting fire code regulations in Canada as egress windows, required in all bedrooms.
Ventilation
Casement windows feature hinges that open at 90-degree angles to allow air into your home without blocking natural light or views. Plus, depending on your preferences you can opt to have screens installed with them as well.
Casement windows provide ample ventilation during hot summer days by opening wide to let in side breezes from outside your home, providing much-needed relief from overheated rooms. Simply turn the handle and let air rush in for maximum cooling effect – unlike double hung windows which only open halfway.
Casement windows also offer increased levels of security and privacy in your Winnipeg home, providing enhanced levels of protection and privacy from intruders. Their stronger locking mechanism makes it harder for intruders to gain entry through them.
Casement windows not only offer unobstructed views and excellent ventilation, but are also energy-efficient. Equipped with Low-E glass that protects from UV rays during summer months and keeps heat in during the winter, you can even add argon or krypton gas fill for added insulation – saving money year-round on energy costs!
Temperature Control
Casement windows feature tight closing mechanisms that create an airtight seal when closed, making them the ideal way to keep wind and rain outside of your home, as well as helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures all year long. Their tight seal also reduces drafts while saving energy on heating and cooling costs.
Casement windows combine sleek designs with weatherproof performance for the ideal additions for any home. Available in various glass options such as clear, softwave, seedy and hammered for different levels of privacy as well as multiple frames made from aluminum, vinyl and wood for your selection, casement windows offer versatility that no other window type can.
The sash is attached to the frame using a roto-gear and crank for effortless operation, providing maximum ventilation while easily controlling airflow. Plus, this design comes complete with an insect screen to keep unwanted pests out!

Energy Efficiency
Your windows are more than a mere decorative accent for your Winnipeg home; they’re integral parts of its insulation and energy efficiency. Selecting appropriate window types and styles can help lower energy bills while increasing comfort levels in the space and even raising its property value.
Like double hung and slider windows, casement windows in Winnipeg can also be equipped with double or triple panes to increase energy efficiency, helping your home remain comfortable throughout Winnipeg winter. Their low u-factor and sash-to-frame seal prevent heat transfer for superior thermal performance.
Fusion-welded sash and frame corners add strength and weathertightness to casement windows for long-term weathertight performance. Choose from various finishes and colours such as glacier white, coastal blue, vanilla, slate grey, safe green or natural cream. Grilles between panes may also be added for an attractive, maintenance-free look and various levels of privacy.
Choose double or triple-glazed units with energy star ratings to reduce heating and cooling costs. Argon gas can be added to the window’s glazing space to help further block outside temperatures from impacting your home’s temperature, and Low-E coatings on insulated glass reduce ultraviolet rays to keep you warm in winter while staying cool during summer.
Easy Operation
Casement windows are easier to operate than double-hung ones due to their vertical hinges that open vertically, and with wide-opening capabilities they allow in plenty of fresh air. Furthermore, casements can help funnel cool breezes into your home from outside – an especially handy feature if your neighborhood lacks much space between houses allowing air flow between homes.
Sash windows also provide superior security to other window styles, due to being sealed inside their frames, making it harder for intruders to break in through this style of window. They also feature an extra layer of protection by embedding hook-shaped locks into their frames for extra layer of security against break-ins.
Ecoline also provides homeowners with an impressive selection of custom-made windows designed to add unique style and energy efficiency to their home. Ecoline’s windows can be tailored to fit with any design style from traditional to modern; from picture windows and triple pane energy efficient models, to those featuring low emissivity glass coating for optimal energy savings.

Maintenance
Shopping for new or replacement windows requires careful consideration, with selecting appropriate window styles being key to maintaining comfort, efficiency and style in your home.
Casement windows feature hinged-one side hinges and open outward like doors to provide ventilation while still blocking out elements like weather and noise. Plus, their airtight seal makes cleaning them simple! Whether your aesthetic leans toward classic or contemporary looks, casements offer endless design possibilities that are suitable for your next project.
If you’re concerned about break-ins, locking all four sides of your casement windows is one way to provide extra security. Locks with hook-shaped hooks make it more difficult for criminals to force open your windows from outside.
Casement windows provide additional benefits by creating an airtight seal against airflow, keeping your interior warmer in winter and cooler in summer while reducing condensation for an enhanced level of comfort.
Coordinate the new casement windows you install into other window designs with ease during your installation project. Choose from exterior standard colors, paint-to-order colours or interior colour matching to find an aesthetic match for your decor. Furthermore, there are various hardware options to complete the look of your window such as double manual or crank handles as well as decorative grids and grilles that you can add for a finished look.
