Fixed Casement Windows
Your Personal Style
As everyone knows, any type of fixed window is the highest form of energy efficiency, without depriving the need for lots of natural light. When you
combine a popular type of window and make it a fixed presence in your home, cottage or office, it is a win-win investment! This is what makes fixed
casement windows so desireable by builders and homeowners. Casement windows use cutting edge technologies and strikingly beautiful features that highly
compliment any structure. Normally, casement windows have a hand crank that is used to open the window panes outwards, providing maximum fresh air
exchange, but when they are fixed, they no longer open at all, rather, they are a gorgeous focal point of the home or office, but provide outstanding
energy savings. Your personal style can be addressed with fixed casement windows with a huge scope of choices, designer colour variations, rich framing
materials options and various glass pane selections.

There is a huge number of benefits to having fixed casement windows in your home or office, beginning with the modernity and architectural-complimenting
styles that are available. With endless possibilities, you can combine your fixed casement windows with other types of fixed windows (like picture windows),
or, with functioning casement windows that do open & close, to develop your own personal statement. Combine these windows with larger bow or bay windows
really do pack that ‘wow’ factor, or, incorporate them with the unique single & double hung windows for better functionality. Other considerations would be
to couple fixed casement windows with single & double slider windows for a modern twist that enhances traditional styles of useable windows. The variety
of choices allows you to really meet your budget, without giving up richly finished windows that compliment interior designs and exterior curb and street
side appeal.

Whereas casement windows have operational functions that would be discussed here to outline its performance factors, fixed casement windows also provide
a big perk with performance…its heightened execution of security and safety factors. Having a fixed position without movable parts and functions, fixed
casement windows are an outstanding source of security, without giving up the façade appeal and interior designs. Again, without any opening options,
there is a huge safety factor that makes these windows appealing for people with pets that like to try to escape via pushing out window screens, or for
families with small children that have a curious nature. The benefits to purchasing fixed casement windows is also a big security & safety factor for
buildings with liability like business offices and ‘getaway’ cottages that sit vacant throughout the winter months.
Fixed Casement Windows Sound Insulation
Casement windows are known for their additional and ideal insulating factors through their innovative engineering, but fixed casement windows offer so
much more for the transmission of sound. As casement windows are operational but are manufactured to sit tightly when closed & sealed tight, they have a
higher sound blocking rating. With fixed casement windows, its stationary position does provide a better sound barrier to outside noises, making the
transmission of sound subtle. When choosing glass styles, they are just as diverse as window choices, from decorative glass, or plain glass or even
textured glass, with a double or single glazing (the glazing is what dictates the transmission of heat and sound). Adding glazing layers to fixed
casement windows is an option, just like having fixed casement windows custom made, is another creative and personal taste option!

The structural integrity of casement windows and the high-tech advances in engineering casement windows makes them stand alone with energy efficiency,
but when they are designed to be fixed casement windows, their energy-effectiveness is unsurpassed for higher ratings! There are more insulating factors
