You’re unlikely to walk through a street in England without spotting the familiar rectangular frames of a casement window.
The UK’s most popular window style, casement windows are renowned for their ease of use and versatility, attached to their frame by one or more hinges at the side, top, or bottom.
However, even when choosing a simplistic casement window, there are various factors that homeowners will need to take into account – such as frame material, style, and finish.
Here at Crown, we help homeowners across Milton Keynes and wider Buckinghamshire to find stylish solutions for their property, with this blog taking a deep dive into the world of casement windows.
What Are Casement Windows?
Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, a bit like a door. They’re easy to operate, offer maximum ventilation, and give you unobstructed views of the outside world.
Thanks to modern double glazing and clever manufacturing, today’s casement windows deliver excellent thermal efficiency, security, and natural light – perfect for busy family homes, quiet retreats, and everything in between.
Materials: uPVC vs Aluminium Casement Windows
uPVC Windows
uPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. It’s a strong, rigid type of plastic that’s incredibly popular for window frames thanks to its durability, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness.
uPVC doesn’t rot, rust, or corrode over time, making it ideal for the unpredictable British weather. Plus, modern uPVC is available in a wide choice of colours and wood-effect finishes, so you’re not limited to plain white anymore.
Benefits of uPVC casement windows:
- Excellent energy efficiency to help cut down on heating bills
- Weather-resistant and won’t warp or discolour
- Affordable option without compromising on quality
- Wide range of colours and realistic timber-look finishes
Aluminium Windows
Aluminium is a naturally strong, lightweight metal that’s been used in home improvement for decades.
Modern aluminium windows use thermally broken frames – a clever design that reduces heat transfer and boosts energy efficiency. Aluminium offers a sleek, contemporary look with slim sightlines that maximise your view and let in plenty of natural light.
Benefits of aluminium casement windows:
- Exceptionally strong yet lightweight
- Slim frames for a modern, minimal look
- Highly durable and resistant to rust and corrosion
- Available in a huge choice of colours, with powder-coated finishes that won’t fade over time
