Before you can begin the installation process, you need to choose the right casement windows for your home. Here are some factors to consider when selecting your new windows:
1. Material: Casement windows are available in various materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass. Each material has its pros and cons, so consider factors such as durability, maintenance, and energy efficiency when making your decision.
2. Size: Measure the size of your existing windows to ensure that your new casement windows will fit properly. It's essential to take accurate measurements, as even a small mistake can cause issues during installation.
3. Energy Efficiency: Look for windows with a high energy efficiency rating, as this will help reduce your energy bills and keep your home more comfortable year-round. Features such as double or triple glazing, low-E glass, and proper insulation can significantly improve a window's energy efficiency.
4. Style: Casement windows come in various styles, including traditional, contemporary, and custom designs. Choose a style that complements your home's architecture and suits your personal preferences.
5. Hardware: Consider the type of hardware you want for your casement windows, such as handles, locks, and hinges. Ensure that the hardware is of high quality and matches the overall style of your windows.
Before you begin installing your new casement windows, you'll need to prepare the area. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Remove old windows: Carefully remove your old windows, taking care not to damage the surrounding wall or window frame. You may need to use a pry bar, utility knife, or other tools to remove the old window.
2. Inspect the opening: Once the old window is removed, inspect the opening for any damage or rot. Repair any issues before proceeding with the installation.
3. Clean the area: Clean the window opening, removing any debris, dust, or dirt. This will ensure a proper fit for your new casement windows.
4. Gather necessary tools and materials: Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed for the installation, such as a level, drill, screws, shims, and caulk.
Now that you have chosen your new casement windows and prepared the area, it's time to begin the installation process. Follow these steps to ensure a successful installation:
1. Dry fit the window: Before securing the window in place, do a dry fit to ensure it fits properly in the opening. Place the window in the opening and use a level to check that it is square and plumb. If necessary, use shims to adjust the window's position.
2. Secure the window: Once you are satisfied with the window's position, secure it in place using screws. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the proper placement and number of screws.
3. Check for gaps: Inspect the window for any gaps between the frame and the wall. If you find any gaps, use shims to adjust the window's position and eliminate the gaps.
4. Insulate the window: To ensure your new casement windows are energy efficient, insulate the space between the window frame and the wall. You can use expanding foam insulation or fiberglass insulation, depending on your preference.
5. Seal the window: Apply a high-quality exterior caulk around the perimeter of the window to create a watertight seal. Be sure to use a caulk that is compatible with both the window material and the exterior surface of your home.
6. Install the hardware: Attach the hardware, such as handles and locks, to your new casement windows. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation.
7. Finish the interior: If necessary, install interior trim around your new casement windows to create a polished, finished look.
To ensure that your casement window installation goes smoothly, keep these tips in mind:
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific casement windows.
Take your time and double-check your measurements and leveling before securing the window in place.
If you're unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a professional for assistance.
With this comprehensive guide, you should now have all the information you need to successfully install your new casement windows.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.

Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
