These windows are hinged on the side and open outward, providing excellent ventilation and unobstructed views. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of push out casement windows, exploring their benefits, design options, and installation tips. With over 1000 words, this comprehensive guide will provide all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether push out casement windows are the right choice for your home.
One of the most significant advantages of push out casement windows is their ability to provide excellent ventilation. Since they open outward, they can catch and direct fresh air into your home, even when there is only a slight breeze. This feature is particularly beneficial in rooms that require more airflow, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Push out casement windows offer unobstructed views, thanks to their large glass panes and minimal framing. This design allows you to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, whether you have a picturesque landscape or an urban skyline. Additionally, the absence of a central rail, as found in double-hung windows, means that there is no obstruction to your line of sight.
Push out casement windows are known for their energy efficiency. The window sash presses tightly against the frame when closed, creating an airtight seal that prevents drafts and air leaks. This feature helps to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and reduce your energy consumption, ultimately lowering your heating and cooling costs.
The locking mechanism of push out casement windows is embedded within the window frame, making it difficult for intruders to tamper with or force open. Additionally, the windows can be equipped with multi-point locking systems for added security.
Push out casement windows are available in various materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass. Each material offers its unique benefits and aesthetic appeal:
Wood:Traditional and elegant, wood windows provide excellent insulation and can be painted or stained to match your home's décor.
Vinyl:Low-maintenance and budget-friendly, vinyl windows are resistant to warping, cracking, and fading.
Aluminum:Lightweight and durable, aluminum windows offer a modern look and can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Fiberglass:Combining the beauty of wood with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl, fiberglass windows are strong, energy-efficient, and resistant to warping and rotting.
Grid patterns can add character and style to your push out casement windows. Some popular grid options include:
Colonial:A classic grid pattern featuring evenly spaced horizontal and vertical bars.
Prairie:A design with a perimeter of small square panes surrounding a central, unobstructed glass area.
Diamond:A pattern featuring diagonal grid lines that create a diamond-shaped design.
The hardware you choose for your push out casement windows can make a significant impact on their overall appearance. Options include traditional handles, sleek modern designs, and even folding handles that tuck away when not in use. Finish options range from polished brass to matte black, allowing you to find the perfect match for your home's aesthetic.
Before ordering your push out casement windows, it is crucial to take accurate measurements of your existing window openings. This step ensures that your new windows will fit correctly and function as intended.
While it may be tempting to save money by installing your push out casement windows yourself, it is generally recommended to hire a professional window installer. A professional will have the necessary tools, experience, and knowledge to ensure that your windows are installed correctly and securely.
To keep your push out casement windows looking and functioning their best, regular maintenance is essential. This includes cleaning the glass, lubricating the hinges and locking mechanisms, and inspecting the weatherstripping for wear and tear.
Push out casement windows are an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a window style that combines beauty, functionality, and energy efficiency. With various design options and materials available, you can customize these windows to suit your home's unique aesthetic. By following proper installation and maintenance practices, your push out casement windows will provide years of enjoyment and comfort.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels.

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.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
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.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
