Summer is here, and with it comes the scorching heat. For many homeowners, a casement window air conditioning unit is the perfect solution to keep their living spaces cool and comfortable. These units are designed to fit into narrow, vertical windows, making them an ideal choice for homes with limited space. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of installing a casement window AC unit, ensuring that you can enjoy a cool and comfortable home all summer long.
Before you begin the installation process, it's essential to ensure that you have all the necessary tools and materials on hand. You will need the following items:
A casement window AC unit
A window support bracket (if not included with the unit)
A power drill with a 1/8-inch drill bit
A screwdriver
A level
A tape measure
A pencil
A utility knife
Weatherstripping
Foam insulation
Wood screws
A window lock
Once you have gathered all your tools and materials, you can begin the installation process.
First, you need to measure the width and height of your casement window to ensure that the AC unit will fit properly. Open the window and measure the width of the window frame from the inside. Then, measure the height of the window from the bottom of the frame to the top of the window sash.
Next, mark the center of the window frame on the bottom sill using a pencil. This will be the point where the bottom of the AC unit will rest.
If your casement window AC unit does not come with a support bracket, you will need to purchase one separately. This bracket is essential for holding the weight of the air conditioner and preventing it from falling out of the window.
Attach the support bracket to the bottom sill of the window using wood screws. Make sure the bracket is level and centered on the window frame. If necessary, you can adjust the bracket's position to ensure that it is properly aligned.
Remove the AC unit from its packaging and carefully read the manufacturer's instructions. Some units may require assembly before installation.
Attach any necessary mounting brackets or rails to the sides of the AC unit, as per the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure these attachments are secure and properly aligned.
With the help of another person, carefully lift the AC unit and place it on the support bracket, making sure it is centered on the window frame. Slowly close the window sash onto the top of the unit, ensuring that it is tightly sealed against the unit.
Secure the AC unit to the window frame using the provided hardware or wood screws. Make sure the unit is securely fastened and cannot be easily removed.
To prevent air leaks and improve the efficiency of your casement window AC unit, you will need to seal the gaps around the unit. Use weatherstripping to seal the gap between the top of the AC unit and the window sash. Additionally, use foam insulation to fill any gaps around the sides of the unit.
Finally, install a window lock on the window sash to prevent the window from being opened accidentally.
Once your casement window AC unit is securely installed, plug it into an electrical outlet and test its functionality. Turn on the unit and adjust the settings to your desired temperature. Make sure the unit is operating correctly and efficiently cooling your living space.
With your casement window AC unit properly installed, you can now enjoy a cool and comfortable home throughout the hottest months of the year. By following this step-by-step guide, you can ensure that your AC unit is securely and efficiently installed, providing you with the relief you need during those sweltering summer days.
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. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

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.
Every window’s placement and shape not only add to the uniqueness of this home but also provide a more energy-saving ability for the owners.
Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.
Aluminum Door offered an air of uniqueness and elegance to a home. With their luxurious patterns and beautiful finishes, it provides this house with a bounty of aesthetics and security. Aluminum entry doors allow you to resist any weather extremes, corrosion, and pests. So aluminum is one of the most resilient and durable materials you can select for front doors considering the price/performance ratio.

For windows and doors, hardware is as important as the engine is to the car. The continuous technological innovation of the European hardware industry has strongly promoted the performance improvement and functional innovation of windows and doors. In this project, Doorwin uses Hoppe™ multi-point locks, hinges, and handles from Germany.
Multi-point lock systems provide not only the burglar-resistance but also a tighter compression seam, making the window keeps good energy-efficient performance. Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.
We have several international patents to reduce clients’ labor costs, such as our unique flanges and assembly type tubular design, which is different from the other products on the market. What sets us apart among Chinese counterpart is that all our products are equipped with nail fin structures for quick and easy installation. Labor costs during installation may exceed of the window and door price, therefore, our exclusive patent allows users to not only get a significant increase in installation efficiency, but also greatly reduce the labor cost of window and door installation. A cost that may bring you unexpected savings that far exceed the price difference you may care about now.
With our own expertise, we provided the no-cost design development and contract documentation with CAD & BIM drawings, including elevation, details about the project, and installation help.
Before production, we will provide accurate sample drawings, which will clearly show the cross-sectional pattern, size, opening method and direction, pattern of the warm spacer, and the installation nodes. We will not go into production until you have signed off on the drawing to ensure that you receive a final product that meets the exact requirements of your project.
