There are several places where you can find used casement windows for sale. Some of these include:

When shopping for used casement windows, keep the following tips in mind to ensure you find the right ones for your home renovation project:
1. Measure Your Space: Before purchasing any used windows, be sure to measure the space where they will be installed. This will help you avoid buying windows that are too large or too small for your needs.
2. Inspect for Damage: Thoroughly inspect each window for any signs of damage, such as cracks, rot, or warping. While some minor issues can be repaired, it's best to avoid windows with significant damage that could compromise their functionality.
3. Consider Energy Efficiency: Look for used casement windows with double or triple-pane glass, as these are more energy-efficient than single-pane windows. Additionally, check the window's weatherstripping and seals to ensure they are in good condition.
4. Match Your Home's Style: When selecting used casement windows, consider the overall style of your home. Look for windows that complement your home's architecture and existing design elements.
5. Plan for Repainting or Refinishing: Used casement windows may require some TLC, such as repainting or refinishing, to match your home's color scheme and aesthetic. Be prepared to put in some work to make your used windows look like new.
Once you have found the perfect used casement windows for your home renovation project, it's time to get creative. Consider the following ideas for incorporating these windows into your home:
1. Create a Window Wall: Install multiple used casement windows side by side to create a stunning window wall that allows for ample natural light and ventilation.
2. Add a Window Seat: If you have a large, open space in your home, consider installing a used casement window and building a cozy window seat beneath it.
3. Use Windows as Room Dividers: In an open-concept living space, consider using used casement windows as room dividers to create separate areas while maintaining an open and airy feel.
4. Install Windows in Unconventional Spaces: Think outside the box and install used casement windows in unconventional spaces, such as in a basement or attic, to bring in natural light and fresh air.

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.
