When it comes to home design and renovations, casement windows are a popular and versatile choice for many homeowners. These windows not only provide ample light and ventilation but also offer a classic and timeless look. However, choosing the right casement window dimensions in millimeters is crucial for both aesthetic and functional purposes. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the various aspects of casement window sizing and provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision when selecting the perfect casement windows for your home.
Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, either to the left or the right. They are often operated using a crank or lever and can be found in various styles and materials, such as wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Casement windows can be installed as a single unit or as part of a larger window configuration, including bay or bow windows.
While custom sizes are available, there are standard casement window dimensions in millimeters that are commonly used in residential construction. The most common widths for casement windows are 450mm, 600mm, 900mm, and 1200mm. The standard heights range from 600mm to 1800mm, with increments of 300mm. These dimensions can be combined in various ways to create the desired window size. For example, a 900mm wide by 1200mm high casement window is a popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms.
1. Room Size and Function:The size of the room and its purpose play a significant role in determining the appropriate casement window dimensions. Larger rooms, such as living rooms and master bedrooms, may require wider and taller windows to provide sufficient natural light and ventilation. Smaller spaces, such as bathrooms and utility rooms, may only need smaller windows for privacy and limited ventilation.
2. Window Placement:The placement of your casement windows will also impact the dimensions you choose. If you plan to install windows on a wall with limited space, you may need to opt for narrower windows. Additionally, consider the height of the window from the floor, as this can affect both the window's usability and appearance.
3. Architectural Style:The architectural style of your home can also influence the casement window dimensions you select. Traditional homes may feature taller and narrower windows, while modern homes may incorporate wider and shorter windows. Always consider how the window dimensions will complement the overall design and aesthetic of your home.
4. Energy Efficiency:Larger windows can provide more natural light and ventilation, but they can also result in increased heat gain or loss. When selecting casement window dimensions, consider the energy efficiency of the window and how it will impact your home's overall energy consumption.
5. Local Building Codes and Regulations:Before finalizing your casement window dimensions, consult your local building codes and regulations. Some areas may have restrictions on window sizes or require specific dimensions for egress windows (windows that serve as an emergency exit).
While standard casement window sizes are suitable for many applications, there may be situations where custom dimensions are necessary. Custom-sized casement windows can be designed to fit unique architectural features, such as curved walls or gable ends, or to accommodate specific design preferences. When ordering custom casement windows, be prepared to provide the manufacturer with precise measurements and be aware that custom windows may have longer lead times and higher costs.
In addition to single casement windows, there are several other configurations to consider when selecting your window dimensions. Some popular casement window configurations include:
Double Casement Windows:Also known as French casement windows, these consist of two casement windows side by side, opening from the center. This configuration can create a larger opening for ventilation and unobstructed views.
Casement Window Combinations:Casement windows can be combined with other window styles, such as picture windows or transom windows, to create unique window configurations. This can add visual interest to your home while also providing the functional benefits of casement windows.
In conclusion, choosing the right casement window dimensions in millimeters is essential for both the appearance and functionality of your home. By considering factors such as room size, window placement, architectural style, energy efficiency, and local building codes, you can select the perfect casement windows to enhance your living space.
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.
