Choosing the Perfect Window Coverings for Casement Windows with Crank

Introduction

Casement windows with crank are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their versatility, energy efficiency, and ease of use. These windows feature a hinge on one side and open outward with the help of a crank mechanism. While they offer excellent ventilation and natural light, finding the right window coverings for casement windows with crank can be a challenge. In this blog post, we will explore various window treatment options to help you find the perfect solution for your casement windows.

Classic Curtains

Curtains are a timeless choice for window coverings, and they can work well with casement windows with crank. Opt for lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, or sheer materials to allow natural light to filter through while still providing privacy. You can also choose heavier fabrics like velvet or blackout curtains if you prefer more insulation and light control.

One thing to consider with curtains is the mounting hardware. Since casement windows open outward, you'll need to install the curtain rod a few inches above the window frame to ensure the curtains don't interfere with the crank mechanism.

Stylish Roman Shades

Roman shades are a versatile and elegant option for casement windows with crank. They are made of fabric that can be easily raised or lowered using a cord or chain system. Roman shades come in various styles, including flat, hobbled, and relaxed, allowing you to choose a design that complements your home decor.

To install Roman shades on casement windows with crank, you can either mount them inside the window frame or outside the frame. If you choose an inside mount, make sure there's enough clearance for the crank handle to operate smoothly. For an outside mount, install the shade above the window frame to avoid interference with the crank.

Modern Cellular Shades

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are a popular choice for casement windows with crank due to their energy efficiency and sleek design. These shades feature a unique honeycomb construction that traps air, providing insulation and reducing heat transfer. Cellular shades can be customized in various colors, textures, and light control options, such as light filtering or blackout.

When installing cellular shades on casement windows with crank, opt for an outside mount to ensure the shade doesn't obstruct the crank mechanism. You can also choose a top-down/bottom-up feature, which allows you to lower the shade from the top for added privacy and light control.

Practical Roller Shades

Roller shades are a simple and affordable window covering option for casement windows with crank. They consist of a single piece of fabric that rolls up onto a tube and can be easily raised or lowered with a chain or cordless mechanism. Roller shades are available in various materials, including sheer, light filtering, and blackout fabrics.

For casement windows with crank, an outside mount is recommended to avoid interference with the crank handle. You can also choose a reverse roll option, which hides the roll of fabric at the top, creating a clean and minimalist look.

Versatile Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters are a classic and durable window treatment option for casement windows with crank. They consist of horizontal louvers mounted within a frame that can be opened or closed for light control and privacy. Plantation shutters can be custom-made from various materials, including wood, composite, and vinyl, to match your home's style and decor.

To install plantation shutters on casement windows with crank, you'll need to choose a frame that accommodates the crank handle. A popular option is a Z-frame, which sits on top of the window trim and provides enough clearance for the crank mechanism.

Final Thoughts

Selecting the perfect window coverings for casement windows with crank can be a daunting task, but with the right information and a variety of options to choose from, you can find the ideal solution for your home. Whether you prefer the classic look of curtains, the elegance of Roman shades, the energy efficiency of cellular shades, the simplicity of roller shades, or the durability of plantation shutters, there's a window treatment that will enhance your casement windows and complement your home's style.

INSPIRATION & SOLUTION

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.

Simulated Hung Window with Tilt & Turn Openings

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.

Large Energy Efficient Fixed 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.

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.
