Casement windows are a popular choice among homeowners due to their versatility and timeless appeal. They offer excellent ventilation, natural light, and unobstructed views, making them a perfect addition to any home. However, to fully enjoy the benefits of casement windows, it is essential to have high-quality screens that not only provide protection from insects and debris but also add to the overall aesthetics of your home. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of custom-made casement window screens and how they can enhance the style and functionality of your home.
Casement window screens are an essential accessory for any casement window. They serve multiple purposes, such as:
1. Insect protection:Screens keep insects and other pests out of your home while allowing fresh air to circulate. This is especially important during the warmer months when insects are more active.
2. Debris protection:Screens also prevent leaves, dust, and other debris from entering your home, helping to maintain a clean and healthy living environment.
3. Privacy:Casement window screens can provide an added layer of privacy, particularly if you live in a densely populated area or have neighbors with a direct view of your windows.
4. Aesthetics:Custom-made casement window screens can enhance the overall appearance of your home by adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
While standard casement window screens are readily available, they may not always be the best option for your home. Custom-made screens offer several advantages over their standard counterparts, including:
1. Perfect fit:Custom-made casement window screens are designed to fit your specific window dimensions, ensuring a tight and secure fit. This is particularly important for older homes where window sizes may not conform to modern standards.
2. Material selection:With custom-made screens, you have the option to choose from a variety of materials, including aluminum, fiberglass, and stainless steel. This allows you to select the best material for your specific needs and preferences.
3. Color and style options:Custom-made screens also offer a wider range of color and style options, allowing you to match the screens to your existing window frames and overall home decor.
4. Increased durability:Because custom-made screens are tailored to your specific window dimensions, they are less likely to sag or warp over time, ensuring a longer lifespan.
When selecting custom-made casement window screens, there are several factors to consider:
1. Material:As mentioned earlier, screens are available in a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. Aluminum screens are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, while fiberglass screens are more affordable and easier to install. Stainless steel screens offer the highest level of durability and are resistant to rust and corrosion, but they may be more expensive than other options.
2. Mesh size:The size of the mesh is an important consideration, as it determines the level of protection and visibility provided by the screen. Smaller mesh sizes offer greater protection from insects but may reduce visibility and airflow. Larger mesh sizes allow for better visibility and airflow but may be less effective at keeping out smaller insects.
3. Frame style:The frame style of your custom-made casement window screens can also impact the overall aesthetics of your home. Options include standard frames, which are typically made of aluminum or vinyl, and more decorative frames that may feature intricate designs or patterns.
4. Installation:While some homeowners may choose to install their custom-made casement window screens themselves, it is often recommended to hire a professional for the job. This ensures a proper fit and installation, which can greatly impact the screen's effectiveness and longevity.
Custom-made casement window screens are an excellent investment for any homeowner looking to enhance the style and functionality of their casement windows. By choosing the right materials, mesh size, and frame style, you can create a tailored solution that not only protects your home from insects and debris but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. With the added benefits of a perfect fit and increased durability, custom-made screens are a smart choice for any homeowner looking to get the most out of their casement windows.
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.
With pieces of double panes, and Low-E tempered glass. The door provides a good insulation performance.

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.
