These windows not only add a touch of elegance and style to your home but also offer numerous practical benefits. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of double casement windows, exploring their features, benefits, and how they can enhance the overall aesthetic of your home.
Before we dive into the details, let's first understand what double casement windows are. A casement window is a type of window that is hinged on one side and opens outward, similar to a door. Double casement windows, as the name suggests, consist of two casement windows that are installed side by side and open in opposite directions. These windows are often operated using a crank handle, allowing for easy opening and closing.
Double casement windows come with a host of features that make them a popular choice among homeowners. Some of these features include:
1. Versatility: Double casement windows are suitable for various architectural styles, from traditional to modern homes. Their design can be customized to match your home's aesthetic, making them a versatile option.
2. Energy Efficiency: These windows offer excellent energy efficiency, as they form a tight seal when closed. This helps in reducing drafts and heat loss, ultimately lowering your energy bills.
3. Ease of Use: The crank handle mechanism makes it easy to open and close double casement windows, even for those with limited mobility.
4. Improved Ventilation: Since both sashes of the double casement window can be opened, they provide excellent ventilation, allowing fresh air to flow freely through your home.
5. Unobstructed Views: With no central vertical bar, double casement windows offer unobstructed views of the outdoors, making them an ideal choice for rooms with picturesque views.
Now that we have looked at the features of double casement windows, let's explore some of the benefits they offer:
1. Aesthetic Appeal: Double casement windows are visually appealing and can enhance the overall look of your home. They can be customized with various materials, colors, and hardware options to match your home's style.
2. Increased Home Value: Installing double casement windows can increase the value of your home, as they are considered a high-quality window option. Prospective buyers may appreciate the energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal that these windows provide.
3. Easy Cleaning: The design of double casement windows allows for easy cleaning, as the sashes can be opened fully, providing access to both the interior and exterior surfaces of the glass.
4. Safety and Security: Double casement windows are equipped with multi-point locking systems, providing added security for your home. Additionally, the windows' design makes it difficult for intruders to pry them open from the outside.
5. Noise Reduction: The tight seal created by double casement windows helps in reducing noise from the outside, making your home a peaceful and quiet sanctuary.
When selecting double casement windows for your home, there are several factors to consider:
1. Material: Double casement windows are available in various materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass. Each material has its pros and cons, so it's essential to choose one that best suits your needs and preferences.
2. Size: The size of your double casement windows will depend on the dimensions of your window openings and your desired aesthetic. Ensure that you measure your window openings accurately before making a decision.
3. Hardware: The hardware you choose for your double casement windows can significantly impact their overall appearance. Select hardware that complements your home's style and adds a touch of elegance to your windows.
4. Glass Options: Double casement windows can be fitted with various glass options, such as double or triple glazing, low-E glass, and decorative glass. Consider your energy efficiency and aesthetic requirements when selecting the glass for your windows.
5. Budget: Lastly, keep your budget in mind when choosing double casement windows. While these windows are considered a high-quality option, they can be more expensive than other window types. However, the long-term benefits and energy savings may outweigh the initial investment.
In conclusion, double casement windows are a stylish and functional choice for your home.

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.
