As a homeowner, you're always looking for ways to improve your home's energy efficiency and overall comfort. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by upgrading your windows to double pane casement windows. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the benefits of double pane casement windows, discuss their features, and provide helpful tips on choosing the right windows for your home.
Double pane casement windows consist of two glass panels separated by a spacer and sealed together within a single frame. These windows are designed to open outward, either to the left or right, using a crank handle or lever. The double pane design helps to reduce heat transfer, making your home more energy-efficient and comfortable throughout the year.
There are several benefits to upgrading your home with double pane casement windows, including:
Double pane casement windows are more energy-efficient than single-pane windows because they have an insulating layer of gas or air between the two panes of glass. This layer helps to reduce heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. As a result, you'll save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
By reducing heat transfer, double pane casement windows help to maintain a more consistent temperature within your home. This means fewer drafts and cold spots, making your living spaces more comfortable for you and your family.
The double pane design of these windows also helps to reduce noise pollution from outside your home. The insulating layer of gas or air between the panes helps to dampen sound vibrations, making your home a quieter and more peaceful place to live.
Upgrading to double pane casement windows can increase your home's value, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Energy-efficient windows are a desirable feature for many homebuyers, and they may be willing to pay a premium for a home with these upgrades.
When selecting double pane casement windows for your home, there are several features to consider:
The frame material you choose for your windows will affect their durability, maintenance requirements, and overall appearance. Common frame materials include:
Vinyl: Vinyl is a low-maintenance, affordable option that provides good insulation and is resistant to moisture and decay. However, it may not be as durable as other materials and can become discolored over time.
Wood: Wood offers a classic, timeless look and excellent insulation, but it requires regular maintenance to prevent rot and decay. It can also be more expensive than other options.
Aluminum: Aluminum is a durable, low-maintenance material that resists rust and corrosion. However, it's not as energy-efficient as other materials and may not be suitable for colder climates.
Fiberglass: Fiberglass is a strong, low-maintenance material that offers excellent insulation and is resistant to decay. It can be more expensive than other options, but it's a long-lasting choice that can withstand harsh weather conditions.
When it comes to the glass in your double pane casement windows, you'll want to consider:
Low-E Coating: Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings are thin, transparent layers applied to the glass that help to reflect heat, improving your windows' energy efficiency.
Gas Fills: The space between the panes of glass can be filled with an inert gas, such as argon or krypton, to further improve insulation and energy efficiency.
Tinted or Reflective Glass: Tinted or reflective glass can help to reduce glare and heat gain in your home, making it more comfortable during the warmer months.
You'll also want to consider the hardware and accessories for your double pane casement windows, such as:
Crank Handles or Levers: Choose a style and finish that complements your home's decor and is easy to operate.
Locking Mechanisms: Look for windows with secure locking mechanisms to help improve your home's security.
Window Screens: Consider adding window screens to keep insects out while allowing fresh air to circulate through your home.
Upgrading your home with double pane casement windows can significantly improve its energy efficiency, comfort, and overall value. By considering the features and options outlined in this guide, you'll be well on your way to selecting the perfect windows for your home. Don't hesitate to consult with a professional window installer for personalized advice and recommendations based on your specific needs and preferences.
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.
