When it comes to home improvement, one of the most important aspects to consider is the type of windows you want to install. Casement windows are a popular choice due to their versatility, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. However, before you make the decision to install casement windows, it's crucial to know the costs involved. In this guide, we'll explore the factors that affect the price of casement windows and provide you with an in-depth analysis of the costs associated with them.
There are several factors that can influence the cost of casement windows, including:
1. Material: Casement windows can be made from various materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass. Each material has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, which can impact the overall cost of the windows.
2. Size: The size of the casement windows you choose will also affect the price. Larger windows typically cost more than smaller ones, as they require more materials and labor to install.
3. Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient casement windows may have a higher upfront cost, but they can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. Features like double or triple glazing, Low-E coatings, and gas-filled panes can increase the price of the windows.
4. Hardware and Accessories: The type of hardware and accessories you choose for your casement windows, such as locks, handles, and screens, can also impact the overall cost.
5. Installation: The cost of installation will depend on the complexity of the project, the number of windows being installed, and the labor rates in your area.
Now that we've covered the factors that can affect the cost of casement windows, let's dive into a more detailed breakdown of the costs associated with each material type and other factors.
Wood Casement Windows: Wood is a classic choice for casement windows due to its natural beauty and insulating properties. However, wood windows can be more expensive than other materials, ranging from $300 to $1,500 per window, depending on the type of wood and the level of customization.
Vinyl Casement Windows: Vinyl is a popular choice for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance, budget-friendly option. Vinyl casement windows typically cost between $200 and $800 per window, depending on the quality of the vinyl and the features included.
Aluminum Casement Windows: Aluminum casement windows are known for their durability and slim profiles. They can cost anywhere from $300 to $1,000 per window, depending on the thickness of the aluminum and the quality of the finish.
Fiberglass Casement Windows: Fiberglass is a strong, energy-efficient material that can mimic the look of wood without the maintenance. Fiberglass casement windows can cost between $400 and $1,200 per window, depending on the quality and features included.
Double Glazing: Adding double glazing to your casement windows can increase the price by $100 to $300 per window, but it can also improve the energy efficiency of your home and reduce outside noise.
Triple Glazing: Triple glazing offers even better insulation and noise reduction than double glazing but can add an additional $200 to $500 per window to the cost.
Low-E Coatings: Low-E coatings can help reflect heat and reduce UV rays, improving the energy efficiency of your casement windows. This feature can add $50 to $150 per window to the cost.
Gas-Filled Panes: Gas-filled panes, typically filled with argon or krypton gas, can improve insulation and reduce heat transfer. This feature can add $75 to $200 per window to the cost.
The cost of installing casement windows will vary depending on the complexity of the project and the labor rates in your area. On average, you can expect to pay between $100 and $300 per window for installation. This means that the total cost for a casement window, including materials and installation, can range from $300 to $1,800 or more per window.
Keep in mind that these costs are just estimates, and the actual price you pay for casement windows may vary depending on your specific needs and preferences. To get an accurate quote, it's best to consult with a professional window installer in your area.
In summary, casement windows are a versatile and attractive option for homeowners looking to improve the appearance and energy efficiency of their homes. By understanding the factors that can affect the cost of casement windows, you can make an informed decision about whether they're the right choice for your home improvement project.
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.
