Casement windows are a popular choice for homeowners due to their elegant design, ease of operation, and excellent ventilation capabilities. However, they can also pose a security risk if not properly secured. In this blog post, we will explore various ways to protect your casement windows using SimpliSafe's innovative security solutions, ensuring that your home remains safe and secure at all times.
Before diving into the security aspect, it's essential to understand what casement windows are and how they function. Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, either to the left or the right. They are typically operated using a crank, lever, or handle, allowing for easy opening and closing.
Due to their design, casement windows provide excellent ventilation, as they can catch and direct breezes into the home. However, their outward-opening nature also makes them more vulnerable to break-ins, as intruders can potentially pry them open or break the glass to gain entry.
SimpliSafe is a leading provider of home security systems, offering a wide range of products and services to protect your home from potential threats. With SimpliSafe, you can secure your casement windows in various ways, ensuring that your home remains safe and secure.
One of the most effective ways to protect your casement windows is by installing glass break sensors. SimpliSafe's glass break sensors are designed to detect the sound of breaking glass, triggering an alarm if the glass is broken in an attempt to gain entry.
These sensors are easy to install and can be placed near your casement windows to provide comprehensive coverage. With a range of up to 20 feet, a single glass break sensor can cover multiple windows, making it a cost-effective solution for securing your home.
In addition to glass break sensors, SimpliSafe also offers entry sensors that can be used to secure your casement windows. These sensors consist of two parts: one attached to the window frame and the other to the window itself. When the window is opened, the two parts separate, triggering an alarm.
SimpliSafe's entry sensors are designed to work with all types of windows, including casement windows. The sensors are easy to install, with no tools required, and can be easily removed and repositioned if needed.
Another effective way to protect your casement windows is by installing security cameras. SimpliSafe offers a range of indoor and outdoor cameras that can be strategically placed to monitor your windows and the surrounding areas.
The SimpliSafe SimpliCam is an indoor camera that features motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio, allowing you to monitor your home in real-time and communicate with anyone on your property. The SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro is an outdoor camera that can be installed near your casement windows to provide an additional layer of security.
Both cameras are compatible with the SimpliSafe security system and can be accessed and controlled through the SimpliSafe app.
To further enhance your casement windows' security, SimpliSafe offers professional monitoring services and smart home integration. With professional monitoring, trained security experts monitor your home 24/7, ensuring that any potential threats are quickly detected and addressed.
SimpliSafe also integrates with popular smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to control your security system using voice commands. This makes it easy to arm and disarm your system, check the status of your sensors, and view live camera feeds from anywhere in the world.
Casement windows are an attractive and functional option for homeowners, but they can also pose a security risk if not properly secured. With SimpliSafe's comprehensive security solutions, you can protect your casement windows and ensure that your home remains safe and secure at all times.
From glass break sensors and entry sensors to security cameras and professional monitoring, SimpliSafe offers a range of products and services designed to meet your unique security needs. By investing in a SimpliSafe security system, you can enjoy the beauty and functionality of casement windows without compromising your home's safety.
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.

Doorwin provides multiple muntin and glass options to customize your divided lite windows and doors. Further customization is available with a variety of colors and materials, creating an infinite number of design combinations to best suit your style.
In this project, we use SDLS (simulated divided lites with spacer bars), these bars permanently adhere to both sides of the glass, and spacer bars are installed between the glass, this is the most energy-efficient way to create the look of classical décor grilles. The windows in the bathroom bedroom and study have an Arch Transom Design, making these rooms, which are often used by the owner, have some traditional aesthetics.

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.
We have several international patents to reduce clients’ labor costs, such as our unique flanges and assembly type tubular design, which is different from the other products on the market. What sets us apart among Chinese counterpart is that all our products are equipped with nail fin structures for quick and easy installation. Labor costs during installation may exceed of the window and door price, therefore, our exclusive patent allows users to not only get a significant increase in installation efficiency, but also greatly reduce the labor cost of window and door installation. A cost that may bring you unexpected savings that far exceed the price difference you may care about now.
With our own expertise, we provided the no-cost design development and contract documentation with CAD & BIM drawings, including elevation, details about the project, and installation help.
Before production, we will provide accurate sample drawings, which will clearly show the cross-sectional pattern, size, opening method and direction, pattern of the warm spacer, and the installation nodes. We will not go into production until you have signed off on the drawing to ensure that you receive a final product that meets the exact requirements of your project.
Doorwin's professional packing system guarantees all products are delivered safely and without any damage. We apply a four-point packing system. Firstly, adhesive plastic film is applied on interior wood frames and exterior aluminum frames to avoid scratches on the surface. Then, a paper board is applied after we apply air bubble film surrounding the whole windows/ doors to avoid any destruction or clash. Lastly, we place them into a durable non-fumigation plywood crate to avoid any possible damage during transportation.
