If you're looking to stay cool this summer, a casement window air conditioner may be the perfect solution for your home. Casement window AC units are specifically designed for narrow, vertical windows that open outward, and they offer a number of benefits over traditional window units. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the ins and outs of casement window air conditioners, including their features, installation tips, and how to choose the perfect unit for your needs. So, let's dive in and discover how a casement window AC can transform your living space into a comfortable oasis.
A casement window air conditioner is a compact, vertical air conditioning unit designed to fit into casement windows or sliding windows. These windows are typically taller and narrower than standard double-hung windows, which makes them ideal for smaller spaces or rooms with limited wall space. Casement window AC units are designed to be mounted vertically, with the air intake and exhaust vents on the sides of the unit, allowing for efficient cooling without obstructing the view from your window.
There are several advantages to using a casement window air conditioner over a traditional window unit:
1. Space-saving design:Casement window AC units are compact and designed to fit into narrow windows, making them ideal for small rooms or apartments with limited space.
2. Energy efficiency:These units are typically more energy-efficient than standard window units, as they are designed to seal tightly against the window frame, preventing air leaks and drafts.
3. Ease of installation:Casement window air conditioners are relatively easy to install, as they do not require any additional support brackets or modifications to the window frame.
4. Aesthetics:With their sleek, modern design, casement window AC units can blend seamlessly into your home's decor, without obstructing the view from your window.
When selecting a casement window air conditioner, there are several factors to consider:
1. Size:Measure the height and width of your window opening to ensure the unit will fit properly. Be sure to also consider the unit's depth, as some casement window AC units may protrude further into the room than others.
2. Cooling capacity:Choose a unit with the appropriate cooling capacity for your space, measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). As a general rule, you will need approximately 20 BTUs per square foot of living space. For example, a 10' x 12' room (120 square feet) would require a 2,400 BTU air conditioner.
3. Energy efficiency:Look for a unit with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) rating, which indicates how efficiently the unit uses electricity. The higher the EER rating, the less energy the unit will consume, resulting in lower utility bills.
4. Noise level:Consider the unit's noise level, measured in decibels (dB). A quieter unit may be preferable for bedrooms or other spaces where noise can be disruptive.
5. Additional features:Some casement window AC units come with additional features, such as programmable timers, remote controls, or air filtration systems. Consider which of these features may be important to you when selecting a unit.
Installing a casement window air conditioner is a relatively simple process, but it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure proper installation and optimal performance. Here are some general tips for installing a casement window AC unit:
1. Prepare the window:Begin by cleaning the window and window frame, removing any dirt, debris, or old weatherstripping.
2. Install the mounting hardware:Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install any necessary mounting hardware, such as support brackets or window sliders.
3. Position the unit:Carefully lift the air conditioner into the window opening, ensuring it is properly aligned with the mounting hardware and centered within the window frame.
4. Secure the unit:Once the air conditioner is in place, follow the manufacturer's instructions to secure it to the mounting hardware and window frame.
5. Seal the window:Use foam insulation or weatherstripping to seal any gaps between the air conditioner and the window frame, preventing air leaks and drafts.
6. Connect the power:Plug the air conditioner into a grounded electrical outlet, and follow the manufacturer's instructions to set up any additional features, such as a remote control or programmable timer.
By carefully selecting, installing, and maintaining your casement window air conditioner, you can enjoy a more comfortable and energy-efficient home all summer long. So, don't let the heat get you down – invest in a casement window AC unit today and transform your living space into the cool, refreshing oasis you deserve.
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.
