When it comes to staying cool and comfortable in Singapore's tropical climate, a reliable air conditioner is a must-have. Casement window air conditioners are an excellent choice for many homeowners due to their compact design and efficient cooling capabilities. In this comprehensive guide, we'll help you navigate the world of casement window air conditioners in Singapore, so you can find the perfect unit to beat the heat.
Before diving into the details, it's essential to understand what a casement window air conditioner is and how it differs from other types of air conditioning units. Casement window air conditioners are designed to fit into the narrow openings of casement or sliding windows. These units are compact, easy to install, and often more energy-efficient than their counterparts.
There are several factors to consider when selecting the best casement window air conditioner for your home in Singapore. Some key factors include:
The cooling capacity of an air conditioner is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). To choose the right BTU rating for your space, consider the size of the room you want to cool. As a general rule, you'll need approximately 20 BTUs per square foot. For example, a 200 square foot room would require a 4,000 BTU air conditioner.
Energy efficiency is crucial when selecting an air conditioner, especially in Singapore, where electricity costs can be high. Look for units with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) – the higher the EER, the more energy-efficient the air conditioner. Additionally, consider choosing a unit with an Energy Star certification, as these models meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
A quiet air conditioner can make all the difference in maintaining a peaceful home environment. Look for units with a noise level of 50 decibels or lower to ensure minimal disruption.
Casement window air conditioners are relatively easy to install, but it's still essential to choose a unit that comes with clear installation instructions and all necessary hardware. Additionally, consider the ease of maintenance, such as filter cleaning or replacement, to ensure your air conditioner remains in top condition.
Lastly, consider your budget and the warranty offered by the manufacturer. A good warranty can provide peace of mind and protect your investment.
Now that you know what to look for in a casement window air conditioner, let's explore some of the top brands available in Singapore:

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.
Divided lite windows and doors offer unique architectural solutions for buildings without compromising energy efficiency or aesthetics. 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.

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.
