If you have casement windows in your home, you know that finding the right air conditioning unit can be a challenge. Traditional window air conditioners are not designed to fit casement windows, which open vertically rather than horizontally. However, fear not! There are options available for you to keep your home cool and comfortable during the hot summer months. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the best window AC units for casement windows, how to install them, and what to consider when making your purchase.
Casement windows are hinged at the side and swing open vertically, providing excellent ventilation and unobstructed views. They are often found in older homes or in modern designs that prioritize natural light and airflow. However, their unique design can make it difficult to find an air conditioning unit that fits properly and securely.
When searching for a window AC for your casement window, you'll need to consider the following:
1. Dimensions: Measure the height and width of your window opening to ensure you choose an AC unit that will fit properly. Keep in mind that some units may require additional support or brackets for secure installation.
2. Cooling capacity: Determine the size of the room you need to cool and select an air conditioner with the appropriate BTUs (British Thermal Units) to effectively cool the space. A general rule of thumb is to multiply the square footage of your room by 20 to find the required BTUs.
3. Energy efficiency: Look for an AC unit with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) to save on energy costs and reduce your environmental impact.
4. Installation: Some casement window air conditioners may require professional installation, while others can be installed by a handy homeowner. Be sure to review the installation requirements before making your purchase.

1. Measure your window: Before purchasing a window AC unit, measure the height and width of your casement window opening to ensure a proper fit.
2. Choose the right AC unit: Select a casement window air conditioner with the appropriate BTUs and dimensions for your space.
3. Gather necessary tools and materials: You'll need a screwdriver, drill, measuring tape, level, and any brackets or supports included with your AC unit.
4. Install support brackets: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install any necessary support brackets or braces to secure the AC unit in your window.
5. Position the AC unit: Carefully lift the air conditioner into the window opening, making sure it's level and securely positioned on the support brackets.
6. Secure the AC unit: Attach the AC unit to the support brackets using the provided screws or bolts, and ensure it's tightly sealed against the window frame to prevent drafts.
7. Attach the window lock: Install the window lock to prevent the casement window from opening while the air conditioner is in use.
8. Plug in and enjoy: Plug your new casement window air conditioner into a grounded outlet and enjoy a cool, comfortable living space.
When selecting a window air conditioner for your casement window, keep these factors in mind:
Dimensions: Ensure the unit will fit properly in your window opening.
Cooling capacity: Choose a unit with the appropriate BTUs for the size of your room.
Energy efficiency: Look for a high EER rating to save on energy costs.
Installation: Consider whether you'll need professional installation or can handle the process yourself.
Additional features: Look for features like programmable timers, remote controls, and sleep modes for added convenience and comfort.
By taking the time to research and select the right window AC unit for your casement window, you can enjoy a comfortable, cool living space all summer long.
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.

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.

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.
