Casement windows are a popular choice in many homes due to their unique design and functionality. However, finding the perfect portable air conditioning unit for these windows can be a challenge. This comprehensive guide will help you navigate the world of portable AC units, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your casement windows.
Casement windows open outward and are hinged on one side, which makes them different from traditional sliding windows. Due to this design, not all portable AC units are suitable for casement windows. Choosing the right portable AC unit for your casement windows is crucial to ensure efficient cooling and prevent damage to your windows or AC unit.
The size of your room and the cooling capacity of the portable AC unit are essential factors to consider when making your decision. Measure your room's dimensions to determine the square footage and choose an AC unit with a suitable cooling capacity (measured in BTUs) to effectively cool the space.
While most portable AC units come with a window installation kit, it's essential to ensure that the kit is compatible with casement windows. You may need to purchase a separate casement window installation kit or create a custom solution for your window.
Portable AC units come in single-hose and dual-hose configurations. Single-hose units expel warm air through one hose, while dual-hose units have one hose for intake and another for exhaust. Dual-hose units are generally more energy-efficient and suitable for larger rooms.
Portable AC units can be noisy, so consider the noise level of the unit, especially if you plan to use it in a bedroom or home office. Look for units with a noise level of 50 decibels or lower for quiet operation.
Choose a portable AC unit with a high energy efficiency ratio (EER) to save on energy costs. Look for units with an EER of 10 or higher.
The Honeywell HL Series offers powerful cooling and dehumidification capabilities, making it an excellent choice for casement windows. With a 12,000 BTU cooling capacity, it can cool rooms up to 450 square feet. The unit comes with a window installation kit, but you may need to purchase a separate casement window kit or create a custom solution.
This 14,000 BTU dual-hose portable AC unit is perfect for larger rooms up to 500 square feet. The Whynter ARC-14S is energy-efficient, with an EER of 11.2, and features a 24-hour programmable timer and remote control. The included window installation kit may need to be modified for casement windows.
The LG LP0817WSR is a compact and stylish 8,000 BTU portable AC unit suitable for rooms up to 200 square feet. With a noise level of 53 decibels, it's relatively quiet for a portable unit. The included window installation kit may require a separate casement window kit or custom solution.
This 12,000 BTU portable AC unit from Frigidaire is designed for rooms up to 550 square feet and features a unique 360-degree airflow design for even cooling. The unit has a 24-hour programmable timer, remote control, and a noise level of 53 decibels. A separate casement window kit or custom solution may be required for installation.
The DeLonghi Pinguino PACN110EC is a 11,000 BTU portable AC unit suitable for rooms up to 400 square feet. With a noise level of 50 decibels, it's one of the quieter options on the market. The included window installation kit may need to be adapted for casement windows.
Finding the perfect portable AC unit for your casement windows doesn't have to be a daunting task. By considering factors such as size, cooling capacity, installation requirements, hose configuration, noise level, and energy efficiency, you can make an informed decision and enjoy a cool and comfortable living space. Don't forget to check if the included window installation kit is compatible with casement windows or if you'll need to purchase a separate kit or create a custom solution. Happy cooling!
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.
Our team of experts will work with you to develop a bespoke plan that fits your needs. We take a holistic approach to the planning process, combining our technical expertise with our knowledge of customer requirements and project constraints.
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.

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.
