When it comes to beating the summer heat, a window air conditioning unit is often the go-to solution for many homeowners. However, not all windows are created equal, and casement windows require a bit of extra consideration when it comes to choosing the right air conditioning unit. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the ins and outs of window air conditioning units for casement windows, including what makes them unique, how to choose the right one for your needs, and some top recommendations for units on the market today.
Casement windows are a type of window that open outward, usually by means of a crank or lever. They are hinged on one side and can swing out to either the left or right, depending on the design. This style of window is popular for its ability to provide excellent ventilation and unobstructed views. However, due to their unique design, they can be a bit more challenging to fit with a traditional window air conditioning unit.
While there are other cooling options available, such as portable air conditioners or mini-split systems, window air conditioning units offer several advantages, especially for casement windows:
1. Cost-effective: Window air conditioning units are generally more affordable than other cooling options, both in terms of initial cost and ongoing energy expenses.
2. Easy installation: Installing a window air conditioning unit in a casement window is relatively simple, often requiring only basic tools and minimal modifications to the window frame.
3. Space-saving: Since they are installed directly in the window, window air conditioning units for casement windows don't take up any valuable floor space within your home.
4. Energy-efficient: Many window air conditioning units on the market today are designed with energy efficiency in mind, helping to keep your energy bills low while still providing effective cooling.
When shopping for a window air conditioning unit for your casement windows, there are several factors to keep in mind:
1. Size: Measure your casement window's dimensions to ensure the unit you choose will fit properly. Additionally, consider the cooling capacity (measured in BTUs) of the unit, as this will determine how effectively it can cool your space. A general rule of thumb is to choose a unit with 20 BTUs per square foot of living space.
2. Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): The EER is a measure of how efficiently a unit uses energy to cool your home. Look for units with a higher EER rating, as they will be more energy-efficient and cost-effective in the long run.
3. Noise level: Some window air conditioning units can be quite noisy when operating. Check the unit's decibel (dB) rating to ensure it won't be too disruptive to your daily activities.
4. Additional features: Many window air conditioning units come with features such as programmable thermostats, remote controls, and air filters. Consider which features are most important to you when making your decision.

1. Check local regulations: Some cities or homeowner's associations may have specific rules or guidelines regarding the installation of window air conditioning units. Be sure to check for any restrictions before proceeding.
2. Gather necessary tools and materials: You'll likely need a screwdriver, drill, measuring tape, and potentially a support bracket to install your window air conditioning unit. Be sure to have these on hand before beginning the installation process.
3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions: Each window air conditioning unit may have slightly different installation requirements. Be sure to carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure a proper and safe installation.
4. Seal any gaps: Once your window air conditioning unit is installed, be sure to seal any gaps around the unit with weatherstripping or foam insulation. This will help to prevent drafts and improve the overall efficiency of your unit.
By keeping these factors and recommendations in mind, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect window air conditioning unit for your casement windows. With the right unit in place, you'll be able to enjoy a cool and comfortable home all summer long.

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.

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.
