Solid casement windows have been a popular choice for homeowners for centuries. These windows are known for their durability, timeless design, and energy efficiency. In this blog post, we will explore the history of solid casement windows, their unique features, benefits, and how they can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your home. Get ready to be inspired by the enduring appeal of solid casement windows.
Casement windows have been around since medieval times and were initially made from wood. They were a popular choice in England and France, where they were often found in grand manor houses and castles. Over time, these windows evolved, and materials such as iron and steel were used to create stronger, more durable casement windows.
In the early 20th century, the Arts and Crafts movement led to a resurgence in the popularity of solid casement windows. This movement emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and the use of natural materials, and casement windows were seen as an ideal way to bring these values into the home.
Today, solid casement windows are available in a wide range of materials, including wood, aluminum, and vinyl. They have become a popular choice for homeowners looking for a window style that combines classic elegance with modern functionality.
Solid casement windows are characterized by their hinged design, which allows the window to swing open like a door. They can be installed as single or double casements, with one or two window panels that open outwards.
One of the most distinctive features of solid casement windows is their use of a crank handle or lever to open and close the window. This design allows for easy operation and precise control over the amount of ventilation in your home.
Another unique feature of solid casement windows is their ability to provide unobstructed views. Since there are no horizontal bars or sashes in the way, these windows offer a clear, open view of the outdoors.
There are numerous benefits to choosing solid casement windows for your home, including:
1. Energy Efficiency: Casement windows are known for their excellent energy efficiency. Their tight seal helps to prevent drafts and heat loss, making your home more comfortable and reducing your energy bills.
2. Versatility: Solid casement windows are available in a wide range of materials, styles, and colors, making it easy to find the perfect window to match your home's architectural style and décor.
3. Improved Ventilation: The hinged design of casement windows allows for maximum airflow, providing excellent ventilation and helping to keep your home fresh and comfortable.
4. Enhanced Security: The locking mechanism on solid casement windows is typically located at multiple points along the frame, making it difficult for potential intruders to gain access to your home.
5. Easy Maintenance: Casement windows are easy to clean and maintain, as they can be opened fully to allow access to both the interior and exterior surfaces of the glass.
Solid casement windows can be used in virtually any room in your home, from the living room to the bedroom. Here are some ideas for incorporating these timeless windows into your home:
Living Room: Casement windows can create a stunning focal point in your living room, providing unobstructed views and allowing natural light to flood the space. Consider installing a large double casement window to make the most of your view and create a bright, inviting atmosphere.
Kitchen: Installing casement windows above your kitchen sink or countertop can provide excellent ventilation and make it easier to enjoy the view while preparing meals. Choose a window with a crank handle for easy operation, even when your hands are full.
Bedroom: Solid casement windows are a great choice for bedrooms, as they can provide ample ventilation, natural light, and a clear view of the outdoors. Install a window with a built-in insect screen to keep bugs out while you enjoy the fresh air.
Bathroom: A frosted glass casement window can provide privacy while still allowing natural light and ventilation into your bathroom. This can help to create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere.
In conclusion, solid casement windows are a timeless and elegant choice for any home. With their unique features, numerous benefits, and versatile design, these windows can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your living space. Consider incorporating solid casement windows into your home to experience their enduring appeal for yourself.

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.

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.
