FAQ

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

What are casement windows?

Casement windows are attached to the frame by one or more hinges on the side. They open left and right, which allows for full flexibility and optimized ventilation. This type of window is extremely popular amongst our clients, as it is very easy to operate and it comes in a variety of styles. Casement windows are normally referred to as crank windows because they open using a cranking mechanism.

Where to install casement windows?

They can be installed anywhere in the home. Due to their strong insulating properties, casement windows are also good in drafty, hard-to-reach areas in a high position. They can also be installed in bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, basements, and so on.

Are casement windows more energy efficient?

Casement windows are considered to be the most energy efficient type of window because of their amazing insulating properties, multi-point locking system and low-E coated glass. Their strong seal allows for maximum airtightness with the sash pressed tightly against the frame. To increase their energy efficiency even more, double pane and triple pane casement windows are filled with Argon gas, which is less conductive than normal air and thus reduces cold or hot air escaping through the windows.

How big can casement windows be?

Casement windows come in various shapes and sizes, and they are highly adjustable to suit the dimensions you require. Single unit widths range from 1′-5″ to 3′-0″ and are configured in up to 5-wide styles installed together for maximum airflow. The best news of all is there is no unique size for casement windows, and NorthShield can provide you with custom-fit casement windows designed to fit your space perfectly. Custom and standard sizes can be further paired with a center sash with operable flanking windows, additional equal-sized sashes, paired with an awning casement window, with a transom window on top, and so on.

How wide do casement windows open?

One of the most common casement window installations sets the window vertically so that it opens like a door, which allows for maximum flexibility and control of airflow. We can either install the windows individually or together. When casement windows are connected side by side, the ones at the end are usually those that can be opened, while the centre remains fixed. When installed sideways (awning windows), casement windows open to a maximum of 45 degrees. Plus, casement windows that are available at NorthShield have special easy cleaning features with hardware that allows you to open and wash both sides of the window from the inside of your home.

What’s the difference between casement and fixed casement windows?

A fixed casement window has the same type of functionality as a casement window. The only difference is that it cannot be opened and it is installed in combination with regular casement windows to allow for a better view.

What to do before a casement window installation?

Whether you are installing a new casement window or replacing an old one, our team is sure to impress you with their skill and professional approach. One of our friendly reps will visit your home where they will review all the windows concerned and provide you with a free estimate. Each opening will be measured in order to determine the correct size that the new casement window should be. Custom made windows ensure the perfect fit that your home deserves (an experienced installer will visit your home to measure the openings again and make sure that each window is just the right size). Once all the measurements have been taken, it’s time for the manufacturing process.

What to do when the installation day arrives?

Replacing an old window will involve the careful removal of the existing window in order to make way for the new one. This can be a messy process, but we understand how important it is to keep your home neat and tidy. This is why our installation team takes the time to clean the areas we work on. We also dispose of your old windows so you don’t have to! Installing the new windows involves fitting the frame and then the windows. Perfection is essential and we take the time to make sure that the window is straight and level. If not, it can affect the way the window functions. We use spray foam to secure the window frame in place. This also acts as the perfect insulation between the frame and the wall. The foam expands to fill up any gaps and, once dry, the excess can be trimmed off with ease.
