Did you know the casement is one of the most efficient window types? And while it works beautifully in a modern home, it’s actually quite versatile in terms of style — and can even simulate the look of a double-hung window. We’ll explain everything you need to know if you’re considering adding this window to your home. 

Casement windows can be combined with other windows to create a major statement that’s especially impactful in a gathering space like a living room or dining room. The benefits of a window combination unit include the opportunity to bring in lots of light, frame an expansive view, and create a feature that adds character to your home’s exterior. 

Because window combinations often feature picture windows, which don’t open, casement windows bring an important element — fresh air! Here are a couple of ideas about using casements in window combinations:

• In a modern home, a window combination might go from floor to ceiling, feature narrow framing around the glass and no grilles (details described above).
• In a more traditional home, it’s common to have a large picture window with casements on either side. Grilles, white painted wood or a wood stain, and more prominent hardware would help create a classic look.
• A bay window is another absolutely classic window combination that can include casements as the operable side windows. Use the selection tips above to give a bay window a more traditional look, or create a transitional look (blend of classic and contemporary styles) by mixing and matching your selections. For example, select black as your color but then add colonial grilles.
