While we at A Pane in the Glass have masters various different kinds of windows from any different styles and for many different architectural styles, we don’t always have to reinvent the wheel! Sometimes just a high quality wheel simple casement window is all you need. Casement windows are the earliest form of moving windows, characterized by a wooden, metal, or vinyl frame with hinges or pivots at the upright side of the vertically hung sash, where the entire window pane swings in or out. Most of the times the pane is split into two, allowing the option to open just half of the window or prevent the full pane from swinging out of the wall. Here’s a brief overview of this style of windows by the best casement windows woodbury MN service there is!
casement windows woodbury MN | European roots of the style
In medieval Britain and Germany, casement windows were often found below fixed widows or lights, composed of small leaded panes. French casement windows usually had two leaves that would open inward, requiring careful carpentry to prevent weather from getting in. The french style has influenced the window style in the United States as a way to give access to balcony and porch spaces in American homes, and also led to French windows and French doors. Thankfully you do not need to travel to Europe to own a gorgeous casement window of your own, as the best casement windows woodbury MN service in town has you covered.
There are three big reasons casement windows work so well. Firstly, there aren’t too many panes, and they all shut right against the frame, creating and airtight seal in your home and office space. They are also super straightforward to open and close, and allow great ventilation when open. The only notable disadvantage to them is that there are often limitations on size on this type of frame, as you cannot have a supersized casement window in most cases, and that they don’t accommodate air conditions very easily (the way upward or sideways sliding windows can). Yet, casement windows remain a beautiful classic and are definitely here to stay. Feel free to give us a call to check if they are right for you!
