Why Casement Windows Are Popular
Casement windows open outward with a crank, creating tight energy seals and excellent ventilation. Their simplicity and efficiency make them a strong choice for Chicago homes.
Energy Benefits
Casement windows are among the most efficient window types thanks to their compression seal design. They reduce drafts, which is key for Chicago winters and humid summers.
Design Flexibility
Casement windows pair well with:
- Picture Windows: For large, dramatic views
- Bay & Bow Windows: Adding dimension and light
- Double Casements: Great for symmetry in larger walls
Best Materials for Casement Windows
- Vinyl: Budget-friendly and low-maintenance
- Fiberglass: Resists warping from temperature swings
- Wood: Offers natural beauty for historic Chicago homes
Where Casement Windows Work Best
- Kitchens: Easy to open above countertops
- Bedrooms: Provide cross-ventilation
- Living Rooms: Combine with tall picture windows for a modern touch
Modern Upgrades
Some 2025 casement models include built-in blinds between glass panes, low-maintenance finishes, and even smart locks for added convenience.
