Casement Windows Glasgow

A casement window is a window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges at the side that allows it to open. They can be paired together or single windows that are fitted within one frame and hinged on the outside. Casement windows Scotland from Clydebuilt Home Improvements are available in a range of materials and are normally held open using a casement stay. Casement windows that are hinged at the top are known as awning windows (or top opening casement), and if they are hinged at the bottom they are known as hopper windows (or bottom opening casement).

The cost of double glazing is dependent on so many factors such as style and materials. Many websites do offer lists of prices of their double glazed windows, but these are usually the cost for a basic off-the-shelf window and often without the cost of installation. At Clydebuilt Home Improvements, our products are made-to-measure and customised to your taste and home, which is why you won’t find a price online as there are too many contributing factors.

If maintained, there is no reason why a good quality window can’t last for the lifetime of the property. Not all windows are the same; e.g. timber windows will require a lot of maintenance to maintain the paintwork, but this comes down to personal preference. Lower quality windows, for example, may have no argon gas between the glass panes limiting their effectiveness at reducing warmth in a room. Other windows may use poor quality seals, which will perish over time & result in draughts after around ten years.

Condensation is caused by a difference in temperature between the inside and the outside of the window; the colder side will attract any available moisture in the atmosphere. It can appear on both the exterior & the interior of a window. New uPVC windows really should solve the problem by reducing the exterior and interior temperature difference on the glass, but you may still experience some. The risk can be reduced further by increasing air circulation.

Casement windows are the most energy efficient opening window because the window frame pushes against the outer frame and creates an airtight seal that keeps the cold air out and the warm air in. For this reason, casement windows are better than most other window styles. A sliding window needs to be flexible so that the window can slide open and close, and because of this, it is not as energy efficient as a casement window.

Any new double glazed window will be better than the older style of windows from years ago as there have been so many technological advancements since the last time your property might have had new windows. Casement windows are one of the most efficient and cost-effective windows on the market today and they can fully transform the look and feel of your home.
