Casement Fixed Windows
Casement fixed windows are a type of window that doesn’t open or close; it remains fixed in place. While these windows cannot open or close, they still offer benefits in various scenarios. Since they don’t have any moving parts, they can offer larger and unobstructed glass panes, allowing for better views. Casement fixed windows are generally more airtight than operable windows because they don’t have any gaps or seams where air can leak through. This can contribute to better energy efficiency and insulation, as they help in preventing drafts and heat loss. Because casement fixed windows lack moving parts like hinges and handles, there’s less wear and tear over time. This can reduce the need for maintenance and repairs compared to operable windows.
