The Undisputed Champion of Window Performance
When people pick new windows, they usually want something that looks good, works well, and saves money on bills. Sliding windows save room, folding ones open wide for parties, but nothing beats a proper casement for real all-around performance. They keep the weather out, cut down noise, and stop heat from slipping away.
A casement window swings on side hinges just like a door. Shut it, and the whole frame presses hard against the rubber seals. That tight fit is the main reason casements leak far less air than sliders or most other types. Cold winds stay outside in winter, hot air stays out in summer, and road noise drops a lot.
Why Casement Windows Define Quality
Today’s casements are miles ahead of the old wooden ones. Builders now use strong aluminum frames with clever inside chambers and top-class German hardware. If you live somewhere windy or noisy, or you simply hate high power bills, a good casement with a thermal break is usually the first choice installers recommend.
PAVIDA: Specialists in Custom Aluminum Windows and Doors
PAVIDA makes and sells aluminum glass doors, windows, and sunrooms. We take old, proven ideas and mix them with the latest German hardware and building methods. From the first phone call to the day the job is finished, we aim to give personal service and solid, long-lasting products that don’t hurt the planet.
Understanding the Core Casement Window Types
Outward Opening: Maximizing Space and Breeze
The sash pushes out into the garden or balcony.
- Space Efficiency: Nothing swings into the room, so you can put a sofa or desk right under the sill—perfect for small flats or tight kitchens.
- Superior Ventilation: Crank it fully open, and the whole glass panel catches the breeze like a sail. On a summer evening, you feel the air rush in straight away.
Inward Opening: Convenience for Interior Access and Cleaning
These swing into the room instead.
- Maintenance: You clean both sides of the glass from inside the house. That’s a big help on the third or fourth floor, where ladders are a pain.
- Consideration: Leave enough clear floor space because the open window does take up room indoors.
Inward Opening & Tilting (Tilt-and-Turn): The Versatile Hybrid
This is the type most families pick these days.
- Dual Functionality: Turn the handle one way, and the window opens wide like a door for cleaning or big airflow. Turn it the other way, and the top tilts in a few inches.
- Bad Weather Ventilation: On a rainy day, you can still get fresh air through the tilt gap without water blowing inside.
Engineering the Perfect Seal: Thermal and Acoustic Mastery
Superior Energy Efficiency Through Thermal Breaks
Plain aluminum carries heat fast, so PAVIDA puts a plastic strip—usually thick PA66—right through the middle of the frame. That strip stops the cold outside part from touching the warm inside part. Add several hollow chambers inside the profile, and heat has a very hard time getting through. Fit 5+20A+5 double-layer insulated tempered glass filled with argon gas, and many customers see their heating and cooling bills drop ten to twenty percent in the first year.
Unmatched Weather Tightness and Noise Reduction
Close a casement, and the sash gets pulled hard against the frame by the hinges and locks. PAVIDA adds several rows of EPDM rubber seals and hidden drainage channels with big holes so water runs away fast and never sits in the frame. The same thick glass and seals that keep heat in also knock road noise down by thirty decibels or more—enough to make a bedroom quiet even on a busy street.
Product Spotlight: PAVIDA’s High-Performance Casement Series
The 108 Series: Balancing Security and Comprehensive Insulation
The PAVIDA 108 Series uses thermal-break profiles and is the one we fit most often in living rooms and bedrooms.
- Integrated Security: A tough 304 stainless steel diamond mesh screen slides or folds away when you don’t need it. It keeps flies out and makes burglars think twice.
- Versatile Opening: You can have outward swing, inward swing, top-hung, or full tilt-and-turn on the same series.
The 128 Series Double Thermal Break: Peak Performance for Extreme Needs
When someone wants the very best, we fit the 128 Series. It has two thermal strips instead of one, plus extra chambers and six rows of seals. The difference is clear on the coldest nights or the hottest afternoons—the room temperature barely moves.
French Casements: Narrow Frames for Panoramic Luxury
These French Casements have very slim frames, so you see more glass and less metal. They look stunning, floor-to-ceiling in villas and still carry the full thermal-break treatment, PA66 strips, and insulated glass, so you don’t give up comfort for the view.
Security and Longevity: The Aluminum Advantage
Multi-Point Locking Systems for Enhanced Home Security
Because the sash presses into the frame, casements are already hard to pry open. PAVIDA adds multi-point locks that hook in three or four places up the side. Tempered glass shatters into safe little pieces if something does hit it hard, and the steel mesh on the 108 Series adds another strong layer.
Durability and Low Maintenance: The 6063-T5 Aluminum Promise
Every frame starts life as 6063-T5 aluminum alloy—the grade the national standard calls for in top windows. It never rusts, never rots, and laughs at salt air near the coast. A baked-on powder coat keeps the color looking new for fifteen or twenty years. Wash it down with water and mild soap once or twice a year, and that’s all the care it needs.
Tailoring Your Windows: PAVIDA’s Customization Promise
Pick the exact size down to the millimeter, choose matte black, champagne gold, wood-grain effect, or any RAL color you like. Decide on clear, frosted, or tinted glass, single or triple glazing, and which way the window opens. We draw it, build it, deliver it, and help the fitters put it in.
Conclusion: Choosing Casement Windows for Lasting Value
A good casement window gives you strong seals, fresh air when you want it, quiet rooms, lower bills, and real security. PAVIDA builds them from proven 6063-T5 aluminum with German hardware and proper thermal breaks, so they stay beautiful and keep working year after year. Whether you need the everyday 108 Series for the kids’ rooms, the super-quiet 128 Series for a home office, or slim French casements to frame the view, there’s a casement that fits the job perfectly.
FAQ
Q: Which casement style offers the best ventilation when fully opened?
