Virginia Beach is known for its beautiful warm afternoons and cool late nights during the spring. However, those weather changes can lead to a spike in your energy bills—especially if your home isn’t properly prepared.

So, what does this have to do with your windows?

More than you might think!

Let Mr. Rogers guide you through one of our featured products:

the Casement Window, and discover how this sleek design can help you save money this season as you get ready to soak in the sunshine!

What is a Casement Window?

A casement window is a window that is hinged on the side and swings outward, much like a door. This style is often called a “crank” window because it’s opened using a simple crank mechanism. The window’s frame is attached to hinges on the side, which makes it incredibly easy to open and close, even with just one hand.

Casement windows are incredibly versatile, available in a wide variety of styles and sizes. They are perfect for virtually any room in your home.

Larger casement windows pair beautifully with picture windows to maximize your outdoor views, while smaller ones fit perfectly in tighter spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.

When opened, casement windows provide excellent ventilation, allowing fresh air to flow through your home during those warm spring and summer days.

When closed, they seal tightly, offering improved noise reduction and keeping pesky insects outside where they belong.

Can Casement Windows Reduce Energy Costs?

One of the standout features of casement windows is their ability to seal tightly, keeping outside temperatures from entering your home. This ensures that your air conditioning (or heating) system doesn’t have to work overtime, which means lower energy bills for you!

The secure closure of these windows, combined with weather stripping along the frame, creates a perfect barrier against outside air.

By upgrading to energy-efficient windows, you’re taking the first step in reducing your home’s energy consumption. The glass you choose can also make a big difference.

For instance, High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun™ Glass provides superior energy-saving properties and blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays.

If your home gets plenty of direct sunlight throughout the day, SmartSun™ Glass will help keep your space cooler, all while protecting your furniture and flooring from fading.

Are Casement Windows Easy to Maintain?

Absolutely! Thanks to their crank design, casement windows have fewer hard-to-reach areas, making them easier to clean and maintain than traditional framed windows.

The right materials can also make a world of difference in reducing the time and effort you spend on upkeep.

Among popular options like wood, vinyl, and composite, one material stands out: Fibrex® composite material.

This composite is not only twice as strong as vinyl, but it also lasts twice as long, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Fibrex® material is exclusively available through Renewal by Andersen, offering the highest quality for your replacement windows.
