One of the common questions we’re asked during a window replacement consultation is whether you have to stick with the same style window when replacing them. This client had the same question. They didn’t love their sliding windows and wanted something different. During our consultation we discussed three other options; single hung, double hung, and casement windows. We shared the pros and cons of each and they eventually settled on casement windows.
Why Replacement Casement Windows
This client was interested in getting as energy efficient a window as they could for their budget. Replacement casement windows from Polaris are very energy efficient. Over almost all window brands, casement windows are more energy efficient than single or double hung because of how they seal shut. They’re also easy to open with a hand crank inside the home. Some of their windows were over counters and others were a bit higher than standard windows which would have made pushing up a single or double hung window more difficult.
Benefits of Choosing Polaris Replacement Casement Windows
Polaris offers two window lines for casement windows; ThermalWeld Plus and Polaris Edge. Both of these window lines feature their egress hinge which allows for a wider opening window than many competitors. This ensures safe exiting in an emergency. Of course, one reason we sell and install Polaris windows is their quality construction, including welded frames. Their casement windows have a heavy-duty crank which allows for easy operation. As a bonus, it’s low profile. And for this client, because energy efficiency was important, we love Polaris windows for their Intercept “Warm-Edge” spacer system which reduces heat loss.
Options
Another reason we recommend Polaris replacement windows often is the variety of color options. Depending on the window line you choose from there are up to 19 exterior colors and up to seven interior options including woodgrain. For these replacement casement windows in Carmel, Indiana, the homeowner chose a tradition look with colonial window grids. However, they also offer diamond, prairie, double prairie, and no grid as well. And, if you want mini-blinds between the glass, that too is an option along with various glass options.
