Energy efficiency for any style of window may vary by manufacturer. Champion casement windows are made with insulated vinyl frames and double-glazed, argon-filled glass, which increases energy efficiency in the home by reducing heat transfer. Furthermore, casement windows offer superior airtight seals when closed. This prevents drafts from entering your home and keeps cold air out in winter months.

Casement windows are available with screens for additional protection against flying insects and unwanted debris. A casement window screen is mounted on the inside of the frame, as the casement window swings outward when opened.

To clean casement windows, first remove the window screen if you have one. Fully open your casement window using the crank. Once open, reach through the opening between the window and frame to clean the outside with your cleaning solution and clean cloth. Next, use the crank to close your casement window and repeat the same steps on the inside of the window. Replace your screen. This method of cleaning is simple and effective, leaving your casement windows looking clean and clear. Champion also offers a step-by-step video and downloadable instructions for cleaning your casement windows.

A casement window is a type of window that is attached to a frame by hinges on one side and opens outward. The hinge is a crucial component of the casement window as it allows for the window to be attached to the frame and swing outward, providing easy access for ventilation and cleaning. The frame can be divided into smaller sections called muntins, which can be made of the same or different materials as the frame. The window is operated with a crank handle that controls a mechanism that opens and closes the window. Casement windows are energy efficient, offer unobstructed views, and are easy to clean due to their ability to swing outward. They are a popular choice for traditional and modern homes.

Casement windows generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and lubrication of the hinges and crank mechanism can help ensure smooth operation. Checking for any signs of damage or need for repair, such as cracks or leaks, and addressing them promptly can also prevent more significant issues. Additionally, inspecting the weatherstripping and replacing it if necessary can help maintain energy efficiency. Overall, a little bit of upkeep can go a long way in prolonging the lifespan and functionality of casement windows.
