Carrollton Window Replacement fits casement windows in homes across Carrollton. We measure each opening and make the new window to fit it.
Where we fit casement windows
We fit casements where a window is hard to reach, such as over a kitchen sink or behind a bathtub, so you can turn our crank instead of leaning over.
We also fit them where you want as much air as you can get, since the whole window swings open.
If the window sits next to a patio or a walkway, we usually suggest double-hung windows or sliding windows instead, because a casement swings out into the path. We can also pair a large picture window with a casement on each side. ENERGY STAR says picture windows do not open at all, so the casements give you the air.
We fit casements with vinyl frames, and also in fiberglass and wood.
Casement, awning and hopper windows
ENERGY STAR groups three window types that push out from the wall, often opening with a crank. It says casements open from the side, awning windows from the bottom and hopper windows from the top. We fit all three, and we can mix them in one wall.
Glass for Carrollton's sun
Your quote from us lists two numbers for every window.
The U-factor measures how well a window holds heat in or out. ENERGY STAR says the lower the number, the more the window will insulate.
The solar heat gain coefficient, or SHGC, measures how much of the sun's heat the window blocks. The lower the number, the more heat it blocks. For homes in the South, ENERGY STAR says to look for an SHGC of 0.23 or less. It also says a low SHGC is important on windows that face south, east and west in warmer climates.
What casement windows cost
We use ENERGY STAR's double-hung price as a rough guide for casements. It says a simple, energy-efficient double-hung window that measures 3 feet by 5 feet starts at about $400 with a good installation included, and about $1,600 or more with premium options.
ENERGY STAR lists those premium options as specialty wood finishes, historically accurate designs, laminated glass for impact resistance and extra-strength frames.
We price casements for your house once we've measured, and you get that quote in writing.
What to get in writing
Ask for these in writing, whoever you hire:
- The exact U-factor and SHGC of each window, written into the contract.
- A line saying the windows are ENERGY STAR certified for where you live.
- The product warranty and the installation warranty. ENERGY STAR says a decent product warranty should be at least 10 years, and preferably 20 years or lifetime. It says installation warranties are typically less than 5 years.
On the day we fit them
Before we leave, open and close every new window with us. ENERGY STAR says to check that no window is twisted or set in unevenly, and that casements should crank open easily.
Questions about casement windows in Carrollton
What is a casement window?
The casements we fit swing out on a hinge at the side, like a door, and we fit a crank handle on the inside so you never have to push the glass.
Do casement windows have screens?
We fit the screen on the inside of every casement, because the glass swings out, so you can open and close our casements without taking the screen off.
Can I put a casement where I have a double-hung window now?
We can often do that. We look at the opening, what is outside it and how you use the room, and tell you if a casement will work there.
Are casement windows good for airflow?
ENERGY STAR says windows that open let you enjoy fresh air on a nice day or a cool evening after a hot day, which can reduce energy costs.
Will new casement windows lower my energy bill?
ENERGY STAR says upgrading to ENERGY STAR certified windows lowers household energy bills by an average of 12%.
Is it cheaper to replace several windows at once?
ENERGY STAR says that to get the best price per window, it helps to plan to buy at least 10 windows to reduce installation costs. If you only need one, we'll still fit it.
Do I need a permit to replace casement windows in Carrollton?
Not if the new windows are the same size as the old ones. The City of Carrollton says a permit is needed if the size of the opening changes. We tell you before we start if your job changes any opening.
