Casement Windows in Arkansas
Maximum Ventilation for NW Arkansas Homes
Casement windows hinge at the side and swing outward using a crank handle at the base of the frame. They offer the best ventilation of any window style because the entire window opening allows airflow simultaneously. RENU Windows installs energy-efficient casement windows throughout NW Arkansas and Southwest Missouri with a lifetime warranty on every installation.
How Casement Windows Work and Why Homeowners in NWA Love Them
NW Arkansas & Southwest MissouriSimple Crank Operation
Casement windows use a crank mechanism at the bottom of the frame to swing the sash fully outward. This makes them extremely easy to operate and ideal for locations where reaching and pushing is inconvenient, such as above kitchen sinks. No lifting, no sliding — just turn the crank.
Maximum Ventilation
Because the entire sash swings open completely, casement windows capture and direct breezes into your home more efficiently than any other window style. They are especially effective in kitchens, bathrooms, and main living areas where airflow matters most.
Tight Compression Seal When Closed
When a casement window is closed and locked, the sash presses firmly against the frame, creating a compression seal. This is tighter than most double-hung windows and provides excellent protection against air infiltration, making casement windows outstanding energy performers for NW Arkansas homes.

Casement Window Questions for Arkansas Homeowners
Q: What is a casement window and how does it open?
A: A casement window is hinged on one side and opens outward like a door, operated by a crank handle at the base of the frame. The entire sash swings open, providing 100% of the opening for ventilation and a tight compression seal when closed.
Q: Are casement windows better for ventilation than double-hung?
A: Yes. A fully open casement window allows 100% of the opening to pass airflow, compared to a double-hung window, where only the top or bottom sash is open at once. Casements are the superior ventilation choice for rooms where airflow is a priority.
Q: Are casement windows energy efficient?
A: Yes. The compression seal created when a casement window is closed and locked is tighter than most other window styles. Combined with Low-E double-pane glass and argon fill, which RENU Windows includes as standard, casement windows are excellent energy performers.
Q: How much do casement window replacements cost in NW Arkansas?
A: Casement window replacement in NW Arkansas typically ranges from $400 to $700 per window, including professional installation. Contact RENU Windows for a free written estimate.
