Casement Windows: A Secure Option for Replacement Windows

June 9, 2017

If you want to replace old windows with something more efficient, you are holding energy savings in high regards. While you want to be as energy efficient as possible, you also need to consider other factors, like home security. Old windows are weak points in your home. They are invitations to certain intruders who use them to slip into your home with ease. If you choose casement windows for your replacement windows on your home in Westlake Village, CA, you are making your home safer than ever.

Why are Casement Windows so Secure?

When you look into replacement windows, you may have a number of reasons to go with casement windows. If you want security, that is a good reason to choose them as well. Casement windows are some of the best window operating styles for secure homes. They pivot out and can only operate by turning a crank inside the home. When they are closed, the lock flush against the frame. There is no way for an intruder to operate them from outside the home. The hook-shaped arm that comes standard on these windows is embedded into the frame so it is tamperproof as well. Sliding and double-hung windows have additional hardware, but casement windows don’t need them in order to remain secure.

Maximizing Replacement Windows Security

If you get casement windows when you work on your replacement windows project, you want to make sure they will work well for security. As you’ve already read, casement windows are great for security, but only if you use them properly. These tips will help you secure your replacement windows against unauthorized entries.

Close the windows properly

Casement windows need to close flush against the frame. IF they are not installed properly or the frame has swollen, the windows may not close quite right. If you have wood replacement windows and you paint them over the years, the paint can build up and not allow them to close properly either. If the sash protrudes farther than the frame, an intruder could pry at the window with a crowbar. Check the outside of your home from time to time to make sure the windows are flush with the frame when they are closed.

Choose impact glass

If someone really wants into your home and notices your casement windows, they may realize that the only way through the windows is to break the glass. Impact glass is usually installed to combat hurricanes and other storms, but they work well to deter burglars as well. They can sustain a number of items like bricks, hammer blows and anything else an intruder may throw at them.
