Casement windows, which operate on hinges like doors, are today’s most popular style of new and replacement window. They are excellent energy-efficient options for Northern Utah homes, reducing cooling bills in the summer and leveraging solar heat gain in the winter.
However, the price of casement window installation can vary by size and frame type. To ensure you get the best deal, ask contractors for price quotes catered to your home’s specific requirements.
Vinyl
Vinyl is the most popular material for windows and doors because it’s durable, energy-efficient and flexible. It is a good choice for Utah’s hot summers and cold winters. The tight construction of vinyl reduces the speed at which heat is transferred to the interior.
Bay and bow vinyl windows protrude out from the exterior, adding extra space inside and natural light to your home. They are available in a variety of styles to suit your style and fit in any home design.
Renewal by Andersen’s Fibrex material blends wood’s strength with vinyl’s durability. It resists cracks from freeze/thaw cycles and has narrow frames that maximize the view.
Awning
Fresh air is as easy as a crank of the handle with casement and awning windows. These windows hinge open from 90-degrees and allow air to flow through your home no matter the weather.
Because they don’t have a meeting rail or sash, they also provide unobstructed views and pair well with picture windows above. They’re a good choice for spaces like above sinks and in bathrooms, where ventilation is needed.
Energy efficiency is an important consideration in Eagle Mountain, where temperatures can fluctuate. Look for Low-E glass and Energy Star certification to reduce your energy bills while staying comfortable in your home.
Picture
With hinges along one side, casement windows open and close just like doors. The design maximizes air flow and provides a clear view of your surroundings. They’re great for hard-to-reach spots and pair beautifully with picture windows.
These enchanting window remodels offer houses a spectacular augmentation externally while lowering energy bills because they grant considerable sunshine and trustworthy insulation. However, since they can’t be opened they should be set up alongside practical window alternatives to allow air flow.

Low-E
Low-E, or low emissivity, glass reduces heat transfer through your windows and doors, dramatically cutting your energy bills. It also shields your interior from harmful UV rays that can fade fabrics and damage furniture.
With a wide range of styles, colors and options available, there’s a casement window to suit every home. The window’s swinging design promotes air flow throughout the home and eliminates drafts. It’s also easier to clean than double hung windows. For new construction, you can choose to install the windows with the full-frame method or retrofit them to existing frames.
Argon
Argon is a colorless and odorless gas that is used between the panes of double- or triple-pane windows to dramatically improve their insulation and energy efficiency. Unlike conventional air filling, this material doesn’t promote moisture formation that can lead to condensation and window frame damage over time.
Since it’s denser than air, it enhances a window’s u-factor by reducing heat transfer. It is an excellent choice for Eagle Mountain homes with high temperatures, as it will help lower utility bills. Moreover, it’s nontoxic and nonflammable, making it an ideal home improvement option.
New Construction
Casement windows encourage efficient air flow and superior views. They are a great choice for homes with limited space, but they cannot accommodate window ACs like other windows.
The frame material and energy efficiency options influence the price of casement windows. Vinyl and aluminum are the least expensive, while fiberglass and composite frames are more costly. Single-pane glass is the cheapest option, while double- and triple-pane windows provide improved insulation and noise reduction.
Whether you need a full-frame or retrofit installation will also affect the price. Full-frame replacements cost more than retrofit installations, but they offer better energy efficiency improvements.
Retrofit
Often, homes need more ventilation than what they can get with traditional window styles. Casement windows open wide like a door, offering expansive and unobstructed views while also providing optimal airflow.
The tight seal that they form when closed also enhances energy efficiency, helping you cut down on your heating and cooling costs. This window style is also easy to operate and clean, making it a great choice for busy homeowners.
The Eagle window brand, now owned by Andersen and referred to as the E-Series, is a popular choice among homeowners. This window is a great option for new construction and retrofitting to older homes.
