When it comes to enhancing your home’s aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and security, choosing the right windows is crucial. The Lorimer uPVC casement windows from CR Smith offer a perfect blend of style, durability and performance, making them an ideal choice for any homeowner. In this blog, we will explore the numerous benefits of these exceptional windows and why they should be at the top of your home improvement list. 

The history of casement windows

The history behind casement windows is a rich one, being the first window to open outwards on swinging hinges. The timber precursor to the uPVC casement window consisted of a single, outward swinging pane operated by a peg and stay handle to prevent the window from being caught in a gust of wind. This mechanical design caught on, from its ease of use and functionality, to create the casement window of today. Casement windows have evolved radically from their timber predecessor, with their slimline frames, large panes of glass, mechanical engineering and robust security features.
