When it comes to architectural design, windows play a significant role in defining the overall look and feel of a building. Among the many types of windows available, French casement arched windows have stood the test of time, offering an elegant and timeless appeal to homes across the globe. In this blog post, we will delve into the beauty and benefits of these windows, and why they are the perfect addition to your home.
French casement arched windows have their origins in the Renaissance period, when architects and builders began to experiment with new designs and materials. These windows, also known as French casement windows with an arched top, are characterized by their two sashes that open outwards from the center, creating a wide, unobstructed view. The arched design adds an extra touch of sophistication and elegance, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of classic European charm to their homes.
There's no denying that French casement arched windows are visually stunning. The combination of the casement style, which allows for maximum natural light and ventilation, and the graceful curve of the arch creates a unique and attractive focal point. These windows can be customized to fit any architectural style, from traditional to modern, making them a versatile choice for homeowners.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, French casement arched windows offer several practical benefits:
One of the main reasons homeowners choose French casement arched windows is for the unobstructed views they provide. Unlike traditional windows with a central mullion, these windows have no vertical divider, allowing for a clear, panoramic view of the outdoors. This feature not only enhances the visual appeal of your home but also creates a sense of openness and connection to the outside world.
The casement design of these windows allows for optimal airflow, as both sashes can be opened wide to let in fresh air. This is particularly beneficial in rooms that require good ventilation, such as kitchens and bathrooms. The arched design also helps to circulate air more efficiently, keeping your home cooler in the summer months.
French casement arched windows can be fitted with energy-efficient glass and weatherstripping, helping to keep your home comfortable and reducing your energy bills. The tight seal created when the window is closed prevents drafts and air leaks, ensuring your home stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
The locking mechanisms on French casement arched windows are typically more secure than those found on traditional windows. The multi-point locking system ensures that the window is securely fastened, providing an added layer of protection for your home.
When selecting the perfect French casement arched window for your home, there are several factors to consider:
These windows are available in a variety of materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass. Each material has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, so it's essential to choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences. Wood is a popular choice for its natural beauty and warmth, while vinyl and aluminum are low-maintenance and budget-friendly options.
The type of glass used in your French casement arched window will impact its energy efficiency and appearance. Double or triple-pane glass with low-E coatings is recommended for optimal insulation and reduced heat transfer. You can also choose from a variety of decorative glass options, such as stained or frosted glass, to add a personal touch to your windows.
The hardware you choose for your French casement arched windows will not only impact their functionality but also their appearance. Select high-quality hinges and handles that complement your home's architectural style and interior design.
French casement arched windows are a beautiful and functional addition to any home. With their timeless appeal, unobstructed views, and numerous practical benefits, it's no wonder they remain a popular choice for homeowners worldwide. By carefully considering your options and working with a reputable manufacturer, you can find the perfect French casement arched window to enhance your home's beauty and value.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels.

In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.

Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.
