ᐅ Windows & Window Sizes: What to Choose? Double-Hung or Casement Windows?

Hello,

for our bungalow, we have partially planned three windows measuring 138.5cm by 126cm (55 inches by 50 inches) in height, and one window 138.5cm by 76cm (55 inches by 30 inches) in height. Given this width, would it make sense to use double casement windows? Do such windows even exist?

Since we have not planned for a mechanical ventilation system, we will be ventilating frequently. With ventilation, relatively wide single casement windows will open fully into the room, which I find disruptive. Over time, this could also cause sagging due to the weight and long lever action. Additionally, if there is a flower vase or other items on the windowsill, they must be completely cleared away when ventilating. With double casement windows, on the other hand, you can simply slide one side open to the side.

Thanks for your advice

Everything is available... everything is custom made anyway. For such wide windows, I wouldn’t choose a single sash either, but with two sashes the window panes end up quite small. It would be better to go with a width of 1.50 meters (5 feet), which also looks less square.

Best regards,
Sabine

Hi, why did you decide against installing a ventilation system?

Have you thought it through carefully?

Mostly because of the costs of such systems.

As a supplement, I am adding the following data:

I find "Golgend" to be a very beautiful word.
