What are Casement Windows?

Casement windows (also called crank handle windows, or crank windows) are usually tall and thin, opening outwards with a hand crank. They are built using a single panel of glass often without ornamentation or grilles to help maximize your favourite British Columbia view. Hinged on the left or the right side, they have easily accessible lever locks at multiple points. Their lock creates a weathertight seal proven to enhance safety, security and overall comfort in your home.

Why Choose Casement Windows?

EASY TO USE – Features a beautifully designed folding handle that is easy to operate, tucks away and doesn’t interfere with your window blinds or shades.

ELEGANCE – Our mortise-and-tenon frame and sash construction provides a timelessly traditional, hand-crafted look.

VERSATILITY – Casement windows are a common choice for above counters, cabinets or anywhere that requires a reach.

COMFORT – When fully open, casements provide the most ventilation of all window styles. When closed, they prevent air infiltration better than any other type of operating window.

HISTORICAL ACCURACY – With custom grille patterns they can mimic double-hung designs, a popular option for home renovation and restoration projects where historical accuracy is important.

Fibrex Frames

All Renewal by Andersen of British Columbia window frames are made with exclusive Fibrex® material, a high-quality composite material that combines the strength and stability of wood with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. Fibrex was designed for beauty, energy efficiency, easy maintenance and the durability to withstand Canada’s harsh winters in a way vinyl never could.

Additional Window Options

TRUSCENE® INSECT SCREENS

Truscene Insect Screens are virtually invisible, offering over 50% more clarity than standard window screens. Built with a micro-fine stainless steel mesh, they let in more sunlight and fresh Canadian air, while keeping even the tiniest pesky insects out.

Grille Patterns

You choose how many squares comprise each sash.

A classic style with two vertical bars in each window.

A design that always includes two vertical bars and two horizontal bars on each sash that create a “picture frame” look.

This pattern features two horizontal bars and two vertical bars per window instead of per sash.

Grille Types

Interior Wood Grilles

Hardwood grilles allow for easy glass cleaning as the grill snaps into clips on the sash interior that can be easily removed. Available in two widths.

Gilles Between The Glass

This aluminum pre-finished grille is permanently installed between the panes of glass to provide the speedy glass cleaning of a smooth surface. Available in two widths and an array of colors.

Full Divided Light Grilles

A permanently attached exterior Fibrex® grille, an aluminum spacer between the glass, and a permanently applied (or removable) interior grille makes this a visual replication of true divided glass. Also available in two distinct widths.

Renewal by Andersen® offers two unique glass performance options

Each one of our unique glass options offer a varying degree of benefits within the categories of heating, cooling, ultra violet (UV protection) and visible light transmittance.

Benjamin Grinter

Vlad and his team did a fantastic job. They arrived on time, were efficient, professional and communicated effectively throughout the installation. Highly recommended.

Bruce Morrison

Despite the salesman’s statement about the final condition being just like it’s current condition, I was nonetheless concerned. My concern was that the trim inside and out would be damaged as the trim inside is very dated and would’ve been impossible to duplicate and the outdoor trim is very weathered vinyl, replacement would also be impossible. The installers were very professional and did an amazingly great job and the finished job was perfect in all ways.

David Bowerman

We had our windows and patio doors replaced by Renewal by Andersen. Jason gave us multiple options to choose from that would fit into our strata's requirements and was straightforward about the time it would take to manufacture the windows and doors. While it took slightly longer than expected for the job to be completed due to some Covid-19 supply chain issues (who hasn't run into those in the last couple of years?), the job was completed and we are very happy with the results. Corey and his crew were very professional and respectful of our concerns about physical distancing, etc. during the installation. The crew cleaned up thoroughly after the installation work was completed. The installed windows and doors look very good and make our home more comfortable. I'd give Corey and his crew a 10 out of 10 for their service.

The 20 year warranty on the glass and Fibrex portion of the windows and the 10 year warranty on the remainder of the hardware was much appreciated seeing as one of our neighbours who went with a different company three years ago had issues within 2 years but were only covered for 1 year.

Nick Shultze came to take measurements today for the future installation of my windows.
He was on time, very professional and informative, answered all my questions.
Made me happy to have chosen this company

Laura Dalgliesh

Vlad and the crew were quick and efficient as well as friendly, the windows are amazing, and are a huge improvement to my home. Outstanding service!

Joanna Dunlop

Just had the patio door and windows installed and am obsessed! Gorgeous! They took a lot longer to arrive than we originally thought but so worth the wait. The team was fantastic from sales to install to follow up. Recommend!

Anna Iantchenko

The installation crew was awesome, the office communication and the technician were great. The windows quality is very good, I highly recommend. Just to warn you that the standard order doesn't include any locks, handles, or slide stoppers by default: you have to order them separately.
Also I want to mention, the company does go above and beyond to make things right for you. At the end you will have cool windows that will keep your house warm and beautiful.

James Alridge

Terri Nguyen

Great presentation on their sliding door and
very details on how they will install it. I'm very happy and can't wait to see the finish product. Highly recommended!

William Birch

So far, so good. My windows have not as yet been installed, but I am very impressed with Renewal professionalism in discussing and showing the benefits of there windows, during the inital meeting. Then two gentlemen came by to measure the windows to be changed, and were very pleasant and informative with respect to the forth coming installation.
I would differently recommend Renewal by Andersen, to friends and/or other people.

Nicole O'Keefe

Cameron was on time and friendly. Explained in detail what would happen on install and the modifications that will need to be made to one of the windows. Which is great so there are no surprises after the job is done.
