Windows and doors are an important part of any home. They serve functional purposes like letting in light and air while also providing security and aesthetic appeal. Casement-style windows and doors that open on side hinges like a door are a popular choice for many homeowners today. This style offers both contemporary styling and high performance.
As a leading manufacturer of casement windows and doors, Argos Systems stays on top of all the latest trends in design and technology. We offer homebuilders, remodelers, architects, and homeowners stylish and energy-efficient products incorporating the most advanced engineering. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the major trends in casement window and door design.
Major Trends Happening Now in Design
Minimalist Styling
Clean lines and stripped-down styling are on trend across home products from furniture to lighting fixtures. This minimalist aesthetic extends to windows and doors as well. Argos Systems casements feature narrow frames to allow maximum glass area for increased light and views. Our window sashes and door panels have straight rather than curved profiles. Available in a range of anodized finishes from brilliant whites to dramatic blacks, our casement products can match this pared-down design style. Large, plain glass with no divided lites complements the minimalist look.
We also offer concealed hinges and low-profile hardware options on both windows and doors to preserve the streamlined appearance. Homeowners looking for a contemporary, sophisticated style are choosing casements for both their curb appeal and interior design versatility.
Smart Home Integration
Home automation used to be considered a luxury but Smart Home capabilities are now mainstream and expected by homeowners. Windows and doors are important control points as key access points and links to outdoor conditions. Argos Systems casements are designed for Smart Home integration.
Environmental sensors on exterior doors can communicate conditions like outdoor temperature, humidity, precipitation, and UV levels and then actuate automated responses. Motion detectors provide alerts when activity is detected and can trigger lighting, video recording, or notifications. Integrating casement entry doors and windows into the Smart Home network provides convenience, energy savings, and increased security.
High-Performance Materials
Energy efficiency continues its dominance as a critical window and door quality for sustainability and cost savings. Argos Systems engineers premium components that enable our products to deliver reliable, long-lasting thermal performance.
We utilize high-performance glass with double-pane and triple-pane options available. The coating blocks solar gain in warm weather while allowing light and views. In cold conditions, it prevents indoor heat loss through the glass. Can use gas-filled window units for maximum efficiency.
Structural enhancements like composite reinforcement allow for narrower frames and increased glass areas on casement windows without sacrificing durability. Investing in these innovative manufacturing developments ensures Argos Systems owners enjoy comfort, lower energy costs, and satisfaction for decades.
Bigger Glass
Homeowners want more light and better views while still wanting the security and dependable operation casements provided. Manufacturing advances now make it possible to fabricate these windows and doors with less frame and more glass. Argos System casements are available in custom sizes up to 5 feet wide by 10 feet high to accommodate almost any application.
We have structural improvements like reinforced frames, durable hinge assemblies, and high-performance sealing systems that allow casements to operate reliably at these oversized dimensions.
More Interior & Exterior Finish Options
Casement windows and doors are available in almost any color and finish option imagined today thanks to advancements in materials and coating technologies. Argos Systems offers several color choices for window sashes and door panels spanning traditional white to trending black to bold reds, greens, and blues. We also provide custom color matching if homeowners desire a unique shade.
These powder-coated finishes are extremely durable and scratch-resistant while also offering low-maintenance cleaning. Specialty finishes like faux wood grain replicate the beauty of natural wood without ongoing maintenance.
Hardware offers similar custom possibilities. Hinges, locks, handles, and pulls come in a range of standard and custom choices for finish and style allowing homeowners to perfectly match their vision. Classical oil-rubbed bronze and satin nickel remain go-to favorites for traditional designs. Matte black and mixed metal look to gain popularity in contemporary spaces. Even authentic wood handle inserts complement wood trims and furnishings inside.
