Casement windows are slightly more expensive than the sliding windows and fixed windows. In general when you add the price of the installation, which doesn’t change depending on the style of the windows – you end up with a slight increase in the price.

The main thing to keep in mind when choosing the styles of the windows is your comfort and our experience staff can provide valuable suggestions based on your preferences.
Casement windows are slightly more energy efficient than the sliding windows and slightly less energy efficient than the fixed windows. The exact difference will depend on a number of factors and is somewhat complicated to calculate, on average there is about 4% energy efficiency difference between casement and sliding window.
When deciding on which direction casement windows should open, you need to consider two factors. The first one is from which direction you get more wind from and the second one is how it will look from the outside when several windows are open at the same time on the same side of the house. RVW Ltd staff can help you decide on the direction your casement windows should open at a free initial consultation.

Really depends on what you prefer. In terms of energy efficiency – single hung window is better and it has a screen that covers only half of the window. The double hung window adds versatility since you can open either bottom or top sash.

You cannot for two reasons. The first one is the drainage holes on the windows are located in the bottom part of the frame, if you install a sliding window vertically – your drainage holes will be on the side which will prevent the proper drainage and will create problems in the long run. The second reason is that the sliding windows unlike the hung windows do not have springs in the frame that keep the operating sash in open position, so if you install it vertically – every time you will lift up the sash, it will slam down.
To properly estimate the cost of installing new windows in your home you need to consider several variables: amount and sizes of the windows, color, grilles if any, glazing and coatings, custom shaped windows if any, exterior and interior finishes.

Triple glass indeed is better than the double glass. You can greatly increase the energy efficiency of the windows by adding an additional pane of glass. It also allows adding another LoE coating to the glass unit which will further increase the energy efficiency. The other two benefits are improved sound reduction and surface glass condensation.
