Are casement windows cheaper than slider sash windows?
While casement and slider sash windows have different applications, they each have unique values and prices. Slider windows operate by sliding the sash from side to side, providing maximum ventilation and an unobstructed view. Casement windows are suited for tall openings and feature a compression seal that saves energy and offers better security than slider windows. The difference in price for both window options is reflected in performance. If you want the most efficient window with a higher Energy Star rating, go for casement windows. If you want a cheaper option, slider sash windows work just fine.
Casement vs sliding window cost?

For timber windows, 600 x 900, the average cost of sash window is around £1450-£1750 and casement window cost £850-900. For a bigger window of 1200 x 1200, timber windows cost £1,500-1800 for sash windows and £850-£970 for casement windows. The price rises to £14,000 or more if they’re windows for a 4-bedroom house.
