yah, I always advice casement for my most of clients, the difference in prices is not much but, the functioning are totally different to sliding,

14k is much oo brother although i kind of get what you saying, if I am faced with 20 windows that's 280k in saving if i go sliding over casement, however i do not believe 280k is really that much in the grand scheme of things, traditional sliding windows are now considered "old school" in a way

Just check 90% of the building sold at over N100m in Banana Island and see how many of them have casement windows

Sliding is not old school. The way we design our windows is.

Baba never mind jare. Just do what works for you.

First sliding windows doesn’t have better airflow.
Second, the type of windows will cost more than casement.
Third, casement is more expensive than sliding.
Fourth, did you see 4x4 there?

There’ll always be an excuse not to accept change.

Food for thought

At the end of the day i guess the deciding factor will be taste seeing as there really isn't that much of a cost difference all things considered. And these days most people just go with what is trending rather than risk doing something new.

The people are really not at fault but our designers/architects who are stucked in their old ways.

That’s exactly what the guys in the upscale development arena are doing different.

Even if I’m building a house in a ghetto, it’s still going to have a modern feel.

Did we miss the extreme makeover done by Omotola Jolade in one old school building like that? I’ll look for images and share the before and after pics.

Make you no vex with me, I’m just comfortable doing the normal stuffs.

You’re right.

The only difference here is in the mindset. The folks in Lekki too can be designing 4x4 windows.

They chose to do things differently.

Good designs are not location specific. - Brabus

They are following their lekki bandwagon(mindset) , we are following our kobo kobo bandwagon(mindset). I won't be stressed.
Moreover there are lots of casement window builds in lekki.

The things are on high side now, can u imagine u did this windows for nairalander here #32k last 2 year, so if u ready we can give u discount if u want this design, and I have another design dat not up to this and is casement but different burglaries, [quote author=Footstradamus post=101199251]

I’m actually not laughing.

I understand the situation around but don’t get intimidated by the big stuffs you see out there.

You can actually achieve something similar on a low budget build.

If you can’t afford EBM or Transom, you can go for grey imported aluminum and achieve almost the same look on a low budget.


_________

Let me give you an example.

Pic 1 - This was supposed to be the look of my office.

Pic 2 - I know the reality didn’t match my dream so I decided to remodel it into something with a modern feel

Pic 3&4 - The difference is in the design. The burglar proof gate and the sliding glass door installed cost almost the same amount as the white door and the window I installed.

Good design is not always about cost. It is in how good a designer is.

I know some folk will like the before pics to the after images. This is just for me grin
