Casement Windows

A casement window is any window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges. Specifically, windows attached to the frame on the side (windows hinged at the top are awning windows, but more on that later). Basically, they’re like doors, only instead of opening with a knob, they open with a crank.

Casement windows come in a large variety of designs, sizes, and materials. They work well when combined as part of a larger window installation, such as in bay, bow, or French windows.

Casement windows are one of the most energy-efficient windows. The sash creates an airtight seal against the window frame when closed making it hard for air to get through. Casement windows are an excellent way to ventilate due to opening from the side. Casement windows also provide unobstructed views since the window is made up of one sash.
