WHY CHOOSE CASEMENT WINDOWS?

Casement windows are hinged on either the left or right side and swing open outward. They operate with a simple hand crank and have just one sash, providing multiple benefits.

Ideal for ventilation, casement windows can fully open to usher in the breeze and maximize air circulation throughout your home. With no middle sash, your views are unobstructed. Simply add casement window screens to prevent nature from coming inside.

Easy to open without lifting, pulling, or pushing, casement windows are a great choice for tight spaces. You can choose which side opens, to make operation even easier, better catch the breeze, and improve the look of the room.

Featuring a secure seal when closed, casement windows enhance energy efficiency by reducing air leakage. Vinyl casement windows offer excellent UV resistance and insulation, preventing heat from entering and escaping your home and reducing your utility bills.

FAQs about casement windows

What does the term casement window mean?

A casement window is a window type that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges at the side. Casement windows are commonly operated by cranks that swing the window outward to open, making them particularly suitable for hard-to-reach places. They can open to the left or right, allowing for maximum versatility, ventilation, and natural light.

How do casement windows open?

Casement windows open outward from the side hinges by turning a crank handle located at the window's base. This design allows for maximum ventilation and control over air flow, as the window can be opened partially or fully depending on the need. The outward opening also provides excellent accessibility for cleaning the exterior glass from inside.

How do you adjust casement windows?

Adjusting casement windows usually involves correcting issues with alignment, sealing, or operation. This might include tightening or loosening the hinge screws, aligning the window sash with the frame for a proper seal, or lubricating the crank mechanism for smoother operation. It's important to regularly check these aspects to ensure optimal performance.
