Casement Window Installation
Casement windows operate much like traditional doors — they're hinged at the sides, swinging open to the left or right. A crank mechanism opens and closes the sash.
They are a great option for customers who enjoy the views offered by picture windows (which don't open) but still desire functionality. They are also an excellent alternative to double-hung windows in awkward or hard-to-reach places.
Casement Window Benefits
Ventilation + Views
Rotating a casement window's single sash all the way outward maximizes airflow and viewing area.
Premium Flexibility
Casement windows integrate easily into larger installations (such as bow or bay windows), or can be placed in hard-to-reach spots.
Energy Efficiency
Casement windows open wide and seal tight to reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.
Security
Casement windows are difficult to open from the exterior, even when left unlocked.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best placement for a casement window?
Casement windows are best placed behind sinks, countertops, or other permanent or semi-permanent obstructions. Because all of the operation mechanisms are at the bottom of the window, casement windows are easier to reach, even for shorter individuals. No more leaning, straining, or crawling on top of countertops to push or pull sashes open — you can turn the crank with one hand!
Casement windows are also a good idea for workspaces like home offices or kitchens, as well as anywhere you want a view without sacrificing window operation — making them a nice alternative to picture windows.
