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
How do I decide between casement or double hung windows?
Whether casement or double-hung windows are right for you depends on a number of factors: window placement, energy efficiency needs, and aesthetics.
Casement windows have no rival in the energy efficiency department where operable windows are concerned. When open, they allow for maximum ventilation; when closed they create an airtight seal against the frame. Their simpler construction lends itself toward a modern, minimalist aesthetic. Furthermore, they work well in places where there is an obstruction between you and the window (i.e. a kitchen sink) — the operator simply has to turn a crank located at the bottom of the unit.
Double-hung windows, meanwhile, are more affordable than casement windows, especially when replacing multiple windows. They are super-versatile, less of a hassle to clean (the sashes tilt inward so you clean the outside surface even while standing inside), and do not pose a ground-floor collision hazard. Conversely, pen casement windows can be problematic around high-traffic outdoor common areas like patios, driveways, and gardens.
