Casement Windows
Unobstructed Views with Effortless Operation
Casement windows feature hinges mounted on the side that allow the entire sash to swing outward like a door. This side-hinged design provides an unobstructed glass area without horizontal or vertical rails interrupting your view. The crank mechanism offers smooth, controlled operation that requires minimal effort regardless of window size.
Installing casement windows delivers exceptional ventilation by capturing passing breezes and directing airflow into your home. The tight seal created when closed makes these windows among the most energy-efficient options available for residential applications. The unobstructed glass design maximizes natural light penetration while providing clear, uninterrupted views of your outdoor surroundings.
Casement windows are manufactured in widths ranging from 1.5 to 3 feet and heights from 3 to 6.5 feet. Single casement units work well in compact spaces, while paired configurations create impressive window walls. Custom sizes accommodate unique architectural openings and specific design requirements throughout your home.
Cleaning the exterior glass is simple since casement windows swing fully inward for easy access from inside your home. Lubricating the crank mechanism and hinges annually maintains smooth operation and prevents hardware wear. Wiping down weatherstripping with a damp cloth keeps seals pliable and effective at blocking air infiltration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Casement Windows
Making informed decisions about casement windows requires understanding their unique characteristics and benefits for your home. Here are detailed answers to the questions we encounter most frequently from homeowners:
Casement windows can be hinged on either the left or right side, depending on your room layout and operational preferences. The swing direction is determined during ordering based on furniture placement, traffic patterns, and ventilation needs. We help you select the optimal hinge placement for each window location in your home.
Casement windows perform exceptionally well in all climate zones, from cold northern regions to hot southern areas. The compression seal design provides superior protection against air infiltration in cold climates while blocking heat transfer in warm climates. Quality casement windows are tested to withstand extreme weather conditions and temperature variations.
The hook-style locking mechanism embedded within the frame makes casement windows among the most secure residential window options. Multiple locking points distribute pressure across the frame rather than concentrating force at a single location. When properly locked, casement windows are extremely difficult to force open from the exterior.
Casement windows typically project outward 90 degrees or more when fully opened, extending the full width of the window. This projection requires clearance on the exterior, so placement near walkways or patios needs consideration. The full opening capability maximizes ventilation and provides complete access for cleaning.
Screens for casement windows are installed on the interior side since the window opens outward. This interior screen placement means screens remain in place year-round and are easily accessible for cleaning. The screen design allows full window operation without removal or interference.
Crank mechanisms benefit from annual lubrication with silicone spray or light machine oil to ensure smooth operation. Keeping the crank arm and operator clean prevents debris from affecting functionality. Quality hardware like we install requires minimal maintenance while providing decades of reliable service.
Properly sized casement windows easily meet building code egress requirements for emergency exits from bedrooms and basements. The full opening capability provides generous clearance for emergency evacuation. We ensure casement windows in sleeping areas comply with all local building codes.
Casement windows are competitively priced relative to other quality window types with comparable features and energy performance. The investment reflects superior ventilation capability, enhanced security, and exceptional energy efficiency. We provide transparent pricing and value-focused options for every budget.
Casement windows are available in a wide range of sizes with practical limitations based on the weight that hinges and cranks can effectively support. Larger window openings can accommodate paired casement units or combinations with fixed panels for expansive glass areas. Our design team helps determine optimal sizing for your specific applications.
Vinyl, fiberglass, and composite materials all perform excellently for casement window frames with minimal maintenance requirements. Each material offers distinct advantages in terms of insulation, durability, and aesthetic options. We guide you toward the best frame material based on your priorities and local climate conditions.
