Casement Windows
Casement windows operate by opening outward, allowing you to fully open the window and enjoy the maximum amount of breeze.
What are Casement Windows?
Many windows limit airflow because they overlap or are partially closed. Casement windows operate by opening outward, allowing you to fully open the window and enjoy the maximum amount of breeze.
A casement window’s hinge is on the side, enabling it to open all the way to the right or left. An interior crank slowly pushes the pane outward. Once you have it fully open, a tension device keeps the window firmly in place. Casement windows are extremely versatile. You can open one window for a slight breeze or extend both windows at once to achieve maximum airflow.
When the window is closed, an interior latch pulls it shut so that it’s secure and flush with the frame’s weatherstripping. Other windows require a flexible seal to stay flush with the frame, but a casement window does not need this flexibility. That feature provides excellent protection against heat loss during the winter.
They are also the only type of consumer window that allows for a completely open view without any strips obstructing your sightlines, making them a great replacement window in rooms that overlook a beautiful backyard or landscape.
Why choose Casement Windows?
Casement windows come with many advantages, including:
- Improved airflow, as the wide-open window is excellent at funnelling natural breeze through your home
- A more efficient seal that prevents heat loss, cold loss, or water damage
- Unobstructed views of your surroundings because there is no centre strip in the window
- Difficult for a home invader to enter, as the only way to open the casement window is with the interior crank
- Screens are easier to clean because you can pull them down from the inside
