Why Casement Windows
A Versatile Window for Ventilation, Views and Everyday Comfort
Casement windows work well in many rooms because the entire sash can open outward. When closed, the sash presses against the frame, helping create a tight seal and a clean, streamlined appearance.
◫
Uninterrupted Views
A single large sash and broad glass area provide a clean view of the outdoors with less visual interruption.
✓
Tight Weather Seal
When the window closes, the operating sash is drawn against the frame and weatherstripping to help control air leakage.
↻
Crank Operation
Crank hardware makes casement windows practical in locations where pushing, lifting or sliding a sash would be less convenient.
⌁
Flexible Configurations
Casement windows can be used individually, in pairs, or combined with fixed glass to create larger window arrangements.
◆
Secure Hardware
Integrated locking hardware helps keep the sash tight to the frame while maintaining a clean interior appearance.
Energy Performance
A Tight Closing Action Helps Support Energy Efficiency
Casement windows are known for their compression-style closing action. As the sash closes, it is pulled firmly against the frame, helping the weatherstripping reduce unwanted drafts around the operating window.
Overall performance also depends on the selected glazing package, frame, installation and the condition of the surrounding opening. Energy-efficient glass options are available on compatible configurations.
- Tight sash-to-frame closing action
- Energy-efficient glazing options on compatible products
- Weatherstripping designed to help manage drafts
- Professional measurement and installation for proper fit
Hardware & Construction
What to Look for in a Quality Casement Window
The original page highlighted several construction details that influence how a casement window feels and performs. Rather than focusing on one isolated feature, look at the complete window: frame, glazing, hardware, weatherstripping and installation.
- Durable frame and sash construction
- Insulated glass appropriate for the selected product line
- Smooth crank or operator hardware
- Secure locking system integrated into the frame
- Effective perimeter weatherstripping
- Optional screens where compatible with the selected unit
