Casement Windows

Key Features of Casement Windows

When performance matters, casement windows are often the first choice for architects and developers. Here is why:

• Maximum Ventilation: Unlike sliding windows that only open halfway, casement windows open fully. The open sash acts like a sail, catching side breezes and directing fresh air into your home.

• The Industry’s Best Seal: When closed, the window sash presses tightly against the frame, creating a compression seal similar to a refrigerator door. This makes them the most airtight and weather-resistant operable window style available.

• Uninterrupted Views: With no center meeting rail, you get a clear, expansive view of the outdoors, making them a perfect alternative to fixed picture windows in areas where you also need airflow.

• Effortless Operation: Whether located over a kitchen sink or behind a piece of furniture, our easy-to-turn crank handles make opening and closing a breeze.

Types of Casement Windows

Casement Windows vs Other Window Types

Casement vs Sliding Windows

Casement windows are hinged on one side and open outward, offering superior ventilation compared to sliding windows, which only open partially. Sliding windows tend to have a smaller opening, limiting airflow. Casement windows are also more airtight, making them a better choice for energy efficiency.

Best Uses for Casement Windows

Where to Install Casement Windows

Casement windows are versatile and can be used in various settings. They are especially ideal for:

• Kitchens and Bathrooms: Casement windows provide excellent ventilation, making them perfect for rooms where fresh air is important.

• Living Rooms and Bedrooms: Their clear, expansive views make them perfect for rooms with a scenic view.

• Above Sinks or Countertops: Since casement windows often have a crank operation, they are easy to open even in tight spaces like above a kitchen sink.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are aluminum casement windows energy efficient?

A: Yes. When built with a thermal break and double-glazing, they offer exceptional insulation. Their design allows for a much tighter seal than sliding or double-hung windows, preventing air leakage.

Q: Do casement windows open inward or outward?

A: Most DAW casement windows are designed as outswing windows to maximize interior space and improve weatherproofing (the wind pushes the sash tighter against the seal). However, inswing options are available upon request.

Q: Which is better, casement or awning windows?

A: It depends on the location. Casement windows are taller and provide better side-breeze ventilation. Awning windows are wider and can stay open during rain. They are often used together in a single window combination.
