FAQs About Casement Window

• What is a casement window?
  A casement window is hinged at the side and opens outward like a door, typically operated with a crank handle. This design allows for full top-to-bottom ventilation and provides an unobstructed view.
• Are casement windows energy-efficient?
  Yes, casement windows are among the most energy-efficient window types. When closed, the sash presses tightly against the frame, creating an airtight seal that minimizes air leakage and enhances insulation.
• Where are casement windows best used?
  Casement windows are ideal for areas where maximum ventilation is desired, such as kitchens and bathrooms. They’re also suitable for hard-to-reach places, like over countertops or appliances, due to their easy-to-operate crank mechanism.
• How do casement windows compare to other window types?
  Compared to double-hung windows, casement windows offer better ventilation and energy efficiency. Unlike sliding windows, they open fully, allowing for more airflow. However, they may not be suitable for areas adjacent to walkways, as the outward-opening sash could obstruct the path.
• Can casement windows be customized?
  Absolutely. Casement windows come in various frame materials, including vinyl, wood, aluminum, and fiberglass. You can choose from different glass options, such as Low-E or tinted glass, and select hardware finishes that match your home’s décor.​
