Casement Windows

What are Casement Windows

Casement windows, also known as side hinge windows, are a window capable of swinging open to allow excellent ventilation. Commonly opened and closed via crank, casement windows provide a great solution for difficult to reach windows or rooms with limited space for a window. These space-efficient windows are often seen in rooms that can make use of the ventilation, like kitchens (above sinks) and in bathrooms. If you’re in the market for an energy-efficient window for a potentially tight space, the casement window may be for you!

Should I Choose Casement Windows

As always, this depends on your home that the window will be installed into. Casement windows are definitely for you if you require strong ventilation on a somewhat limited budget, and don’t care as much about flooding a room with natural light. With that said, a casement window may also be a great choice for those who want to fit a window in a small or difficult to reach area of their home.
