Window styles
Casement windows.
Hinged on the side, cranks open like a door. The tightest-sealing window you can open.
What it is
The crank-out.
Whole opening, one turn of the handle.
A casement is hinged on one side and swings out when you turn the crank. When you close it, the lock pulls the sash in against the weatherstrip all the way around. That compression seal is why casements test tighter than any sliding window.
Open it and the whole opening is open, not half. Angle it into the breeze and it scoops air into the room.
Where it fits
Where a casement belongs.
Hard-to-reach spots and tight-seal rooms.
- Over the kitchen sink. One hand on the crank, no leaning, no lifting.
- Anywhere you can feel wind. The compression seal does not care which way the wind blows.
- Tall narrow openings.
- Replacing old steel casements in Memphis and Nashville ranches. Same look, warm frame.
Straight talk
What to know before you pick it.
Honest trade-offs.
- The screen is on the inside, because the sash swings out.
- A window air conditioner does not fit a casement.
- The crank hardware is the part that wears. Ours is metal, not plastic, and it is covered by the manufacturer's written limited warranty.
- Do not put one where it would swing into a walkway or a deck.
Fair questions
Questions people ask.
Do not see yours? Call or text (601) 966-0319 and ask.
Do casements open left or right?
Either. We set the hinge side when we measure so it opens the way you want it to.
Can a casement be used for a bedroom exit?
Often, yes. Casements open the full width of the sash, which helps. We check the opening size on every bedroom.
Are casements more efficient than double hungs?
Closed, a casement seals tighter because the lock pulls it in against the weatherstrip. Same glass package, tighter air seal.
Can you pair a casement with a picture window?
Yes. Casements on each side of a big picture window is a classic living room setup.
Which one is yours?
Tell us how many openings and where. We measure, write one number, and install.
