Casement Windows can be a nice alternative to Double Hungs or sliders by adding a more streamlined appearance without the sash break through the middle of the window. The smooth, clean frame and sash profile of casement windows is ideal if you enjoy a wide-open view of the outdoors and lots of natural light. Casement windows are hinged on the sides to open outward to the left or right allowing maximum airflow. These windows provide many other benefits as well, including excellent energy efficiency because of their tight seal, greater security, and nearly effortless operation.
Casement windows, like the 2-lite from Thermal-Gard shown here with 8-lite internal grids, can be a great option with many benefits. One of the best features of casement windows is their easy operation. Because they open with a hand crank, they’re wonderful for hard-to-reach places like over sinks and countertops.
