Casement windows have a sash that hinges on the left or right side of the window frame. Most casement windows are operated by a folding hand crank at the bottom of the window frame. This simple operation makes casement windows a top choice for spaces like kitchens or bathrooms, where cabinets or large bathtubs may block access to the upper portion of the window.
Casement windows typically have a modern aesthetic, but you can add panes or dividing sashes for a more traditional feel. Because of their single-sash design, these windows offer wide, unobstructed views, top-notch ventilation, and easy cleaning. Casement windows are also a good choice for safety and security reasons. In an emergency, the sash can be opened 90 degrees to serve as a second exit for residents.
