Casement windows are a type of window attached to its frame by one or more hinges on the side, allowing the window to swing outward like a door. They open either to the left or right, providing excellent ventilation and a clear, unobstructed view. Hinged on the side, they swing open fully, usually outward, allowing for maximum airflow. When closed, casement windows seal tightly against the frame, offering excellent energy efficiency, weather resistance, and noise reduction. Casement windows can open at various angles, allowing you to direct airflow into the room. Casement windows are ideal for areas that need enhanced ventilation, like kitchens and bathrooms, as they can capture side breezes more effectively than other window types. The tight seal around the frame helps in reducing air leakage, which can contribute to lower heating and cooling costs. Casement windows typically feature hook-shaped locks embedded within the frame, making them more secure than some other window types.
