What are casement windows?
One type of window, and a popular one at that, is a casement window. Casement windows come in a variety of shapes and sizes, giving homeowners the versatility they need to add natural light to their space. These windows are hinged on one side, opening towards the outside with an easy to use crank handle. Screens are available for use with casement windows as well, keeping insects and debris outside while allowing fresh air inside.

Casement windows feature versatility, which means they can go almost anywhere. While popular above kitchen sinks or in bathrooms, casement windows are also lovely in living rooms, bedrooms, or other spaces throughout your home.
