Casement windows are hinged on the side and crank open outward. When closed, the sash presses into the frame, which makes casements one of the most airtight window styles available.

Where casements work best

• Over kitchen sinks and counters, where reaching up to lift a sash is hard
• Rooms where you want maximum airflow, since the whole sash opens
• Contemporary and modern home styles
• Paired with a picture window for views plus ventilation

Cost

Frequently asked questions

Are casement windows more expensive?

Usually somewhat more than a double-hung of the same size, because of the crank hardware. See our cost guide.

Can casements be egress windows?

Often yes, because the full sash opens. We’ll confirm the opening meets egress size requirements for bedrooms.
