Casement & Awning Window Replacement
Casement windows are among the best choices for residential window replacement. They’re a traditional window design and a type that features hinges on the side.
Most casement-style windows open at a 90-degree angle like a door. That allows for more open views and ventilation than a typical hung window. Opening these windows usually involves turning a crack that we integrate into the frame. That also makes this style of window ideal for hard-to-reach areas, such as behind a kitchen sink.
Awning windows are a type of hinged window as well. The main difference is that the hinges are at the top of the window rather than on the side. Another way to look at it is that these are horizontal rather than vertical windows. When you open them, they open outward like an awning, hence the name. When open this way, rain generally can’t get into the home. They’re also more convenient over patios, decks, and similar spaces.
The choice between the styles often depends on the installation location and your preference. A common question is whether you can replace other window types with casement windows and awning windows. The answer is yes. There are many different sizes, including custom sizes, to accommodate all dimensions.
