Casement and Awning Windows Features and Benefits

Casement and awning windows are both hinged, either on the sides or on top. Hinged on the side, Casement windows swing outward like a door and provide maximum ventilation.  Most casement windows involve a crank, or operator, that is used to open and close the windows. 

Casement windows can be the perfect solution if you are installing windows over a sink, countertop, or appliance. Similarly, if you need emergency escape windows in a bedroom.

Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward and upward. This design enables ventilation without letting in rain or falling leaves.  Awning windows are often used for hard to reach places because they can be placed high on the wall and easily open and close by turning the crank or operator. 

Additionally, the awning design is a great choice to pair with non-operable windows – like a picture window. This is because awning windows are generally smaller in size than single hung windows, sliding windows, or casements.
