The main feature of casement windows are the hinged sash that swings open to the outside of the home. These windows are controlled with a “crank” handle mechanism which allows them to be opened and closed with the turn of this crank. Casement windows are hinged and hang vertically whereas awning windows, their counterparts, hang horizontally.
The entire panel opens with hinged casement windows to provide ventilation. The open panel will also act to capture a passing breeze and guide it into the house, depending on the location of the window. Since there are no muntins, these windows offer a clear and unobstructed view.
