Side-hinged windows that crank open like a door, catch breezes and seal tightly when closed.
A casement window is hinged on one side and opens outward with a crank, like a small door. Because the sash presses against the frame when it is locked, casements often seal more tightly than sliding windows. They also open fully, so they catch side breezes well. They are popular in kitchens, over sinks and in rooms where you want strong ventilation. Homeowners in Nashville choose them for modern and traditional homes alike.
We help you decide which rooms suit casements, thinking about furniture, outdoor space, screens and the way the sash will swing. We measure carefully, choose hardware and finish and install the windows with the crank on the side that suits the room. We explain how to operate and clean them, how the lock pulls the sash tight and how to care for the operator. We also install matching fixed windows beside casements when you want a wider view.
Locking pulls the sash against the weatherstripping, which can give a very good seal.
A fully open casement catches wind that blows along the wall and moves it into the room.
Kitchens, baths, bedrooms and hard-to-reach spots all suit a crank window, as long as there is room outside for the sash to swing.
The crank, arm and hinges do the work, so we choose quality hardware and show you how to care for it.
