What is a casement window?

Casement windows are hinged at the sides and swing outward like a door. Unlike double hung or sliding windows, a casement window has no rail, though some casement types are pushed open and pulled closed manually with a handle, but most of the casement windows are operated by a hand crank usually located on the lowest part of the window frame. These windows typically have a modern aesthetic, and a more traditional style can be achieved by adding window grids.

Casement windows are the most contemporary and convenient type of windows. These windows are versatile, customizable, efficient, timeless, and great for ventilation. Additionally, they offer great value for money making them popular among the residents of the Dallas Metroplex area.

Where casement windows can be used?

At James Kate Windows, we offer two types of sliding windows: two-lite and three-lite sliding windows. Our two-lite sliding windows have two independent sashes that slide left to right, allowing maximum ventilation and makes cleaning a breeze. On the other hand, our three-lite sliding windows have two independent sashes on either side of a fixed center sash.

Casement Windows are a great option for maximizing beautiful views. They are perfect for curb-facing areas of your home. Easily opening and closing with a crank that folds away when not in use, casement windows are ideal for large rooms that need lots of airflow. Casement windows are the best solution for moisture-prone areas of your home such as the kitchen or bathroom. You can also angle these windows to catch a breeze, perfect for flushing out cooking smells or airing out large bedrooms.

Features of casement windows

Casement windows are very easy to open and close offer fantastic ventilation opportunities providing a fully open window on one or more hinges. These windows are highly energy efficient since they seal very well and offer an unobstructed view, as they swing open like a door and do not require grilles or muntin for support.
