Why choose a casement
- Opens fully, so you get more fresh air than a slider of the same size
- Tight compression seal against wind and dust
- Easy to open over a counter or sink
- Clean look that suits territorial, pueblo and modern homes
Awning windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward. They're good for bathrooms, high windows and spots where you want air during a light summer rain.
Things to plan for
Casements swing outward, so we check for portals, walkways and plants outside. Crank hardware gets more wear than slider latches, so we look at the hardware quality and warranty when comparing brands.
Pair casements beside a picture window for a big view with air on both sides. Call (505) 616-3368.
Common questions
Are casements more expensive than sliders?
Usually somewhat more per window because of the hardware. The tighter seal is what you're paying for.
Can you put screens on casements?
Yes. Casement screens go on the inside.
