Best seal of the three
If the room is drafty and the wall can take a crank-out, this is the one we recommend over a slider.
WINDOWS · CASEMENT
Casement Windows
A casement closes onto a weatherstrip with a lock, which is why it outperforms a slider when the wind drives rain at the wall. We install single and paired casements where you want ventilation and a clean sightline, and we check the swing: a crank-out sash needs room, and it should not dump water onto a walkway when it is left open.
Included in this scope
- Single, double or picture-over-casement configurations
- Hardware on the side you can reach, not behind a counter
- Screens that belong to the unit
- Flashed full-frame installation
- A swing check against walks, decks and outdoor furniture
Details that change the result
Egress still counts
A bedroom casement has to open far enough for egress. We measure that before we order a pretty sash that does not qualify.
Mix with fixed glass
A fixed picture window flanked by casements gives you the view and the air. It is the combination on a lot of the houses we finish.

Questions
Before you call
Can a casement replace a double-hung?
Often yes, in the same opening. The exterior look changes. On a street with a strict elevation, we show you the difference before we order.
Do they leak at the crank?
Not if the sash is adjusted and the weatherstrip is intact. A casement that will not close fully is a maintenance item we can reset, or a sign the frame is racked.
What about awning windows?
An awning — hinged at the top — is the cousin we use high on a wall or in a shower, where you want air and rain protection. Ask for it in the same package.
