CASEMENT & AWNING
Crank it open and the whole opening opens.
A casement swings out to the side; an awning hinges at the top. Both are crank-operated, and both seal tighter than a sliding sash because the handle pulls them into the frame.
The most ventilation you can get
Because the sash swings clear of the opening, a casement gives you close to all of the glass area as airflow. A hung window gives you half.
Awnings can stay open in the rain
Hinged at the top, so water runs off the outside of the glass. Good over a kitchen sink, a bath, or a laundry room.
A tighter seal
The crank draws the sash in against the weatherstrip all the way around, which is why casements usually test better on air infiltration.
Check the swing first
A casement swings out into walkways, screen enclosures and patio furniture. We look at the outside before we spec it.
What we carry
Casement and awning units through both Shwinco and Viwinco.
