What is a casement window?
Sliding windows, also known as gliding windows, slider
windows or pocket sliders operate horizontally with one sash
sliding in a pocket past the other to provide ventilation. The
sashes glide on brass rollers to provide easier and smoother
operation. Many modern and ranch style homes are designed using
the slider window style. The sashes may be lifted out of the
pocket for cleaning without a ladder. When in the locked
position the sashes are secure and cannot be removed.
What is an awning window?
An awning window has a single sash that opens outward on a
horizontal axis. Otherwise the hardware and construction are
very similar to the casement window line.
Where should I consider installing a casement window?
Hard-to-reach areas like over a kitchen sink or in a
projecting window like a bow or bay are excellent locations to
consider a casement window. The single crank operator can open
and close the window with ease. Also a casement will allow more
light and visibility than other styles.
