Casement Windows

A casement window is hinged on one side and opens outward with a crank handle. Turn the crank, and the whole sash swings out, which lets in more air than a window that only slides partway. Close it, and the sash pulls tight against the frame for a solid seal.

They can be. We install casement units with impact-rated glass that meets Florida code, so you get the wide-open ventilation and storm protection in the same window. On the coast, that's usually the version we recommend.

It comes down to size, frame material, glass package, and how many you're replacing. Impact glass adds cost up front, but can pay you back through lower insurance and energy bills. We'd rather measure your openings and give you a real number, so grab a free quote and we'll price it honestly.

Generally, yes. Because the sash seals against the frame when it's closed, casements tend to leak less air than sliding styles. Less air leakage means the AC works less, which shows up on your power bill during a Florida summer.

They shine in spots that are hard to reach, like over a kitchen sink or counter, where cranking a handle beats pushing up a heavy sash. They're also great anywhere you want maximum airflow and a clean, unobstructed view.

Casements open wider and seal tighter, so they usually ventilate better and leak less air. Double hung windows tilt in for easy cleaning and give a more traditional look. Neither is simply better. It depends on the room and the look you're after, and we'll help you match the style to the spot.
