casement windows
Side-swinging glass panels
Casement windows are windows that open outward on hinges attached to one side, like a door.
They typically use a crank mechanism to open and close, allowing the full window area to catch breezes.
The design contrasts with double-hung windows, which slide vertically: We replaced the old double-hung windows with casements for better ventilation.
