What Are Casement Windows?

Casement windows are considered one of the most common window types that you will find on homes just about anywhere. A casement window is one that is hinged at the side and opens outwards like a door. It is highly likely that you have a casement window somewhere in your home!

A Brief History of the Casement Window Design

Casement-style windows have been around for quite some time. They made their first regular appearance at the end of the 18th century, where they became a popular choice for replacing older mullioned-style windows. Because of the difficulties of glass production at the time, the earliest casement windows were usually comprised of many smaller glass panels, rather than one or two large panels as is common today.

The earliest frames were made with wood, eventually moving to iron and then more durable modern materials such as uPVC and aluminum. These material changes, coupled with advancements in glass making, helped casement windows become highly efficient.

Early casement windows generally didn’t feature any opening hardware and were simply held shut with manual latches. Today, casement windows can be installed in homes with the manual push-style opening system, or a more conventional hand-crank system.
