Side-hinged units that crank fully open, which makes them the tightest-sealing style we install.
A casement is hinged on the side and cranks outward, so the whole opening becomes airflow instead of half of it. When it closes, the sash pulls tight against the frame, which is why casements usually test tighter than a double-hung of the same size.
They work best over a sink, in a stairwell, or anywhere a sash you have to lift is awkward to reach.
The entire sash swings clear, not half the opening.
The sash pulls into the frame as it locks.
Crank operation instead of reaching up to lift a sash.
Commonly used as the operable flankers either side of a fixed unit.
