Looking for a window that would be perfect for your space? What about casement windows? In this roundup we’ll find out what a casement window is and all the pros and cons of these windows. Let’s begin!
What Is A Casement Window?
Casement windows are designed with hinges on their sides, allowing them to open outward to either the left or right in an easy, efficient way. They are designed to open and close easily with a fold-down handle, making them easy-to-open windows for both children and adults. Kitchens, bathrooms, sitting rooms, and sunrooms are well-served by a casement window since the opening and closing is easy, the ventilation is optimal, and casement windows offer such a good, unobstructed outside view.
What Are Casement Window Pros?
Casement windows do an amazing job of sealing out the outside weather when they’re closed, helping maintain your home’s indoor temperatures. They can be fastened securely to weather stripping, keeping outside air from getting in. This helps increase your home’s energy efficiency.
Casement windows offer some of the best ventilation of any window type on the market today. They open outward, allowing them to catch the breeze more easily than many other window types, and they can be 100 percent open rather than only partially ajar.
Casement windows are an excellent choice for any homeowner looking for something that’s easy to clean. Since casement windows crank open, they are easy to open and close and don’t have too many nooks and crannies where they keep hidden dirt.

What Are Casement Window Cons?
While casement windows do have their long list of pros, they don’t come without a cost. Casement windows are often more expensive than a lot of other window types.
Since casement windows are built on hinges, rusty or faulty hardware can become an easy target for burglars. While casement windows that have good hardware and remain locked are very challenging to break into, rusty or broken hinges make them easy to open from the outside.
You may want to double-check that you can find the right window size before you get your hopes up about casement windows. There are many size limitations, especially on large casement windows.
