Awning and Casement Windows, Piedmont Triad, NC

Awning and casement windows have different applications, and each has its own unique advantages.

As you browse the selection of windows available on the market today, you may find information about two styles: awning and casement windows. They share some similarities but are two unique styles of window that are well-suited to different spaces and designs. Awning windows get their name from their functionality, which resembles an awning providing shade over a patio or other outdoor area. They swing outward from the bottom and have a hinge at the top, allowing it to stay open regardless of weather conditions. Rainfall won’t enter the space, even if the window is left open.

By contrast, a casement window has its hinge on one side of the window instead of at the top or bottom. It can typically be opened with a crank or lever, which allows air to flow through the space. When you want to maintain privacy, this style of window can be covered with curtains, blinds, or shutters. And if you have a window in your home that’s difficult to reach, using this style can make it more functional. For example, a traditional sliding window placed over a kitchen sink is difficult to operate, but a lever or crank simplifies the process and improves its functionality.
