The Style

What Casement and Awning Windows Are

Both crank open on a hinge instead of sliding. A casement hinges at the side and swings out like a door. An awning hinges at the top and tilts out from the bottom. The mechanism is the whole point: as you crank the sash shut, it pulls tight into the frame and compresses the weatherstripping. A sliding window simply cannot do that.

The tightest seal of any operable window. Compression sealing beats a brush seal, every single time.
The full opening, not half of it. The whole sash swings clear, so you get all of the airflow the opening can give.
Awnings shed rain. Hinged at the top, they can stay cracked open through a monsoon downpour without letting water in.
Perfect over sinks and counters. A crank handle is far easier to reach than a sash you would have to lean across and lift.
Specs & Options

Specified for Arizona, Not the Catalog

A crank-out window lives or dies by its hardware. Ours is rated for heat cycling and for monsoon wind loads.

Desert Glass Packages

Low-E coatings with a low SHGC, argon fill, and warm-edge spacers. Because these seal so tightly, the glass becomes the dominant variable in how the room actually feels.

Cranks & Multi-Point Locks

Folding crank handles that clear blinds and shades, and multi-point locking hardware that draws the sash tight at several points along the frame rather than just one.

Smart Placement

Casements for tall openings and rooms that need real airflow. Awnings for wide, short openings, high on a wall, or above a door where you want ventilation and privacy at once.

Quick Answers

Casement & Awning FAQs

Casement or awning? Which one do I actually want?

Casement for tall openings and rooms that need genuine airflow. Awning for wide, short openings: above a door, high on a wall, or anywhere you want ventilation and privacy in the same window.

Do they really seal better than sliders?

Yes, and it is measurable. A crank pulls the sash into the frame and compresses the weatherstripping. A slider glides past a brush seal. That is precisely why casements consistently test tightest for air infiltration.

Won't a swinging sash get in the way?

It can, which is why placement is a real conversation. We do not put casements over walkways, patios, or anywhere a person could walk into an open sash. We work that out with you at the measure, before anything is ordered.

How do they hold up in monsoon wind?

Very well when latched, because the multi-point hardware pulls the sash tight at several points along the frame. Just do not leave a casement cranked wide open when a haboob is rolling in off the desert.
