Casement windows are some of the best windows to put above sinks and in kitchens because they can be easily opened, even at a stretch. They’re also great for living rooms or other spaces where you want to bring in sweeping amounts of fresh air, since they can be up to 8 feet tall and create top to bottom air flow.
Casement window sizes will vary depending on the design and series you choose. Our largest casement window is 4-feet wide and 8-feet high (A-Series product line), and custom sizing is also available.
Casement window hardware can be either traditional or contemporary.
A bay window usually consists of three windows in an angular shape at 30, 45, or 90 degrees (a “box bay” has 90-degree angles).

Casement windows can be made of several different materials, each with their own benefits. Nearly all of our casement windows have a wood core for improved durability and insulation that’s covered (clad) in another material for protection against the elements. Aluminum-clad casement windows are extremely durable, virtually maintenance-free, and can have nearly limitless customizations. Vinyl-clad casement windows are low-maintenance and generally cost less. This material is a special blend of reclaimed wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer which is twice as strong as vinyl, won’t fade, flake, blister, or peel,* and helps dark colors stay dark.
