Casement Windows
Casement windows are often a defining element of residential architecture. These are widely used in both traditional and contemporary design. Casement windows are typical of the Tudor, Arts and Crafts, and Art Deco styles. These windows are hinged on one side and may swing in or out. They can be arranged as a single window or paired, and the frames may be wood or metal (rolled steel). Metal casement windows can be made more energy efficient by caulking around the masonry openings, adding weather stripping, and installing storm windows (interior and/or exterior).
