Casement Window Glass Repair
Casement windows are hinged on one side and swing outward using a crank mechanism. They provide excellent ventilation because the entire window opening is available for airflow, unlike sliding or hung windows where only half the opening is usable. Casement windows also offer superior energy efficiency because the sash presses tightly against the frame when closed, creating a strong seal against air infiltration. They are popular throughout the DMV area in kitchens, bathrooms, and above countertops.
How It Works
Casement Window Operation
Casement windows are hinged at the left or right side of the frame and open outward on a single or dual arm hinge system. A crank mechanism, typically operated by a small handle inside the house, rotates a worm gear that pushes the sash open or pulls it closed. When fully closed and locked, the sash compresses against weatherstripping on all four sides, creating one of the tightest seals of any window type.
