Casement & Awning Windows

AEROGLASS casement and awning windows are commonly paired with fixed windows to get seamless views while allowing for air ventilation.

Casement windows are hinged on one side and operated by a handle. They open outward like a door, offering unobstructed views and allowing for efficient ventilation. Their single-panel design provides large, uninterrupted expanses of glass, and when closed, they offer excellent insulation against air infiltration.

Frequently Asked Question

What is the difference between casement and awning windows?

Casement and awning windows differ primarily in their hinge placement and direction of opening. Casement windows are hinged on the side and swing outward like a door, providing unobstructed views and efficient airflow when fully opened. On the other hand, awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, resembling an awning. 

Casement windows offer ventilation even during light rain and are often installed in spaces like bathrooms or kitchens where protection from the elements is needed. Ultimately, the choice between casement and awning windows depends on specific functional and aesthetic preferences, with each offering unique benefits for different applications.
