Because Casements, Awnings and Hopper windows are in the same family of products, they also share the same design options. Our standard profiles are manufactured using the European design. We also offer a typical American design option.

Both the European and the American are available in two stile and rail configurations. Standard stile and rail dimensions for a traditional appearance. Narrow stile and rail profile for more glass to wood ratio and a modern/contemporary appearance.

European designed casements have adopted the standard 2-1/4″ sash with multiple steps of weatherstrip used on Tilt and Turn windows popularized in Europe. This design offers a superior weather barrier and better thermal protection against the heat and cold. American designed casement windows utilize a typical 1-3/4″ sash as illustrated.
3. Then choose the window and door units:
Your units can be stacked and mulled with other awning, casement, stationary windows and doors in numerous configurations.

Roto gears and operating arms are used to close and lock the sash tightly to the frame. Weather stripping helps to prevent air infiltration. Dual arm hinges allow crank-out casements to be opened 90-degrees for cleaning from the interior. Multi-point locks are standard on most units, offering convenience and security. Crank-out casements screens are offered with the option of extruded frames, wood frames or retractable/concealed units. All screens are mounted to the interior and include BetterVue screen mesh.
