Casement windows are popular in contemporary buildings, thanks to the wide-ranging benefits they offer. Casements open and close to the hinges powered by a turn crank. Casement windows are one of the windows with the most energy efficiency. When closed, the sash provides an air-tight barrier on the window frame, making it nearly impossible for air to get through. Casement windows often have unobstructed views as the window is made composed of a single sash.
