# Casement window

A casement window is hinged on one side and swings outward like a door, usually with a crank.

A casement opens fully, so you get the whole sash area for airflow. When closed, the sash presses against the frame. That gives a tight seal. Most use a crank, with multi-point latches.

Sun Windows says it offers casement windows in three of its product lines: USA / Clad Wood, Patriot / Clad Vinyl, and Series 2020 All-Vinyl. Casements pair well with [awning windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/awning-window) in the same wall. For tall openings, check screen and cleaning access. See our [casement and awning windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/windows/casement-and-awning-windows) page. Ask about hinge type, since hardware affects how the window feels over time.
