Steel, aluminum and clad-wood options from three makers. Casement windows hinge on the side and swing out like a door. Awning windows hinge at the top and push out from the bottom. Both press into a gasket when closed, so they seal tighter than sliders. Honey Rock works with Jada (steel), Bertrand (aluminum) and Sun (clad wood and vinyl) for these types. Three makers Jada makes steel, Bertrand makes aluminum and Sun makes clad wood and vinyl. Seals when closed The sash presses into the frame, so the window closes tight. Motorized option Jada publishes a motorized awning window for hard-to-reach openings. Narrow frames Bertrand MB-79N CSF lists a 1.39 in fixed frame and a 2.38 in operable sash. ## Who makes it - [![Jada](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/_astro/partner-jada-ink.Cm1WhRu4_Z1XCK0H.webp)](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/our-partners/jada) Outswing, inswing, awning and hopper windows Jada's swing line comes in outswing, inswing, awning, hopper and fixed forms, built on narrow-sightline Secco OS2 thermally broken steel profiles.

The USA line also has an Arch Top Casement. [About Sun Windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/our-partners/sun-windows) ## What are casement and awning windows? A casement window hinges on one side and swings out like a door. An awning window hinges at the top and pushes out from the bottom. Both close by pressing the sash into the frame, which gives a tight seal and a clear view of the glass. See the [casement window](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/casement-window) and [awning window](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/awning-window) definitions. Honey Rock works with three makers for these windows: Jada, Bertrand and Sun. Each uses a different frame material. The right pick depends on the look you want, the sightline you want and where the sash will open. ## How does each type open, and where does it fit? Casements give the biggest opening. Sun describes its casement as a “full-view sash” with crank-out operation that gives “a broad view when closed and maximum ventilation when fully opened.” Awnings give less airflow but more flexibility. Jada says an awning “will only project out approximately 18”” so airflow is good but limited. Jada lists three smart uses: 1. High on a wall as a transom or clerestory window. 2. Low to the floor, below a larger fixed window, so the screen stays out of the view. 3. Wider than a casement, so a large view window can also ventilate. Jada also warns that awnings “do not typically meet egress codes for fire escape” in bedrooms. [Egress](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/egress) means a window big enough to exit through in an emergency. Plan bedrooms with a casement or another egress-sized unit, and check local code. ## Which Jada steel windows come in this category? Jada makes steel windows in Grass Valley, California. Its swing line comes in outswing, inswing, awning, hopper and fixed forms, on narrow-sightline Secco OS2 [thermally broken steel](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/thermally-broken-steel) profiles. Jada publishes no sightline numbers, so ask for drawings. - **Outswing:** the sash opens outside, so it needs clear space outdoors but none inside the room. - **Inswing:** Jada says it suits spots where an outswing sash would hit an exterior deck or stairs. Screens then mount outside, and Jada notes the sash is easier to reach for cleaning. - **Awning:** hinged at the top. Jada offers a motorized version with a chain-drive operator. Windows over 48 inches wide use two synced motors. - **Hopper:** a window hinged at the bottom that opens inward for ventilation. Jada says it typically opens about 8 inches into the building. Read more on the [Jada partner page](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/our-partners/jada) and in the [steel windows and doors guide](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/steel-windows-and-doors). ## What does Bertrand offer in aluminum casements? Bertrand, a manufacturer in Luzino, Poland, builds aluminum casement systems. The MB-79N Casement is an outward-opening system with a [thermal break](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/thermal-break). The MB-79N CSF is its slim version. Bertrand’s published numbers for the CSF: Spec Published value Fixed frame, visible width 1.39 in (35.2 mm) Operable sash, visible width 2.38 in (60.5 mm) Maximum sash weight 176 lb (80 kg) Maximum glazing thickness 2.48 in (63 mm) Bertrand lists the MB-79N Casement at a Uw “from 0.74 W/(m²K).” It also lists air tightness Class 4 and watertightness Class E 1800 for that system. Numbers are in the units Bertrand prints. Compare them against an [NFRC label](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/nfrc-label) when your project needs a rated U-factor. ![A casement window handle with a lake view beyond](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/_astro/detail-window-handle-lake-01.KyW74GA9_Z2rkipo.avif) ## What does Sun offer? Sun builds in Owensboro, Kentucky. It offers casements in three lines: USA / Clad Wood, Patriot / Clad Vinyl and Series 2020 All-Vinyl. The USA line also has an Arch Top Casement, which adds an arched head to a standard casement and comes left hinged, right hinged or fixed. Sun’s USA line pairs an aluminum exterior with a pine interior. Sun publishes no U-factors or maximum sizes on the pages we read. Ask Honey Rock for the Sun size chart and energy data for the line you choose.

Does an inswing sash clear furniture? - **Screens:** inswing and awning screens mount differently. Ask how each one removes for cleaning. - **Egress:** which bedroom openings must meet fire-escape size? - **Glass:** ask for [Low-E](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/low-e-coating) coating, [U-factor](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/u-factor) and [SHGC](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/shgc) numbers on the final glass package. - **Lead time and shipping:** Bertrand ships from Poland and Sun builds to order. Ask for a dated lead time in writing. - **Hardware:** ask for the handle, lock and operator finish before approval. ![Close view of a black steel window grid](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/_astro/steel-window-sightline-macro-01.DeuQSLEp_ZxbD5Q.avif) ## How do locks, screens and cleaning work? Hardware and screens decide how the window feels every day, so ask about them early. - **Locks:** Jada says its steel swing windows lock with proprietary multi-point locking. The lock box “tucks into the glass stop and floats out over the glass,” and turning the handle drives a bolt into the sides of the frame. Sun’s Arch Top Casement uses a single lever that releases multi-point sash latches, plus a folding handle for the crank. - **Operator style:** Sun lists two operator styles for its casements: a Standard/Contoured cover and a Contemporary cover, each with a folding handle. - **Screens:** Jada makes a narrow steel screen frame for awnings, with an offset hinge. On a motorized awning the screen can sit on top of the motor cover. Screens on inswing windows mount outside the building. Sun’s arch top casement has an interior screen channel. - **Cleaning:** an inswing sash opens into the room, which Jada says makes the glass easier to reach. For a casement that swings out, ask how you will reach the outside of the glass on upper floors. ## How do casements compare with other window types? Casements and awnings press the sash into the frame, so they are often the first choice when a tight seal and a clear view matter. Fixed glass has no sash at all, so the frame is slimmer, and many plans combine the two. See [fixed and picture windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/windows/fixed-and-picture-windows). If you want a sash that opens inward with two modes, see [tilt and turn windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/windows/tilt-and-turn-windows). For a classic sash-over-sash face, see [double hung windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/windows/double-hung-windows). ## Next step Tell us the openings, the swing space and the look you want.

An awning hinges at the top and pushes out from the bottom, like a canopy. Casements give a bigger opening. Jada also says awnings are very water tight, and they fit low on a wall or high as a transom. ### Do steel awning windows meet bedroom egress rules? Usually not. Jada says its awning windows do not typically meet egress codes for fire escape because the clear opening is smaller than a casement. Use a casement or another egress-sized window in bedrooms, and confirm the rule with your city. ### Can awning windows be motorized? Yes, from Jada. Its steel awning windows have a motorized option for remote operation. Jada says larger windows, usually over 48 inches wide, use two synced motors, and groups of motors can run through a home automation system. ### Which casement works when the sash would hit a deck? An inswing casement. Jada says inswing windows suit places where an outswing sash would hit an exterior deck or stairs. The trade-off: screens mount outside the building, and the sash needs room inside the house for its swing. ### How heavy can a Bertrand casement sash be? Bertrand lists a maximum sash weight of 176 lb (80 kg) for the MB-79N CSF. Heavy glazing counts toward that limit, so triple glass and large sizes need a check against the published figure before you order. ### Do these windows come with a warranty? It depends on the maker. Sun publishes warranty terms by product line. Bertrand publishes a 5 year warranty only for Synergic. Jada does not publish a product warranty on the pages we read. Ask for the written terms for the exact line you choose. ## Terms on this page - [SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient)](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/shgc) - [Fixed (picture) window](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/fixed-window) - [Thermally broken steel](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/thermally-broken-steel) - [Casement window](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/casement-window) - [Aluminum-clad](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/aluminum-clad) - [Awning window](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/awning-window) - [Thermal break](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/thermal-break) - [NFRC label](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/nfrc-label) - [Sightline](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/sightline) - [U-factor](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/u-factor) ## Sources 1.
