Casement Windows in Central New York | New York Sash

Planning Your Casement Windows Project

When a casement closes, its sash is drawn against weather seals around the frame. Hardware placement, hinge direction, nearby walkways, and exterior obstructions all matter, so each opening should be planned rather than simply swapping styles. New York Sash custom measures the opening and reviews glass, screen, grid, and finish options before ordering.

Casement Windows Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which direction should a casement window open? A: The hinge side is selected around airflow, room layout, exterior clearance, and the visual relationship with nearby windows. Paired casements can open away from one another. Q: Can a casement window go over a kitchen sink? A: Yes. Crank operation makes casements a common choice where reaching the bottom of a window is difficult. Q: Do casement windows include screens? A: Screens are mounted on the room side because the sash opens outward. Available screen details are confirmed with the selected window configuration. Q: Can I replace a double-hung window with a casement? A: Often yes, if the opening and exterior clearance are suitable. Measurements and egress needs should be checked before the new style is ordered. Q: Will the open sash interfere with a deck or walkway? A: It can. That is why the estimator checks traffic paths, shrubs, roof lines, and other obstructions; another operating style may be better in a tight location.
