CASEMENT REPLACEMENT
With a modern and sleek design, casement windows are a versatile window that can fit many homes and architectural styles. Introduced in the 1940’s casement windows come in variety of configurations including single casement, double casement, and casement-picture-casement. Many homes need more daylight and casement windows allow for open viewing through the entire operating sash when closed. When open, casement windows are designed to catch a breeze and direct wind into the home.
Our most air-tight, energy-efficient window, casement windows are commonly installed in areas that require ventilation, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or bedrooms. They are also common in living and family room spaces in combination form because of the added viewing capacity. All of our casement windows operate with an easy to reach single lever designed to securely lock the window at multiple points for a weather-tight seal.

CASEMENT WINDOW BENEFITS
A WHOLE NEW KIND OF WINDOW WITH GREAT PLAINS
Variety of style options – Casement windows offer a number of distinct design features such as crank-out, French, and push-out. They can be customized for precise size and color offering, and they look sleek and attractive.
Efficient window – Casement windows are the second most energy-efficient, after fixed picture windows. The window sash presses against the frame weatherstripping, creating an airtight seal like a dishwasher. This helps prevent air leakage and dust infiltration.
Easy to open and close – Because Andersen casement windows have a single lever to lock and unlock, they are easy to open and close.
Excellent ventilation – Andersen casement windows open all the way outward. Unlike double-hung windows, which don’t offer full window venting, casement windows are wide open from top to bottom and side-to-side providing excellent crosswind ventilation and light.
