How a casement window opens
A casement window is hinged on one side. You turn a crank, and it swings outward the way a door swings open. The whole window moves aside, so no rail sits across the middle of the view.
That clear opening is why a casement window catches a side breeze. The crank makes it easy over a kitchen sink or behind a counter, where a reach is awkward. You stay at the counter and open it all the way.
Where casement windows fit around Wheaton
Casement windows suit rooms where you want air and an open view. Over the kitchen sink is the usual first choice, because the crank is easy to turn at the counter. They also work beside a picture window, where the wide pane holds the view. The casement window next to it opens when you want fresh air.
A bedroom or family room that feels stuffy is another good spot, since the open sash scoops in a passing breeze. Before you pick one, look at what sits outside that wall. A casement window swings out, so it needs open space beyond the frame.

The sink window during a kitchen remodel
If the kitchen is being remodeled, the window over the sink can be replaced at the same time. Bill plans the casement window and the kitchen together at the free in-home design visit. He measures the window and the cabinets in the same trip, so the sink, the counter and the new window all fit.
Bill draws the new kitchen on CAD, and the window is part of that plan from the start. If the old window is drafty or hard to open, this is the easy time to fix it. Our own installers set the new casement window and haul the old one away.
You do not hire a second company for that one window. The rest of the kitchen process, from the free design visit through the crew’s work, is on our kitchen remodeling page.

What to know before a casement window goes in
A casement window gives you a wide opening and a view with no rail through the middle. You can turn the crank without stretching over a counter. That is why people choose it over a sink and in rooms where they want the window open. The breeze comes in from the side because the window swings out of the way.
The swing is also the limit. The window moves outward, so look at the deck, the walkway, the shrubs and any place people walk past that wall. It needs clear space outside to open fully, and the screen sits on the inside. Picture the window fully open before you plant anything tall beneath it.
How we measure and install casement windows
We install vinyl casement windows, and Bill measures every one at your house on a free in-home visit. He gives you itemized prices on the spot, with each window priced separately. The prices are good for one year, so you can decide on your own time.
Our own installers put the new windows in and haul the old windows away. One window typically takes an hour or two. Most whole-house jobs take a day or two, and the time follows how many windows you are replacing.
The work covers Wheaton and all of DuPage County, plus Aurora, Bartlett, Geneva and St. Charles. If you want to talk it over in person first, the showroom is at 129 N Hale St in downtown Wheaton. Hours and the phone number are on our contact page.
Other window styles we install
A casement window is one style we install. Garden windows, double-hung windows, sliding windows, picture windows and bay and bow windows are the others. Bill measures every one of them at your house. The window replacement page explains the visit and the install.
Casement window questions
How does a casement window open and close?
You open it with a crank. The window is hinged on one side and swings outward like a door, so the whole thing moves aside. You close it by turning the crank until it sits back in the frame. When it is open, no rail crosses the middle, so the view and the breeze stay clear.
Is a casement window a good fit over a kitchen sink?
A casement window fits well over a kitchen sink, because the crank opens it while you stand at the counter. You do not lean across the basin to push the window, and the same reach helps behind a counter. The window swings outward, so leave clear space outside, with no deck, walkway or shrub in the way.
How is a casement window different from a double-hung window?
A double-hung window slides up and down, and a rail crosses the middle of the view. A casement window cranks outward on a side hinge, so the opening stays clear with no rail through it. The crank is easier over a sink. A double-hung does not swing outside, which matters when a walkway or shrubs sit tight to the wall.

One casement window typically takes an hour or two. Our own installers remove the old window, haul it away and set the new casement window in the opening.
