Crank-Operated Styles
Casement and Awning Windows in Tyler, TX
Casement and awning windows use hinged sashes and crank hardware to create controlled ventilation and broad glass area. Their compression-style closing can provide a secure perimeter seal.
Casement & Awning Windows
Casement windows open like a door
A casement sash is hinged at the side and swings outward. The open sash can catch a breeze and direct air into the room, making the style useful where strong ventilation is desired. Because the operating hardware is near the bottom of the frame, casements can also be convenient above counters or other locations where lifting a sash would be difficult.

Casement & Awning Windows
Awning windows protect the opening from light rain
An awning sash is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom. The glass creates a small canopy over the opening, allowing ventilation during light rain when conditions permit. Awning windows are often used in bathrooms, above fixed picture windows, or as a horizontal accent.

Casement & Awning Windows
Clear views with fewer meeting rails
A single casement or awning window can provide a large uninterrupted glass area. Multiple units can be grouped for wider walls, or paired with fixed windows to combine ventilation and views. The frame proportions, hardware, screens, and opening direction should be planned around furniture, walkways, patios, and landscaping.

Hardware and installation deserve attention
Crank mechanisms, hinges, locks, sash alignment, and weatherstripping all work together. The window must be installed square so the sash closes without binding and the locking points engage evenly. Exterior clearance is also reviewed before the style is selected.
