Two of the most energy-efficient window styles available. Casement windows crank open wide for full ventilation; awning windows hinge at the top so you can let in fresh air even in the rain.
Both styles offer exceptional sealing, ventilation, and energy efficiency. The difference is how they open — choose the one that fits your home's needs.
Hinged on one side, casement windows swing outward like a door using a smooth crank mechanism. When closed, the sash presses tightly against the frame for an exceptional weather seal.
Hinged at the top, awning windows tilt outward at the bottom — the glass acts as a protective awning, shedding rain away while letting fresh air flow in underneath.
Whether you choose casement, awning, or a combination of both, every window includes our premium features and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Both styles press firmly against the frame when closed, creating an airtight seal that outperforms sliding windows in energy efficiency and sound reduction.
Up to 55% more energy-efficient in summer and 45% in winter. Blocks 83% of UV rays to protect furniture and flooring from fading.
Low-profile handles and locks engage securely at multiple points along the frame for enhanced security and a tight weather-resistant closure.
Micro-fine mesh screens included with every operable window. More light, more air, fewer insects — and easy removal from inside for cleaning.
Will not rot, corrode, warp, or require painting. Color is solid throughout — not painted on — so it won't peel or fade over time.
Choose from colonial, craftsman, single prairie, and double prairie grid patterns in standard or contoured profile styles.
Select matching or contrasting interior and exterior colors — all engineered to last a lifetime without fading, peeling, or cracking.
