Long and wide windows, such as casement windows, which operate by turning a crank, have gained extreme popularity over the last few years. They are easy to clean, provide excellent natural ventilation, and are customizable, making them ideal for modern homes in hot climates. Such window designs usually open inward and can be angled to steer the natural breeze into the building.

Ease of operation, less maintenance, and energy efficiency are some other strong suits. In addition, casement windows can also be installed with double-pane fiberglass frames with low-E coating for UV protection, as well as regulating temperature.

Pros:

• Easy to operate
• Casement windows open outward completely, offering better ventilation and view
• These fixed-pane windows are energy-efficient and highly secure
• Casement windows are customizable and can be adapted to suit various styles

Cons:

• Casement windows and central air conditioning cannot work together
• These window designs can’t be too large in size and weight
• Can’t use storm windows or screens
• More mechanical problems
