Casement & Awning Windows in Des Moines, IA
Casement windows hinge at the side, and awning windows hinge at the top. When closed and locked, the sash presses against its seals, which helps on windy winter days on the open plains.

Where they work
Over sinks and counters, high on walls and anywhere a hung window is hard to lift.
Ventilation
An open casement catches the breeze and directs it into the room.
Awnings in rain
Awning windows can stay open in light rain, which suits bathrooms and basements.
Wind and seals
Wind presses a closed casement tighter against its weatherstripping.
Hardware
Cranks, hinges and locks should be kept clean and lubricated.
Egress
Casements can work as bedroom egress windows because the full opening clears.
Screens inside
Screens sit on the inside of the window, so they stay cleaner.
Wide openings
Very wide openings can be split into a pair of casements or a casement with a fixed pane.
