Casement impact windows swing inwards or outwards to let in air. Most of these windows feature hinges on the sides which help regulate indoor temperature. On hot days, you can open the impact window to allow the cool breeze. On cold days, keep the window shut to prevent heat loss.

The windows close tightly to offer maximum protection against storms and keep your family safe. Casement-style windows also feature sturdy hardware for added security. You can use attractive hardware to make your windows more appealing.
