What Is a Casement Window?

A side-hinged window that cranks fully open

A casement window is hinged on the side and swings outward with the turn of a crank handle, opening fully like a door. Because the entire sash moves clear of the frame, a casement gives you the widest possible opening for ventilation in Ontario, and a single unbroken pane of glass for an uninterrupted view. When you close it, the sash draws tight against the weatherstripping on all four sides — which is why casements are among the most airtight windows you can install in a cold climate.

Casement window detail

Why Casement Windows Suit Ontario Homes

Engineered for humid summers and deep-freeze winters

An airtight winter seal

The crank compresses the sash into the frame, leaving no gaps for cold air or drafts.

Maximum fresh air in summer

The sash opens nearly 90°, catching breezes a slider or hung window can't.

A clear, unobstructed view

With no centre rail dividing the glass, you get a full pane of light and an open sightline.

Effortless operation

A single crank opens and closes the window, ideal for hard-to-reach spots.

Engineered For Ontario

Triple-Pane Glass Unit

Every Trust Build casement is available with our triple-pane glass unit — three panes separated by two argon-filled chambers, a dual Low-E coating that reflects winter warmth inward and deflects summer solar heat, and a Super Spacer® warm-edge spacer that cuts the cold bridge at the glass edge where heat loss and condensation begin. Built with Cardinal Glass insulated units, it's engineered to hold comfortable indoor temperatures and trim year-round energy use in Ontario's climate. Double-pane configurations are available for sheltered or interior exposures.

Triple-pane construction

Three panes of glass separated by two insulating chambers.

Argon gas fill

A denser-than-air insulator that slows heat transfer through the glass unit.

Dual Low-E coating

Reflects warmth back into your home in winter and deflects solar heat in summer.

Warm-edge spacer

Reduces the cold bridge at the window's perimeter, where condensation and heat loss begin.

Tested Energy Performance

Where Casement Windows Work Best

A versatile style for nearly every room

Casements are one of the most versatile styles in an Ontario home. Their easy crank operation makes them a favourite over kitchen sinks and countertops, where reaching across to push a window open is impractical. The wide opening makes them excellent for bedrooms and living rooms that benefit from cross-ventilation, and their airtight seal suits any room where winter draft control matters most. They also pair beautifully with fixed or picture windows to create large, light-filled combinations.

Customization

Finished to match your home

Choose from a range of exterior frame colours, add internal or simulated divided-lite grilles in patterns from classic rectangular to prairie-style, and select specialty glass — tinted for light control or frosted for privacy — where you need it. Our team helps you land on a combination that complements your exterior and interior alike.
