Casement windows open outward with a crank mechanism, providing excellent ventilation and unobstructed views.
Their tight seal when closed ensures energy efficiency, weather resistance, and added security, making them an ideal choice for both comfort and protection.
Casement windows come in various configurations to suit different architectural styles and functional requirements. Here are some of the most common types
The most basic type, featuring a single sash that opens outward, offering simple functionality and excellent ventilation.
These windows have two sashes that open from the center, providing a wider opening and a stylish look similar to French doors.
Instead of using a crank, these windows are manually pushed open and held in place with a stay, offering a smooth and easy operation.
This combination window features a fixed center pane, flanked by operational casement windows, allowing for wide views and easy ventilation.
Casement windows offer a range of advantages that make them a popular choice among homeowners and architects alike. Here are some of the key benefits:
Casement windows open fully, allowing them to capture and direct fresh breezes into the home for improved airflow and comfort.
This makes them ideal for rooms that require maximum ventilation.
When closed, casement windows form a tight seal that reduces air leakage and prevents drafts.
This helps to maintain indoor temperatures and boosts insulation, lowering energy costs.
Casement windows have no muntins or bars across the glass, offering clear, wide open views of the outdoors.
This design maximizes natural light and enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The secure locking mechanism of casement windows makes them more resistant to forced entry compared to other window styles.
This added security provides peace of mind, especially in areas prone to break-ins.
Posted on linda kellerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our windows needed a little attention a year after they were installed. Leo came right over and took care of it. Thanks so much!!!Posted on dan ronaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best in the business. So glad I hired them for my house. Thanks to the whole teamPosted on Niral MakadiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had impact windows installed throughout our home by BigFoot Constructions, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Alex was great to work with. He came out right away for the initial visit, went room by room, and took his time making sure every measurement was accurate instead of rushing through it. About a week later, he sent over the estimate and walked us through all the different options – doors, glass types, and specs – making sure we really understood what we were choosing, even though everything was impact-rated. It never felt like a sales pitch, more like someone helping us make the right decision for our home. Once we placed the order, the whole team came back out – Alex, Brady, and Leo. They introduced themselves, re-measured every opening very precisely, and took the time to answer all of our questions. They also brought up things you don’t even think about until you’re in the middle of a project like this, like which way you want certain windows or doors to open, how that affects furniture placement, airflow, and everyday use. Their suggestions were logical and very practical, and they definitely improved the final layout. The windows themselves took several weeks to be manufactured, which we expected, and the city permits/inspections added a bit more time. Throughout that whole period, they kept in touch, so we never had to chase anyone down or guess what was happening next. Once everything was ready, Leo, the project manager, reached out to schedule installation – and he is truly amazing at what he does. He’s organized, detail-oriented, and kept us informed at every step so we always knew what was happening next. His installation crew came out for three days in a row, working 8–9 hours each day to handle our 18 openings. I’ve seen other companies rush through a job like this in a few hours; this team clearly focused on doing it right, not just doing it fast. They were extremely professional, respectful of our home, and their work was very clean. Leo didn’t just show up once and disappear. He constantly checked on the job, inspected every window, and made sure the details were perfect. Even without him standing over their shoulders, the crew’s work was impeccable, but Leo is very particular (in a good way) and made sure everything was 110% before calling it done. The cleanup was also outstanding: the crew picked everything up, swept, vacuumed, and cleaned up after themselves every day. If you left the house and came back after they were done, the only thing you’d notice is the new windows. We also had some decorative panel designs installed on our front door through one of their partner companies. I wasn’t happy with the initial caulking on the panels, so I texted Leo. He immediately contacted the supervisor, and they had someone out the very next morning to re-caulk the entire thing. Now it looks perfect. Leo doesn’t let anything slide and genuinely does everything to the best of his ability without us having to push for it. As for the windows themselves: yes, they’re impact-rated for hurricanes, which is the main reason we did this, but the everyday difference is huge. Compared to our older windows, the house is noticeably quieter, the temperature stays more stable, and you can tell everything is sealed up tight all the way around. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the work and with BigFoot Constructions as a company. They truly handled everything from start to finish – from dealing with the city, permits, to coordinating all three inspections (pre, in-process, and final), to the installation and thorough cleanup. For a project of this size with 18 openings, they made the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible. You can tell their values are about doing things the right way the first time, not just making a quick sale and trying to fix things later. Everyone was professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering impact windows.Posted on Jiyon HanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent! Bigfoot sourced and installed seven exterior doors and a window in our home. They were very professional from the start to finish and follow-ups. Calls were always returned same day, many times immediately. They made several ‘site visits’ to understand the scope of our project to assure there be no suprises for either of us. Bigfoot provided clean and efficient installation. Their installation team of five did a great job. Clean, polite, and ‘walked us through’ the entire install before they began and before they left to assure we were satisfied. Top knotch company. We chose Walnut finish on the Mr Glass swing doors and very tall DWS sliding pocket doors. Our sliders open 24 feet and are so beautiful. Product and installation… We are very happy!
