Casement windows

Casement windows open like doors. Like doors, either the left or right side pivoted and the non-hinged side locks securely into place with latches. Unlike a door, the casement window opens not by a knob or handle but by means of some variation of a crank.

bathroom casement bedroom casement open  however you wish Before you rush to judgment and say good builder would foresee this problem consider that reversing one or both casements conflict with another casement. The only true solution then is to have a double-hung or slider window. In which case, you no longer have your casements. Because casements open outward, rain, snow, and more. The top edge particularly is exposed and  easy to rush to judgment and promise religiously close your casement windows prior to the rain, think again.
