Double-Hung vs. Casement Windows

Double-hung windows slide up and down; casement windows crank outward on a hinge. Each fits different rooms and needs.

Step by step

  • Double-hung: classic look, opens top or bottom, doesn't swing outside.
  • Casement: opens fully for airflow, seals tightly, easy to reach over counters.
  • Many homes use both, depending on the room.
