Inswing Casement Windows

Inswing Casement Windows are hinged at the side and swing to the interior. The inward swing operation provides convenient ventilation and will not interfere with exterior applied louvers or sun control devices. Utilizing a single lever handle operator, an inswing casement hardwood window can be easily opened with one hand and exterior glass cleaned from the interior.

Glazing

Dry Glazing

Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, low maintenance and water resistant.

Wet Glazing

Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus, our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
