Young Brunette Girl Reveals Her Yellow Dress Near The Window At Home
|
A window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung (also called "awning window"), or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash. In the USA, these are usually opened using a crank, but in parts of Europe they tend to use projection friction stays and espagnolette locking. Formerly, plain hinges were used with a casement stay. Handing applies to casement windows to determine direction of swing; a casement window may be left-handed, right-handed, or double. The casement window is the dominant type now found in the UK and parts of Europe.
• Awning window
An awning window is a casement window that is hung horizontally, hinged on top, so that it swings outward like an awning.
