Casement windows are barely noticeable in Germany. They are commonly encountered in the UK as casement windows have the trait of opening outwards. Thanks to this technology, the window sash is pressed even closer to the frame under the pressure of wind in changeable British weather and seals almost hermetically. This prevents the window from being opened due to stormy weather. In Germany, casement windows can be found in the North Sea and Baltic Sea areas eventually.
Outward opening windows: "Side-Hung" & "Top-Hung" - directions of rotation
The opening style can change most window functions, so it is important to choose the right opening type when planning your building project. Think carefully about which type of window best suits your situation. While the classic window that opens outward was made of wood, today PVC windows and aluminum windows are most commonly used. The wooden material, which requires maintenance, offers too much exposure to weather influences to the elements.
Outward opening "side-hung" windows - rotating windows: This is a popular traditional window type in the UK. It is side-hung as most European windows and the handle is in the center of the window. Special fitting technology allows only a certain opening angle to the outside.
Outward opening "top-hung" windows - horizontal tilt windows: The window sash can only be opened outward to a certain angle and can also be cleaned from the outside only. Since the sash opens outward and is hung at the top, it has no sash in the room to interfere with curtains or blinds. For greenhouses in particular, a tilt or fold outward feature is popular so as not to further restrict the already limited space for plants.
