Casement

Dynamic casements range from out-swing North American styles to true in-swing French casements. With complete flexibility of stile and rail dimensions, wood species, hardware, glazing and finishing, Dynamic casements integrate traditional aesthetics with proven engineered performance.

Casements are available with a list of advanced safety and security options, including sound abatement and enhanced UV protection. Over-sized operating casements, historical hinges with finial tips, solid brass cam handles, stainless steel multi-point locks and matching solid wood framed screens are just some of the many design options available.
