Quality, Security, and Assurance
Casement windows operate similar to a swinging door and provide the most ventilation to a space. They also provide the least visual obstructions amongst all operable windows. Since casement windows have similar sight lines to picture windows, many homeowners like to pair the two in one opening. This gives the modern look to a home while allowing ventilation when desired.
Coastal Protection
Many manufactures give an option to upgrade all movable parts to stainless steel for coastal environments. This ensures your windows will withstand the rough environments of the Florida coast.
Egress or Washable
Aside from being left or right-handed, many manufactures also offer the option of making the swing configuration "egress" or "washable". Egress keeps the sash to one side, giving the most room for emergency exits, while washable keeps the sash in the center, making it possible to clean both sides of the glass.
Upgrade to Impact
Go a step further and make your windows Hurricane Impact rated to provide security and strength for years to come. By upgrading to impact, your new windows will be able to protect your home while also saving money on your electric bill.
