Inswing French Casement
Windows
An inswing French casement window is a type of window that features two hinged sashes that swing inward, similar to French doors. Unlike the more common outswing casement windows, the inswing design allows the sashes to open into the interior of the room, making it ideal for situations where outdoor clearance is limited or where the aesthetic preference leans towards a more European style. Their distinctive heritage flair comes to life in Lepage Millwork’s window.
The origins of the French casement window date back to the Renaissance period in France, where large, unobstructed window openings became popular in the architectural designs of grand estates and chateaux. This style emphasized symmetry, elegance, and the use of natural light, which was facilitated by the dual opening sashes that provided an uninterrupted view and maximum ventilation.
The window operates on a butt hinge mechanism, and often includes a friction stay or restrictor arm to control the window’s swing and surface-mounted dual point locking hardware. Inswing French casement windows are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, providing ease of cleaning and emergency egress in your home.
