A casement window is a window that has a hinge on one side, allowing it to crack open in an outwardly direction for ventilation. It is different from a sliding window, in that it is attached to the window frame and swings open. A definition of the word casement is a window sash that opens in hinges at the side.
Casement and crank windows are actually one in the same. Casement windows open when the handle mechanism is cranked. These windows open fully, allowing for both a clear, unobstructed view of the outside and maximum ventilation.
