| We are planning an addition to our home and want to have long windows along the long wall. We understand that the casement operating mechanism might be questionable with a large window and was looking for your opinion on which is best and anything I should be aware of.
We're meeting with the contractor tomorrow to go over the different options/cost. There will be transoms above the windows too to help give us the look we like. I linked to a picture that shows the look we're going for. |

| First question: are you using vinyl, fiberglass or wood? Casements give you more ventilation than either double hungs or awnings (which is another option with a fixed window above. If wood is an option, Marvin has a new casement with a max size of 42" x 92" or 36" x 96" fully operable. Generally double hungs are less expensive than casements as well but performance isn't quite as high if those are considerations. Hope this helps since no one else responded. |
