4. Aesthetic Appeal:Long casement windows add a touch of timeless beauty to any home. Their classic design complements a wide range of architectural styles, making them a versatile choice for both traditional and modern homes.
5. Easy Maintenance:Casement windows are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Since they open outward, you can easily access both the interior and exterior surfaces for cleaning.
