The JELD-WEN W-2500 wood window combines the beauty of wood with affordability and features narrow stiles and rails with a large glass viewing area to bring more of the outdoors into your home. Casement wood windows offer the simplicity of modern design while allowing for maximum ventilation. They are hinged from either side, so the sash opens outward, to the left or right, in a swinging motion much like a door. Casement windows are ideal for installing in areas where reaching the lock is difficult, like above the kitchen sink.
