Casement windows were the most common house window before the sash window was introduced, and usually contain leaded glass. These casement windows usually were hinged on the side, and opened inward. The windows were covered by functional exterior shutters, which opened outward.

Casement windows are opened with a crank, lever, or cam handle, which is placed around hand height or at the bottom and serves as a window lock. A crank, stay, or friction hinge is necessary when the window opens outward, to hold the window in position despite wind.
