When Should You Choose French Casement Windows?

French casement windows are fast becoming a popular window style in the UK. A French casement window can help to open your living room, bedroom, or kitchen up. The window style is not suited to every area in the home though, hallways, stairwells, and toilets may not benefit from French casement windows.

Fully opening French casement windows allows for more natural light and the circulation of air in your home. If you have beautiful views from your living room, opening this room up with French windows may allow you to enjoy your living room more.
