casement features
- 2.81” frame depth allows our casements to mull to our 100 Series Horizontal Sliding and Single Hung Windows, as well as integrate into our 4.5” 600 Series Window Wall.
- Casements hinge on the side and swing out. They are available in widths from 14” to 36” and heights from 14” to 84”.
- Our 700 Series casement has been tested to a “Heavy Commercial” rating of C-HC40 equates to a design pressure of 40 pounds per square foot, the equivalent of a wind speed of 125 MPH.
- To ensure smooth, effortless operation of windows that are often as large as doors, we use butt hinges to mount the sash to the frame and a heavy-duty roto operator to control the degree of opening.
- Casements from 24” to 84” in height are equipped with a concealed multi-point locking system actuated by an attractive low profile lever handle (which is narrow enough that it should never interfere with curtains or blinds.
- The multi-point lock reaches out as much as .5” to pull the sash into the closed position, sealing the sash against the compressed weather-stripping.
- Operating hardware includes a folding crank that is painted to match the finish color of the window frames.
- Arched casements are available in a standing seg configuration (an eyebrow with vertical legs). The minimum radius is 48”.
- 700 Series Casement windows are also available with a raked head, sloped from the hinge side down, as long as the angle does not exceed 20 degrees and a pitch of approximately 4 in 12.
hopper features

- Hoppers hinge at the bottom and swing in. They are available in widths from 14” to 60”, and heights from 14” to 48”, with a max overall size of 15 square feet.

thermal break
For harsher environments we offer “Thermal Break” on both our frame and sash. Thermal break lowers u-factors, limits condensation, increases energy performance, and most of all reduces thermal conductivity. High humidity and extreme hot or cold temperatures are not an issue when choosing a Western 700 Series Casements, Awnings, or Hoppers.
aluminum frame finishes
If you have a color you’d like to use for your window and door products, we can provide it. Whether anodized or painted, we can generally match any color you are after. On top of unlimited color options, Western uses the highest quality finishes available today. For painted products, nearly all of Western’s colors are Kynar finishes which conform to a minimum rating of AAMA-2605 (which is the highest rating available for organic finishes today). For anodized product, our Dark Bronze anodized finishes receive a Class 1 rating which is the highest and most durable rating available for anodized aluminum finishes (our Satin Anodized is Class 2). Dark Bronze anodized is our most popular finish and has the best price point and production lead time. The other colors shown below are examples of Western “designer” colors which are available for a discounted price over a custom color match. These colors are for representation only. Please contact your nearest dealer or dealer representative for a full color sample list of our aluminum frame finishes and designer colors.
aluminum woodgrain finishes
Another popular choice for frame finishes include our aluminum woodgrain finishes which meet AAMA 2604 specifications and come in a great variety of colors and shapes. Below are some examples of choices provided direct from Western Window Systems.

hardware
Operating hardware for 700 Series awnings and casements includes a folding crank handle and a concealed multi-point locking system actuated by an attractive low-profile lever handle.
The hardware finish is always painted to match the color of the window frame. Hopper windows can be operated with an extension pole when equipped with an optional ring pull latch lock.
glass
Western’s 700 Series Casements, Awnings, and Hoppers are designed to accommodate Duo-Pane Insulating glass manufactured with a ½” air gap to maximize the benefit of high performance Low E. They can also be glazed with a variety of glass types, colors, and configurations in thickness from 3/16” to 1” Duo-Pane.
screens
All hinged windows (casements, awnings, and hoppers) are provided with insect screens with frames finished to match the window frame color. Uniquely designed concealed spring clips are used to retain the screen without drilled holes or exposed fasteners. The screens are wired with a charcoal colored vinyl coated fiberglass mesh that is resistant to damage and is almost transparent when viewing through the window. Since 700 Series casements and awnings swing out, the screens are mounted to the interior. Hoppers, which swing in, require them to be mounted to the exterior.
