Q: Can wind damage casement windows?

• <div><p>High winds can be harmful to casement windows and all types of windows. Because casement windows can swing outward, high winds could slam the window against the side of the house, bend the hinges, or even rip the window off of the hinges. If you hear some strong gusts outside, it&rsquo;s best to pull the casement windows shut until it all blows over. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to enlarge a window?

• <div><p>Most professionals can enlarge a window in five to 10 hours, depending on the window location, the exterior wall material, how easy it is to cut through it, and how much buildback you&rsquo;ll need after the installation is complete. However, more complex projects can take two to three days from start to finish.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace a window sash without replacing the window?

• <div><p>If the existing frame around the window sash is completely structurally sound, it's possible to save money by swapping out the sash for a new one instead of getting a new window. Keep in mind that it will be necessary to find a new sash that perfectly matches your existing window structure. In general, consulting a window pro to help you find the right match is the best way to ensure you're doing this project correctly.</p></div>

Q: What are casement windows?

• <div><p>Casement window types differ from standard windows in that they have a hinge on the side or the top of the window so that it can open inwards or outwards. If your casement windows open upward, they usually have a crank to operate them. Casement windows with side hinges typically operate like a door, opening and closing without a crank. </p></div>

Mad City Windows and Bath installed our new walk-in shower in just two days! It was beautiful and we love it! They had to make space for the shower by converting a closet space into shower space. It all went very well and we recommend Mad City Windows and Baths.
