Vinyl casement windows, explained.

Vinyl casement windows from Puro Windows are NFRC-certified PuroCima vinyl units built to your sizes and supplied factory-direct to builders across Washington, Oregon and California. Best for kitchens, over sinks, and anywhere you want maximum airflow and a tight seal.

The PuroCima casement is hinged at the side and opens outward. A handle lock pulls the sash tight against its weatherstrips when it closes, and a limiter stops it swinging too far when open. It opens almost the full width of the sash for ventilation.

Casements are easy to operate over a counter or sink, and pairs make a strong twin casement feature on modern elevations. There are 19 certified glass packages that qualify for Washington, with U-factors from 0.27 to 0.30.

Every order uses a certified glass package that meets the Washington State Energy Code (U-factor 0.30 or lower). Factory-direct, builders typically save around 35% on the window package; plan on three and a half to four months from order to site.

Casements close by pressing the sash onto its weatherstrip, which gives a tighter seal than a sliding sash. Both lines are NFRC certified and meet Washington code with the right glass package.

Between 0.27 and 0.30, depending on the certified glass package. For each order we spec a package that meets the Washington State Energy Code requirement of 0.30 or lower.

Yes. It is NFRC certified and AAMA compliant, and every unit carries its NFRC label for your inspector.

Every unit is built to your sizes. Finishes are white, black and two-tone (black exterior, white interior), with custom colors on request.

About ten weeks of production plus four to five weeks of ocean freight: roughly three and a half to four months from a locked order to your job site.

Pricing depends on sizes, glass and quantity. Because we supply factory-direct, builders typically save around 35% on the window package compared with a local distributor. Send your schedule for a quote.
