What's the difference between a casement window and a top-hung casement window?

Everyone knows there are many different window styles available today, but when it comes to determining which one is the safest and most energy-efficient, opinions become unclear. Typically, we recommend opting for top-hung casement windows—though they may come at a slightly higher cost, they offer the best possible balance of safety and airtightness.
Difference between casement windows and top-hung casement windows:
1. Casement windows are divided into inward-opening and outward-opening types, while the combined casement-and-tilt design can only be an inward-opening window with a tilt feature. Imagine this: if you leave your home and forget to close either an inward-opening or an outward-opening window, the level of security in your space would significantly decrease. However, a casement-and-tilt window eliminates this safety concern—since it can be kept in the tilt position for regular ventilation, preventing both people and rainwater from entering the room.
2. If you have children at home, this design helps prevent them from bumping their heads and reduces potential safety hazards. With conventional windows that open outward, kids can easily accidentally hit their heads—however, with top-hung windows, which open from the top, you never have to worry about your child bumping into the frame.
3. Avoid having wind directly blow on your body: When an upper-hung window is opened, the wind is naturally split to the left and right by the window itself, significantly reducing the force of cold air while still allowing for proper ventilation—benefiting your health even more.
4. Avoiding Safety Hazards: The multi-point locking design effectively prevents burglars from entering through the window when it’s open, making it especially suitable for residents on lower floors.
5. Avoid letting rain in through open windows: On rainy days, if we forget to close the windows, rain can easily seep indoors—but with top-hung windows, this issue is successfully prevented.
6. Stylish and space-saving: Top-hung windows have now become a trendy choice, with many newly developed upscale residential communities already incorporating this feature into their window designs. When opened, top-hung windows offer a more elegant appearance compared to traditional casement windows, while also maximizing the efficient use of indoor space.
