West Jordan Window Replacement provides professional casement and awning windows in West Jordan, UT for residential and commercial properties across southwest Salt Lake County. A casement swings out on a hinge and a crank, so when it is fully open the hole is genuinely open. That single fact makes it the workhorse of basement bedroom compliance here, and it is why we specify it where other styles fall short.
Compare it against the alternatives in one identical hole. A slider gives you half the width. A hung gives you half the height. A casement gives you nearly everything inside the frame, because the sash gets out of the way rather than parking itself over the opening. On a marginal below-grade window that difference is the whole argument.
It seals better too, and for a mechanical reason rather than a marketing one. Cranking a casement shut pulls the sash against a continuous compression gasket, the way a fridge door closes. Sliding windows seal by brushing past a fin and always will leak more at the same price point. In a windy winter you feel it. Compression sealing is also why a casement rattles less on a windy night, which people notice more than they expect to.
Now the part we tell people before they buy: awning windows are not casements and they are not an escape opening. An awning hinges at the top and the open sash hangs down across the very hole you would climb through. We have never seen one meet an escape requirement in a standard residential opening and we do not specify them in sleeping rooms.
Awnings are excellent at what they are for. Over a kitchen sink, high on a bathroom wall, or in a stair landing where you want ventilation during a summer thunderstorm without water coming in, the sash acts as its own little roof. Pair one with a fixed lite and you get a handsome, weather-tight assembly.
Casement hardware is the part that fails, and it is worth understanding. The operator is a gearbox and it wears. Folding handles catch on blinds. Multipoint locks drift out of adjustment if the sash sags. All three are serviceable parts, and a twenty-year-old casement with a dead operator does not need replacing, it needs a new operator.
On a casement the screen lives inside the room, which surprises people. That is a consequence of the sash swinging outward, and it has a real implication for escape openings: an interior screen must come out from inside the room without tools or special knowledge, and we set them so they do. A screen needing two hands and a twist is not a screen for an escape window.
There is one place we steer people away. A casement swinging over a narrow side yard, a walkway or a deck stair becomes a head injury waiting to happen. Where clearance is tight we will fit a hung or a slider and find the escape opening somewhere else on that wall. There is nearly always a wall where a casement can swing without hitting anything.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — net clear opening measured clear of the sash, crank-operated casement with a folding handle, low expansion perimeter foam at the shim points, warm-edge insulating spacer with argon fill, heat-welded vinyl corner joints, pultruded fiberglass frame profile — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Jordan and nearby communities including West Valley City, Taylorsville, South Jordan, Riverton.

Materials, equipment and how we do casement and awning windows
The difference between casement and awning windows that lasts and casement and awning windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with net clear opening measured clear of the sash, crank-operated casement with a folding handle, low expansion perimeter foam at the shim points, warm-edge insulating spacer with argon fill, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every West Jordan job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in southwest Salt Lake County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Jordan Chooses West Jordan Window Replacement
- ✓We measure net clear opening before we price a single unit. The number that matters in a sleeping room is what stays open after the sash swings, and it is never the number printed on the box.
- ✓Concrete cutting, lintels and well work are separate lines on our estimates. Nobody should discover that a foundation cut was folded into a per-window price after the saw is already running.
- ✓We price glass-only repair against full replacement on the same page. A fogged sealed unit in a sound frame is a glass job, and pretending otherwise is how people end up buying eleven windows to fix two.
- ✓Operating style is chosen by geometry first and taste second. Casement, slider, awning and double hung give four different clear openings out of one identical hole, and we show you all four before you choose.
