According to National Family Opinion research, the majority of homeowners use room side window treatments and don't like it when the crank on a casement or awning window interferes with blinds or shades. Casement and awning windows featuring a low-profile integrated crank, such as these, allow shades and blinds to be raised and lowered without any interference from the handle.

The stainless steel operating hardware system on these windows offers improved quality, providing stronger, more durable hinges and hardware, enabling the window to open in a smooth manner. This smooth operation is a result of the tightening of the gears, which provides a more robust operating system. Another related benefit is a significantly reduced amount of "free play" of the sash when it is in the open position.

These particular windows are part of the Architect Series family, featuring ogee-shaped muntin bars permanently bonded to the inside and outside of energy-efficient insulating glass, with a non-glare spacer between panes of glass. Muntins are solid wood on the interior and wood or aluminum-clad on the exterior.
