Weather Shield Windows and Doors has announced the introduction of an all-new Push Out Casement Window as an additional offering in their Premium Series.  Like the other casement windows in this line, the new Push Out Casement uses the Tri-Core™ frame as its foundation, and a standard multi-point locking system, both of which add to the window’s efficiency.  The Push Out Casement operates easily with the turn of a level and an outward push.  Because of the lack of a crank handle, the simple hardware allows for low-profile interior wood stops, giving the window a sleek, contemporary look.

The new Push Out Casement has highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel hinges and locking hardware.  The multi-point locking system secures the sash in multiple locations, ensuring a tight seal and high level of security.
