Parma Window Replacement provides professional casement and awning windows in Parma, OH for residential and commercial properties across southwest Cuyahoga County. The casement is the tool we reach for when a bedroom opening will not make the escape numbers any other way, and it is the reason a great many jobs here avoid a second permit.
A casement swings its entire sash out of the hole. There is no fixed half parked in front of anything. On a good hardware set with an egress hinge arm the sash clears the frame almost completely, so the net clear opening approaches the daylight opening instead of half of it. On the same hole that fails as a double hung, a casement frequently passes.
That matters because the alternative is enlarging the opening, and the City of Parma's own windows, siding, roofing and door permit application states plainly that if the opening size of any window is changed in height, width or size, a residential building permit is also required. Changing the hole moves you from a simple permit to a full one, plus header work in a wall that was framed in 1955 and never meant to be opened up.
Hardware is where casements are won and lost. A multipoint lock draws the sash against the weatherstrip at three or four points instead of one, which is why a well-built casement typically labels at a lower air leakage figure than an equivalent slider. The operator should be a folding crank with a nylon-bushed gear, and the hinge track needs to be stainless in a climate that throws road salt onto a windward wall all winter.
The screen lives on the inside, which surprises people the first time. It also means the screen comes out from indoors without tools, which is exactly what an escape opening requires anyway, so the awkward part of the product and the code requirement happen to agree with each other.
Awnings are the same hinge logic rotated. Because the hinge sits at the head they keep shedding rain while standing open, which makes them right for an above-grade basement wall, a bathroom, or the short wide hole above a kitchen counter. What they are not is an escape opening, because the sash hangs down into the hole.
The genuine drawbacks are worth stating. A casement swinging over a walkway, a driveway apron or a porch is a hazard and a maintenance problem. Wind can catch an open sash. And a very wide casement is heavy on its hinges over time, which is why we cap the width and go to a pair rather than one oversized leaf.
We use casements surgically here. Bedrooms that need the opening back. Kitchen sinks where a lower sash is out of arm's reach across a counter. Any wall where the lowest air leakage rating on the label is worth paying for. What we do not do is convert a whole house to casements because one bedroom needed one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — pocket insert set inside a sound existing jamb, full-frame tear-out back to the rough opening and buck, net clear opening obtained by normal operation from inside, NFRC-labeled U-factor read off the temporary sticker, air-leakage rating of 0.3 cubic feet per minute per square foot, low-expansion window-and-door foam packed into the shim gap — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Parma and nearby communities including Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights.

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 pocket insert set inside a sound existing jamb, full-frame tear-out back to the rough opening and buck, net clear opening obtained by normal operation from inside, NFRC-labeled U-factor read off the temporary sticker, 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 Parma 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 Cuyahoga County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Parma Chooses Parma Window Replacement
- ✓We price the opening before we price the window, because on a street where every house shares a hole size the opening is the only variable that actually decides the job
- ✓Every bedroom gets its net clear opening calculated and written down before anything is ordered, so nobody discovers an escape problem after the old sash has already gone in the dumpster
- ✓We quote the ordinary low-E argon double-pane and say plainly that Ohio's existing-building table asks for U-0.35 and does not regulate solar heat gain in this zone at all
- ✓We will tell you that finishing a basement does not require an egress window under Section 310.6, and we will say so in writing, which regularly costs us the bigger job
