Franklin, TN Casement & Awning Windows — Residential & Commercial

Franklin Window Replacement provides professional casement & awning windows in Franklin, TN for residential and commercial properties across Williamson County. A casement swings out on a hinge and pulls shut against a gasket; an awning does the same on a horizontal axis at the head. That geometry solves two specific problems in Franklin houses, and it creates one that people discover after the first hard rain.

The first problem it solves is reach. A crank over a kitchen sink or behind a soaking tub opens with one hand from three feet away, which is not true of a double-hung with a stiff lower sash. On a run of cabinetry, a casement is often the only sash type an average adult will actually open more than once.

The second is net clear opening, which matters when the window is doing life-safety work. A casement gives up almost none of its rough opening when it swings clear, while a double-hung of the same size surrenders roughly half. In a narrow bedroom opening that difference decides whether the room can meet the escape and rescue requirement without cutting the wall open.

The problem it creates is the sash arc. An out-swinging unit occupies the space in front of the wall, so it collides with a screened porch, a deck rail, a downspout, an air conditioning condenser or a boxwood hedge you would rather not prune to the ground. We measure the swing on site before we quote, because a casement that cannot open is a fixed window with extra hardware.

Awnings answer the rain question. Because the hinge sits at the head, an open awning still sheds water, which is why they belong over doors, in stair landings and low on a basement wall where you want air during a Tennessee thunderstorm without a puddle on the floor. Paired above a fixed picture unit they also give you air without breaking up the view.

Hardware is where these windows live or die, and it is the part worth spending on. The operator is a small gearbox turning a steel arm under load, and a cheap one strips. A multipoint lock that throws at two or three points along the stile pulls the sash evenly into the gasket instead of pinching it at the handle. Ask about the operator, not just the frame.

The screen on a casement sits indoors, which catches people out. That means the screen is what you touch and clean, it takes the wear from pets and it is easier to damage than an exterior screen. It also means the crank has to pass through it, so the folding handle is not a gimmick; a fixed handle fouls the blind or the screen frame every time.

Because the residential energy table enforced here dates to 2009 and caps only the U-factor, the casement's real advantage over other sash types is not something the permit will ever measure. A compressed gasket seals better than a sliding one. That shows up in comfort on a windy night, in the air leakage figure on the label, and nowhere on the inspection card.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soft-coat low-E coating on surface two, stainless steel warm-edge spacer, argon-filled dual-lite sealed unit, pultruded fiberglass sash profile, fusion-welded sash corner joinery, polyamide thermal break strut — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Franklin and nearby communities including Brentwood, Spring Hill, Nolensville, Thompson's Station.

What We Handle

Why Franklin Chooses Franklin Window Replacement

• ✓We write the solar heat gain coefficient wall by wall instead of house-wide, because the county code sets no ceiling on it and a west elevation and a shaded south elevation want opposite answers.
• ✓Insert and full-frame approaches are priced side by side on the same estimate, so you can see what keeping your existing frame saves and what it costs you in daylight opening.
• ✓Every sill gets probed with an awl before we recommend an insert, because burying a new unit inside a soft frame hides the problem for about five years and then costs twice.
• ✓Pans go under every opening the framing allows, sloped outward with dammed ends and a raised back edge, because flashing decides whether a mixed-humid wall stays dry long after label numbers stop mattering.
