Air Master French Casement Window

Unlike a standard double casement, the French Casement's two sashes close against each other rather than against a fixed center stile, so there's nothing in the middle of the view when the window is open. That gives you an uninterrupted opening for light and ventilation. We'll confirm the operating hardware and configuration that works for your opening at the measure.

No. The French Casement is a non-impact aluminum casement and it is not HVHZ approved, so it cannot be permitted in Miami-Dade or Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zones. If you need an impact-rated, code-compliant casement, the Florida-approved choice in this family is the Air Master Full Glass Casement, and we'll point you to it during your free estimate.

Not in HVHZ-regulated openings. Because the French Casement is non-impact and lacks HVHZ approval, it doesn't meet the impact requirements that apply across Miami-Dade and Broward. It's a Caribbean-engineered casement variant, so for code-compliant South Florida installations we recommend the Florida-approved Full Glass Casement instead and explain the difference at quote.

The French Casement uses an aluminum frame, consistent with the rest of Air Master's casement family. The two stile-less sashes are built on that aluminum framing. We confirm available finishes and the full configuration with you when we measure your openings.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the size of the opening, the configuration, the finish, and the condition of the existing frame. As a Caribbean-market specialty casement, availability and lead time also factor in. Armor Pro gives a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your openings so the price reflects your actual project.

A casement is hinged on one side and cranks open outward, swinging away from the frame like a small door. Because the whole sash opens, you get full-aperture airflow, and when it's closed the sash presses tight against the frame for a strong weather seal. They suit spots where you want maximum ventilation or an unobstructed view. We can show you how a casement operates against the openings you're considering during the measure visit.

The Full Glass Casement is the one casement in this family that carries Florida Product Approval (FL #21455), built in aluminum with laminated impact glass for residential and light commercial use. The other casements in the line, including the French Casement, the two insert configurations, and the Old San Juan arch-top, are Caribbean-market styles that do not carry Florida certification. For a code-compliant Florida install we work from the Full Glass Casement; the rest are specialty configurations we handle case by case.

Yes, but only on specific products. Air Master's Series 250 aluminum line — fixed window, horizontal-slider window, sliding glass door, and swinging door — carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and is rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The rest of the residential catalog carries statewide Florida Product Approval, which is accepted across most of Florida but not inside the HVHZ. We confirm the right product for your county before we quote.
