Double Casement Windows.

We called them vertical casement windows. We also had a few horizontal casement windows in the house.

I'm up here in Maine. Dad was a carpenter/contractor/developer as was his father ... I was never formally trained but worked for dad during HS and college vacations. He always called them casement windows ... and if 2 were placed together opposing each other as a set, he called them double casement windows. In most of the homes I was involved with, we installed double hung windows, very few casements. I have no idea what the preferred name is in 2024, much has changed in nearly 50 years. We didn't have cordless tools, nail guns, laser levels, etc.

WOW - ditto to almost all of the above. Except we were either DC suburbs in MD or eastern panhandle of WV.

"Horror movies", because it takes so darn long to close them.

We called them "crankers" as kids, but that's probably just a localized term from back in my day and location. Not sure of any official name for them.

That’s useful too. Thank you.
