Decorative Treatments for Casement Windows
Take into account how casement windows work before deciding on suitable treatments for them. A casement window opens with a hinge fitted to one side. It can open in or out. These windows also can be arranged so that two window panels open like French-style casement windows. Think about how the window's latch and arm or crank will be accessed to open the window after the treatment is fitted. Does this Spark an idea?

Swing Rod
-
A swing rod allows a drape or blind to move with a casement window while it opens. The rod is fitted to the window's hinged side and moves with the window. Blinds or drapes may be hanged from these rods, which also are referred to as portieres. A swing rod can be used for inward and outward opening casement windows.
Blinds
-
Blinds may be fitted to individual casements or across a bay of windows. Blinds also can be hanged in a fixed position when covering casement windows that open out. Vertical blinds also can be fitted to tall casement windows and moved to one side when the window is opened.

Between-Glass Treatments
-
Double-glazed casement windows can have a blind or panel fitted between the glass panes. This removes the need to have the blinds or panels cleaned. They also are an option when replacing casement windows or having a home built. These enclosed window treatments also are safe in a home with small children because they do not have hanging cords or fittings.
Valance
-
Valances provide a decorative covering that hides the track rod or pole suspending drapes or blinds. However, there must be sufficient space for the valance to be cleared when it is fit to a casement window that opens inward.
