I can not find out which way casement windows should hinge. I am having replacement windows installed and want to do it right. I have a bay window with 3 windows being installed. The sequence of windows is : Casement Left side #1 (bay) , Picture window #2, Case window right #3 (bay).
Should Casement window #1 (left) be hindged on the right side? Or on the left side?
I will mirror this answer for casement window #3 (right side).
Casement windows do not have a means to open the window by moving the bottom part of the window straight up. Casement windows open by the means of a hinge and they swing open to the inside or outside depending on the type of window. Casement windows can swing open from the top or the side also.
The purpose of a casement window crank handle is to open and close the window by turning the handle. When the handle is turned, it activates a mechanism that pushes the window open or pulls it closed. This allows for easy and controlled operation of the casement window.
Actually, Casement windows DO open. Casement windows are really any window that is hinged. Some Casement windows are designed to open to the outside while others are designed to open inwards. Jim

To properly operate a casement window crank, turn the handle clockwise to open the window and counterclockwise to close it. Make sure to fully open or close the window to ensure a proper seal.
To lock a casement window open, first, fully open the window to your desired position. Then, locate the window's locking mechanism, which may be a small lever or a rod. Engage the lock by pushing or turning it, securing the window in place. If your window has a removable pin or bracket, insert it in the designated hole to prevent the window from closing.
Casement windows open in our out, just like a door. They do not move up and down (those are single- or double-hung windows). See http://www.areliableremodeler.com/images/window-types.gif for examples. Any window that opens can have a lock.
To remove a casement window, first unlock and open the window fully. Next, locate and remove the screws or hardware securing the window to the frame. Carefully lift the window out of the frame and set it aside. Finally, clean and prepare the frame for a new window installation if needed.
Casement window stays come in various types such as telescopic, friction, and quadrant stays. They contribute to the functionality of casement windows by providing support and allowing the window to stay open at different angles. Additionally, they enhance the aesthetics by adding a decorative element to the window while also ensuring smooth operation.
A casement window is one with a frame attached to the building the window revel and inside teh frame is a secondary frame which has a hinge on the side to open the window in or out. Some are double which means to windows one hinged on the left frame the otehr on the righ frame the these open indelendantly of each other but come together when closed in the middle to stop access and draft. A sash window is one the slides up and down with a counter-weight in teh frame to hold the open window where you require it.
A casement window is attached to its frame by one or more hinges--which can be opened in a variety of ways--for instance, using a crank or releasing a latch. The opening motion is outward.They swing outward on a pivot ( hinge ) by use of a hand-crank.
Depending upon the specific casement window the latch is mounted on the inside of the stationary side of the window/window frame. Some are riveted, some are secured by screws, if it is the later then you can remove the screws and loosen the latch (there may be several layers of paint, scratch away at the paint to see if it is either a screw/bolt head or a rivet.)
