Wichita Window Replacement provides professional casement, awning and steel sash windows in Wichita, KS for residential and commercial properties across south central Kansas. This is the page that matters most in the older half of Wichita, because the steel casement is what people call about after two other companies have told them nothing can be done with it. There is almost always something that can be done.
What you have is a hot-rolled steel section, usually a Z or T profile, holding single panes bedded in putty behind a sightline of roughly half an inch. The vents project outward on friction stays, a cam handle draws them shut against the frame, and the whole assembly is anchored directly into brick or cast stone with no wood jamb anywhere in the detail.
It fails in a predictable order. Putty dries and falls out, water reaches bare steel at the glazing rebate, and rust expands to several times the volume of the metal it replaced. That expansion cracks the glass, jacks the section out of plane and eventually seizes the stay. The visible rust line at the sightline is the last symptom people notice, not the first thing that went wrong.
The repair path is genuine, and it is not universal. Sound sections can be stripped back, treated for corrosion, primed with a rust-inhibiting coating and re-glazed, and stays and handles for the common profiles are still manufactured. What that buys you is the original sightline and a single pane of glass, which means the thermal performance of the opening does not change at all.
So the real question is what the room is for. A stair landing, a north hall or a garage-side window in College Hill is a strong candidate for repair, and we will say so. A bedroom you sleep in through a Kansas January usually is not, because you are choosing to keep a conducting frame and an uncoated pane in the room where that costs the most.
When we do replace, the two credible options are a thermally broken steel replacement unit or a fiberglass casement. Steel matches the original exactly and costs what you would expect it to. Fiberglass gets close on sightline for considerably less money, and from the sidewalk on most streets nobody reads the difference at all. We will show you both prices and let the room decide rather than the salesperson.
Awning and hopper units share the same hardware family and the same failure mode. The practical advantage of an awning over a kitchen sink is that it sheds rain while standing open, which is why so many mid-century Wichita kitchens still have one, and it is worth deliberately keeping that behaviour when the unit gets replaced.
Mixing repair and replacement is allowed and frequently correct. We regularly quote restoration on the street elevation and new units on the bedroom side of the same house, and the combination usually lands below what replacing everything at once would have cost. Phasing a house over two seasons is a perfectly respectable plan, and we quote it that way on request.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hot-rolled steel casement sections, putty-glazed single lights in steel rebates, projected vents on friction stays, cast stone sills and brick soldier courses, masonry punched openings without jamb depth, half-inch steel sightlines — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Wichita and nearby communities including Derby, Haysville, Park City, Bel Aire.

Materials, equipment and how we do casement, awning and steel sash windows
The difference between casement, awning and steel sash windows that lasts and casement, awning and steel sash windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hot-rolled steel casement sections, putty-glazed single lights in steel rebates, projected vents on friction stays, cast stone sills and brick soldier courses, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Wichita job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in south central Kansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
