Sliding windows and casement windows each have their unique pros and cons. Sliding windows are generally easier to operate and can offer better ventilation when fully open. They are also a good choice for larger openings or hard-to-reach places. Casement windows, on the other hand, can provide a tighter seal when closed due to their design, which can offer better insulation. They also typically offer unobstructed views and can be opened fully to allow for excellent ventilation.
