I don't know about the specific window, but I replaced my double hung window with a casement and it is so easy to open now.

Might want to consider an awning?

Do what toddinmn suggested - awning window.

Thank you for including a picture! For some reason, I'm leaning more toward a casement vs. the awning but that could be because I'm not that familiar with the awning windows. I will check them out.

Awning will have two locks vs. likely just one on the casement. Anytime a window is taller than it is wide, I tend towards the casement operator.

Make sure the lock is where you can reach it easily. If you need a step stool, it's not practical.

Thabk you - l hadn't thought of that

At just 38", I would go with the casement. You get more ventilation (if that is important) and take advantage of the prevailing winds. Just get the handing correctly.

I recommend the awning at 42" + width which is too wide for a single casement.

Plus 1 on the single casement window.
