Ancestral® Window
Discover the pride of our craftsmen. The one and only. The true original in-swing French casement. You may find look-a-likes but only Belisle makes the original. When customers want this window they ask for a Belisle Ancestral.
The pure essence of Old Europe, offered to you with all the modern features that you deserve. More options, more concepts, more flexibility than any other casement window. The unique cremone bolt system and lift off hinges for a one-step operation to take the sashes off the frame. No central post for maximum opening and air flow, the easiest window to clean!
These are just a few of all the advantages of being the proud owner of a Belisle Ancestral window.
