Exterior window casings are the moldings that go around your window frames. They are installed outside the house, covering the space between the window frame and wall.

A window sash is a part the houses the glass. The sash moves as you open or close the window and varies slightly depending on the type of window. Double hung windows have an upper and lower sash that move up and down, while casement windows have only one sash that operates with a crank handle.

A window frame surrounds and supports the entire window system. It's made up of a head, jamb, and sill. The window sash sits inside of the window frame, while the window casing surrounds the outside perimeter of the frame.
