inward-opening side-hung casement windows
To be precise.
"Frappe" in this context is surely findable with a ProZ.com Term Search for it has been asked several times already. It means the windows are hinged, not sliding or the "à l'anglaise" guillotine type, for instance.
Inward-opening windows could also be top-hung or bottom-hung, hence the need to specify.

inward opening lights
I believe a 'light' is the correct technical term here.

With my GB pedant hat on, I have to say I'd really prefer it with a hyphen: inward-opening

Thanks, J, but I think Bourth has come up with the definitive answer.

windows opening inside
"à l'anglaise" is the opposite - opening outside

: Though surely 'inwards'? But what about the 'frappes'?
