Window Styles

Single-Hung Style Windows

A single-hung style window includes a fixed top sash and an operable bottom sash, which can be opened for ventilation. These windows are usually less expensive than other types of windows and are relatively easy to install. Single-hung windows are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens, and provide a classic, traditional look to any home.

Double-Hung Style Windows

A double-hung window has two sashes (movable panels). Both panels can be moved up and down within the frame to allow for ventilation. Most double-hung windows we sell have a tilt feature, which allows the sashes to be tilted inward for easy cleaning. This type of window is common in many homes and is often found in bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens. Double-hung windows are popular due to their classic design, versatility, and ease of use.

Awning Windows

An awning style window is hinged at the top and opens outward, typically operated by a crank or lever mechanism. The design of the window allows for ventilation while keeping the rain out, as the glass panel is angled upwards when open. Awning windows are popular in areas with frequent precipitation or strong winds, as they provide both ventilation and protection from the elements. Awning windows are popular to have in hard-to-reach spaces such as behind the kitchen sink.

Sliding Windows

A sliding window is designed to slide horizontally. These windows typically have two or more panels that slide behind each other to open and close. Sliding windows are commonly found in residential homes and are often used for bedrooms, living rooms, basements, and other areas where good ventilation and easy access to the outdoors is desired. Sliding windows are popular due to their easy operation and cleaning, durability, and energy efficiency.

Casement Windows

A casement style window is a type of window that opens outward, typically with a crank handle. These windows are hinged on one side and swing open like a door, providing maximum ventilation and unobstructed views when fully opened. They can also come in a variety of styles including single, double, triple, or quadruple configurations, depending on the size of the opening and the desired amount of ventilation. Casement windows are known for their energy efficiency, high level of security, and ease of use.

Picture Style Windows

A fixed/picture window does not open or close, and is often used for decorative or aesthetic purposes. Fixed windows do not provide ventilation or air flow, but they do offer natural light and a clear view of the outdoors. They are commonly used in combination with operable windows to provide both function and design in a building or home.

Bay Windows

A bay window protrudes outward from the main walls of a building, creating a bay or alcove inside the room. Bay windows typically consist of a center window and two side windows, although they can also have a curved or angled shape. They are often used to add extra light, space, and architectural interest to a room, and can also offer a panoramic view of the outdoors. Bay windows are commonly found in residential homes, particularly in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.

Bow Windows

Bow windows are a beautiful addition to any home, adding both charm and character to a room. These types of windows protrude outward from the wall, providing a graceful curve that can be used for seating or as a spot for plants and decor. They are typically made up of four to six windows that are joined together at equal angles. Bow windows offer the benefit of increased natural light, making a room feel brighter and more spacious. They are a popular choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.

Egress Windows

An egress window opens inward on a horizontal axis. It is hinged at the bottom and can be easily operated with one hand. Egress windows are ideal for basements or rooms where space is limited as they do not require much outward space for operation. They are also popular in areas that experience high winds since the inward opening prevents the wind from pushing the window open.
