Window Types:
Single-hung window
Consider the style that started all of it if you’re shopping for new windows. Single-hung windows have endured over time due to their simplicity and practicality. The classic functions of our window products make them easy to operate, easy to maintain and easy on your budget.
Double-Hung Windows
Most American homes feature double-hung windows. There are two operable sashes within this window, which move vertically inside the frame. Air can be circulated and ventilated more easily by raising or lowering them from the bottom or top. Also, you can easily clean the outside of double-hung windows by tilting the sashes out.
Casement Windows
These types of windows open outward with a hinged sash. The crank is used to open and close the windows. The entire panel of a hinged casement window opens for ventilation. Window panels often act as wind catchers, directing passing breezes into the home based on the placement of the window.
Sliding Windows
Slide windows open horizontally with a single panel, providing a significant amount of natural light and fresh air into a home. Their versatility, durability, and scalability have kept them popular for years. For areas that are hard to reach, this style is perfect. Large openings are particularly suited to this design.
Awning Windows
An awning window opens outward using a crank. As a functional alternative to a transom window, they are ideal for areas that are difficult to reach, including above a kitchen sink. If you are considering an awning window for a room that requires privacy (such as a bedroom or bathroom) while you still desire access to natural light, you are making a wise choice.
Bay Windows
A bay window is a set of three angled panels that protrudes from a home’s exterior. Instead of extending from a wall in an angular manner, bow windows follow a curved path. Exterior walls with a width of 40 inches or greater work best for bay windows. A window seat or reading nook could be incorporated into a window seat that extends further from the building and provides extra interior space. A bay window captures a significant amount of natural light from diverse directions, which is why homeowners find them appealing.
Bow Windows
Bow windows are rounded roof-mounted casement windows arranged in a curved line along the exterior of a home. A bow window looks similar to a bay window, except that it is curved, semi-circular in shape, instead of being square or rectangular, giving it a classic, elegant and traditional appearance.
Four or five similar-sized windows are usually used for bow windows. The best place for bow windows is on an exterior wall or in a corner with a minimum of 80 inches in size. Bow windows create the impression of a larger, brighter room by extending beyond the exterior walls of a residence.
Custom Windows
Window styles can be tailored to fit a specific customer’s needs. Almost any size, shape, or design can be constructed for these windows based on your specifications. A custom window can be designed in almost any way you desire.
