Window Styles
Single/Double Hung
Single hung windows feature a movable bottom sash and a top fixed sash. Double hung windows feature an upper and lower sash that slide vertically past each other in a single frame.
Casement
Casement windows are hinged on either side so that the sash opens outward, to the right or left, in a swinging motion. They are designed to allow more light to enter the window while also providing a larger view.
Awning
Casement windows are usually hinged on the top and crank open for optimum ventilation.
Horizontal Sliding Window
Horizontal windows generally slide to the side for ventilation that extends to the full height of the windows. These windows are composed of one stationary sash and one sash that glides to the right or left. The operating sash slides on rollers and can be removed easily, so you can clean the glass.
Picture/Radius Window
Picture or radius windows are non-operational— perfect for letting in light when ventilation is not necessary or desired. These windows are lovely on their own or mixed between operational windows for optimum light and ventilation.
Bay/Bow Window
Bay and bow windows are connected together to create an architectural feature that adds extra light to a living space or bedroom. Bay windows are typically three separate windows joined together to form one large viewing area. The center window is commonly a picture window, with fully operational double-hung or casement windows on either side.
