The Single or Double-hung window, classic in appearance, offers excellent control of ventilation. You can raise the lower sash or lower the upper one A casement window is hinged on one side and swings out when you turn a crank (some are inward-swinging). Because it opens fully, it affords good ventilation and is easy to clean
A slider. It's made from two separate sashes-one is fixed, the other slides in a track. Half opens for ventilation. A slider is easy to operate and most types are particularly weather-tight. Jalousie or "louvered" windows are excellent for ventilation but poor insulators-they leak a great deal of air.
An awning window hinges at the top and tilts out at the bottom, providing partial ventilation. These are often used above doors or other windows. A hopper window hinges at the bottom. A hopper is normally used for ventilation above a door or window, where protected by eaves
Types of Windows Specialty Windows • Bay • Bow • Picture • Geometric Shapes
A bow window is made from several windows positioned side-by-side to create an arcing form. Similar to a bay window, it provides drama in a room The bay window, made from a central sash and two angled side sashes, is a classic favorite for expanding a room with light, views and drama. Angled side windows are often operable casements or double-hung windows.
Picture Windowis designed to provide a large unobstructed view of the outside. Often times inoperable. May have other types of window surrounding it to provide ventilation.
Geometric Shapes and other geometrically-shaped windows are used as architectural accents.
