Double-hung windows are classic and versatile. They have two operable sashes that can be moved up and down, providing good ventilation. They are also easy to clean.
Casement windows open outward like a door, providing excellent ventilation. They are energy-efficient when closed, as the sash presses tightly against the frame.
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward, creating a slight canopy. They are great for ventilation, especially in rainy weather, as the sash acts as a shield.
Slider windows have one or more sashes that slide horizontally. They are easy to operate and provide a contemporary look. However, they may not be as energy-efficient as some other types.
Picture windows are fixed and do not open. They are designed to provide unobstructed views and allow plenty of natural light into a room.
Bay windows extend outward and can be a combination of different window styles. They create a nook inside the home and add architectural interest.
Similar to bay windows, bow windows are curved and often consist of four or more casement windows joined together to create a gentle curve.
Many manufacturers offer energy-efficient windows, often with double or triple glazing, low-emissivity (low-E) coatings, and gas fills. These windows help reduce energy consumption and improve insulation.
