YOUR WINDOW GUIDE

A Guide to Window Types and Styles for Your Home

Windows do more than just bring natural light into your home—they influence curb appeal, energy efficiency, and ventilation. Whether you're building a new home or upgrading your existing windows, choosing the right style is crucial. In this guide, we'll explore the most popular window types and styles to help you find the perfect fit for your home.

Types of Windows

Single-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows have a fixed upper sash and a lower sash that moves up and down. They are a classic, cost-effective option and are ideal for traditional homes.

Double-Hung Windows

Similar to single-hung, but both the upper and lower sashes are operable. This allows for better ventilation and easier cleaning, making them a favorite for homeowners looking for both functionality and style.

CASEMENT WINDOWS

Hinged on the side, casement windows swing outward using a crank mechanism. They offer excellent ventilation and an unobstructed view, making them perfect for areas where you want maximum airflow, such as kitchens.

Awning Windows

These windows are hinged at the top and open outward, creating an awning effect. They're great for rainy climates as they can be left open for ventilation without letting water in.

sliding Windows

Sliding windows open horizontally by gliding along a track. They work well in modern and contemporary homes, offering a simple, sleek design with easy operation.

Bay and Bow Windows

Bay windows consist of three panels that extend outward, adding space and depth to a room. Bow windows have a more curved, elegant appearance with four or more panels. These styles are perfect for adding charm and increasing natural light in living rooms or dining areas

Picture windows

Fixed, non-operable windows that provide expansive, unobstructed views. They're ideal for rooms where ventilation isn’t a priority but natural light and scenery are.

SKYLIGHT WINDOWS

Installed in the ceiling, skylights bring in natural light from above. They’re an excellent option for rooms with limited wall space, such as bathrooms or hallways.
