Window Types & Styles

Awning Windows

Awning windows consist of a series of vertically arranged, top-hinged rectangular sections; designed to admit air while excluding rain. Typically these windows are used in traditional homes, garden-level and basement areas and wet climates.

Bay/Bow Windows

Bay window is a generic term for all protruding window constructions. They are most commonly polygonal (half of a hexagon) or square, but they may also be curved, in which case they may also be called bow windows.

Casement Windows

A casement window (or casement) is a window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges. Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward similar to a cabinet door. Many traditional and classic style homes have been installed with casement windows.

Single-Hung Windows

A single hung window has two sashes but normally the top sash is fixed and only the bottom sash slides. "Single-hung" windows operate the same as "double-hung" windows, but their upper sash is fixed in place. Great for traditional or modern homes and hey are very efficient.

Double-Hung Windows

"Double-hung" windows are a modern take on the common traditional window. They have an upper sash and a lower sash, both of which slide up and down in the window opening. This provides flexibility with ventilation options, especially considering window treatments and maintenance.

Sliding Windows

These windows are fairly common with both traditional and more modern homes. They open horizontally from one side and allow quick and easy access to the outside.

Energy Efficiency & Insulation

Of course there are plenty of insulation & energy efficiency options as well like using Argon/Krypton gas filled panes. In short, Argon/Krypton filled windows are more efficient, because the gas is more dense than "air" and conducts less heat than "air." This makes it a more optimal heat transfer barrier. These gases are noble elements and are completely harmless, odorless, and non-reactive.

Choosing Your Windows

We take into account several factors when helping you decide which windows and styles will be the best for you and your home. Here are a few of the criteria we take into consideration in addition to having a conversation with you and understanding what you are aiming for as well.
