Double Hung

Sometimes also called a vertical slider, double (and single) hung windows are a traditional style of window. On double-hung windows both panes slide up and down, while on single hung windows only the bottom pane slides. Screens are located on the exterior of the window. Most contemporary double and single hung windows also tilt in for easy cleaning.




Horizontal Slider
Two lite sliding windows open by sliding sideways, with each lite (sash) on its own track. On some two lite sliders both sashes slide, while on others only the pane located on the inner track slides. Screens are located on the outside of the window. Be sure to ask for the optional Tilt-N-Slide feature for easy cleaning.





Three Section Slider
Three lite sliders consist of one fixed pane in the center and two end lites that slide toward the window's center. They can be configured as a standard three lite slider where the center is approximately half the window’s width and the ends are each one quarter of the width, or as a three equal lite slider. As on the two lite slider, screens are on the exterior of each sliding pane, with some models featuring a Tilt-N-Slide option for easy cleaning.




Casements
Casement windows are hinged to open outward either to the left or right. They can be cranked open partially or up to 90 degrees for full ventilation. Screens are located on the inside.

NOTE: While casements are limited to a maximum width of 32 to 36 inches, they can be produced in multiple units connected side to side to accommodate most any opening size.

An elegant series of three to six windows gently arranged in a bow shape to protrude from the exterior wall. End units can be fixed, double-hung or casement windows for ventilation. They are often provided with furniture-grade head and seat boards that can be stained or painted to complement interior décor.




Bay Window
A stunning picture window combination that extends outside the house and is flanked on either side by operating or fixed casement or double-hung windows placed at 30 or 45 degree angles. Like bow windows, bay windows are often provided with furniture-grade head and seat boards that can be stained or painted to complement interior décor.




Garden Bay
A greenhouse-like window combination that extends outside the house. It is composed of operating or stationary casement windows placed at 90 degree angles on each side of a picture window, and a glass overhead pane to allow sunlight to flow directly into the window area — great for plants!




Hopper
Usually found in the basement or above a door, hopper windows are hinged to tilt inward from the top. Screens are placed on the exterior of the window.




Awning Window
A window that is hinged at the top of the sash, so that the bottom can swing open towards the exterior of the building. Like casement windows, awning windows can be cranked open partially or to a full 90 degrees for full ventilation. Screens are located on the inside.
