When it comes to replacement windows, The Glass Guru offers a diverse range of materials, sizes, styles, and features to suit your new construction or retrofit window project. From size and color to shape and configuration, our experienced team can help you bring your vision to life.

Awning

Hinged at the top and opening out from the bottom, awning windows provide minimal ventilation and a contemporary look. They are ideal for pairing with fixed-pane picture windows and open out to an angle of about 30 degrees, perfect for rainy days.

Bay

Bay windows feature three or more windows angled out from the house, with the center unit parallel to the house and the side units at an angle. They can also include garden bay windows, ideal for kitchen spaces.

Bow

Bow windows consist of multiple windows that curve gradually, adding a unique architectural element to your home.

Casement

Casement windows open like doors, with hinges on one side and a crank handle on the other. They swing outward to provide excellent ventilation and are popular above kitchen sinks.

Double-Hung

Double-hung windows open vertically, with both panes operable. They offer versatility in ventilation options and are a traditional style choice for many homes.

Fixed/Picture

Fixed windows, also known as picture windows, do not open or close. They are ideal for architectural enhancements and are energy-efficient and budget-friendly.

Garden

Garden windows extend outward from the house and feature an interior shelf for plants and herbs, along with side vents for ventilation.

Hopper

Hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and swing inward. They are commonly used in basements or high up on walls.

Single-Hung

Similar to double-hung windows but with only the bottom pane operable, single-hung windows offer cost-effective ventilation options.

Sliding/Glider

Sliding windows consist of one fixed pane and one movable pane that slides horizontally. They are economical and easy to operate, making them a popular choice for many homeowners.

Specialty

Specialty windows come in various shapes and sizes, including arches, circles, pentagons, and trapezoids, allowing for endless design possibilities.
