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.

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.
