Different Types of Windows

We pride ourselves on installing just about any type of windows that our customers desire. You can learn more about these different options to get a better sense of what you want to choose for your home. 

Awning Windows

These windows hinge at the top and open out from the side of your home by using a hand crank. Because of the way they open, you can even keep them open when it’s raining without having to worry about water coming into your home. 

Bay and Bow Windows

These eye-catching options combine a few different window styles together, extending out from your home. Bow and bay windows give you extra interior space and a boost in curb appeal thanks to the unique design. 

Casement Windows

Similar to awning windows, this option opens outward using a hand crank, but it is hinged at the side instead of the top. Casement windows are a popular option with local homeowners because they allow for airflow so you can enjoy fresh air in your home on pleasant days. 

Single-Hung Windows

This window opens from the bottom, while the top sash is fixed in place. Single-hung windows are one of the most common options on the market. 

Double-Hung Windows

Unlike single-hung windows, double-hung windows can open from the top or bottom, for more flexibility. You can even tilt them into your home to make cleaning easier than ever.

Garden Windows

Do you have a green thumb? Consider installing garden windows, which extend outward and have convenient shelves that are perfect for your favorite plans. For added ventilation, these have side windows that open.

Geometric Windows

To give your home a unique design element, install geometric windows, which come in a variety of different shapes. From arched options to circular windows, there’s something that’s sure to catch your eye. 

Picture Windows

When you want to bring your beautiful outside view inside, a picture window is the perfect choice. While they don’t open, they work well in both small and large rooms, offering an unobstructed view of the outside world. As a bonus, picture windows are extremely energy efficient. 

Slider Windows

If you want to be able to easily open and close your windows, consider installing slider windows. These open horizontally on a smooth track from the left or the right so you can let plenty of fresh air into your home.
