Awning Window
- Advantages: Awning windows are designed to provide light and breeze when placed high on walls. They are great for bedrooms and other areas that need to maintain privacy but want to allow light in. Awning windows can also be opened slightly to allow ventilation.
- Placement: Awning windows can be positioned in a variety of places. They can be arranged next to other windows or in columns. They are often used above large patio doors to create a wall of light and ventilation.
Casement Window
- Advantages: Casement windows are chosen for their capacity to let in light and fresh air. They open outward fully, easily allowing fresh air and sunshine into your home.
- Placement: Casement windows are great for places that will be hard to reach, such as over sinks or appliances. They crank open as opposed to sliding up and down, which makes them easier to maneuver.
Double-Hung Window
- Advantages: Double-hung windows are often chosen for their unique style. Many older homes have single pane double-hung windows, a style that many people would like to maintain. One of the values of this type is that the top can be opened while the bottom remains closed, great for kid's rooms.
- Placement: Double-hung windows can be placed practically anywhere in a home. Keep in mind the advantage to this type of window is the ventilation and access. They make perfect windows for kitchens, offices, and bedrooms.
Slider/Gliding Window
- Advantages: Many people find gliding windows easier to manipulate than crank-outs. This type of window is often chosen by people who want maximum ease when opening and closing windows.
- Placement: Since gliding windows do not open outwards, they are perfect for areas such as walkways. They are ideal when positioned high on walls in living and family rooms.
Picture Window
- Advantages: Picture windows are used to create unobstructed views in areas where ventilation is not a concern. They make the most of available light but do not open to allow ventilation. Picture windows can be combined with other windows to maximize both light and ventilation.
- Placement: Picture windows are ideal for dark rooms and hallways. They can bring in stunning light and brighten up even the darkest room. Often, they are placed high on walls to allow for maximum light. When combined with patio doors or operating windows, such as gliding windows, they can create the perfect balance of light and ventilation.
Bay Window
- Advantages: Bay windows are chosen to maximize light and views, and to create a more open feel. Their multiple views allow light in from different angles. In addition, the sides of the window can be opened to allow ventilation as well. They add uniqueness and style to a home.
- Placement: Bay windows are ideal for rooms where you are trying to create a feeling of spaciousness and bring in light from different angles. Replacing a flat window with a bay window can completely change the amount of light that a room receives.
Hopper Window
A hopper window is a cost-effective unit that can serve basement opening purposes and is placed in middle of glass block units.
Garden Window
Typically found in kitchens, the garden window allows you to bring a little of the outdoors inside with extra light and shelving for plants or other decorative features.
