Types of Windows

Single-Hung Windows: A traditional style where only the bottom sash moves up and down. Double-Hung Windows: Both the top and bottom sashes are operable, allowing for better ventilation and ease of cleaning. Casement Windows: Hinged at the side and open outward like a door, providing excellent ventilation and a clear view. Awning Windows: Hinged at the top and open outward, these are great for ventilation even in rainy weather. Sliding Windows: These move horizontally, typically with two sashes that slide to the left or right. Bay or Bow Windows: These windows project outward from the building, creating extra space inside. Bay windows typically have a central large window with two smaller ones on the sides, while bow windows have a curved appearance. Picture Windows: Large, fixed windows that provide unobstructed views and allow maximum natural light but do not open. Tilt and Turn Windows: Common in Europe, they can tilt inward from the top for ventilation or swing open like a door for larger openings. Skylights: Installed in the roof to allow light to come in from above, often used in attics or rooms with limited wall space.
