What are the Different Types of Windows?

Windows are more than just openings in a wall—they bring in natural light, improve ventilation, and enhance your home's style and energy efficiency.

Choosing the right type of window depends on your space, function, and design goals.

Here are some of the most popular window types:

1. Single-Hung & Double-Hung Windows

These classic styles slide vertically.

In single-hung windows, only the bottom sash moves, while in double-hung, both sashes are operable—great for airflow and easy cleaning.

2. Casement Windows

Hinged on the side and opening outward like a door, casement windows offer great ventilation and a tight seal for energy efficiency.



3. Sliding Windows

These windows glide horizontally and are ideal for wide wall spaces.

They’re simple, modern, and easy to operate.

4. Awning Windows

Hinged at the top and opening outward, awning windows are perfect for rainy climates—they can stay open without letting water in.

5. Bay & Bow Windows

These windows extend outward, adding space and dimension.

Bay windows typically have three panels, while bow windows have four or more for a curved look.

Is it Time for a New Window Replacement?

The right windows do more than just frame a view—they can elevate your home’s design, improve energy efficiency, and increase overall value.

Whether you're building new or updating your space, knowing your options helps you make the best choice for your lifestyle and home.
