Popular windows types:

Casement Windows- These windows are ideal for hard to reach areas because you don’t have to be close to them to open. Bathrooms, kitchens, and basements would look great with casement windows. Casement windows use hinges to attach the window to its frame. They generally open towards the outside and use a lever or crank to do so. The lever is also used as a locking mechanism for the window.

Awning Windows- Want great ventilation and need to save space? These windows are it! They have hinges attached to the window frame which allow them to open outwards. This feature also allows for easy cleaning! They are great for catching natural breezes and circulating air throughout your home.

Double-Hung- These windows are one of the most popular window types because of its ease in function and beauty.  Double-hung windows have upper and lower sashes that can open either way. They have a great tilt-in feature which makes them easy to clean. They’re very durable and versatile! They come in a variety of finishes and can hold single pane or multi-pane glass.

Single-Hung- These windows are similar to double-hung but only its lower sash can open up and down. These are the easiest types of windows to install and would be great for someone with time constraints. They are also durable and come in a variety of finishes.
