WINDOW STYLES

Casement windows hinge on one side and swing outward left or right. They open via a fold‑away crank or Easy‑Slide, seal tightly for energy efficiency, capture breezes when open, and use protected interior screens that don’t interfere.

 A double-hung window can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top with two sashes that move independently. 

The two sashes are stacked and meet in the middle with a latch that locks the window shut. 

A single-hung window has a 

single movable sash that slides up from the bottom, while the top sash stays 

stationary. When open, 

the two sashes overlap, requiring no additional space to ventilate. 

 An awning window has hinges 

at the top of the frame, and swings outward from the bottom. They can open with the simple crank of a handle or 

with the basic glide of the 

Easy-Slide Operator hardware. 

 Picture windows, 

or fixed frame windows, are non-operable windows. 

As stationary windows that do not open, 

it’s common to pair picture windows with operable windows. 

 Sliding windows glide open horizontally from one side to the other. Sliding on a track, they require no extra space to operate. Sliding windows offer easy and controlled access to fresh air and provide excellent energy efficiency when closed. 

Best in hard‑to‑reach areas like over sinks or tubs, in bedrooms and bathrooms for light, airflow, and security, in hallways and stairwells for cross‑ventilation, and in living spaces to maximize light, views, and natural cooling from prevailing winds. Their outward‑opening design provides strong ventilation, security, and clear views wherever good airflow and light are needed.

Double‑hung windows are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and high‑traffic areas where you want flexible ventilation, easy cleaning, and a window 

that doesn’t project outward. They’re also great near patios, walkways, 

and porches, offering balanced airflow, classic style, and safe, space‑saving operation.

Single-hung windows are ideal 

for bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where you want simple operation, 

good insulation, and a classic look.

 Since only the bottom sash opens, they’re great for patios, walkways, or tight exterior spaces 

where an outward-opening window won’t work.

Awning windows are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements where you want ventilation even during rain. 

Their top‑hinged, outward‑opening design lets fresh air in while keeping water out, making them perfect for higher wall placement, privacy areas, and spaces needing consistent airflow. 

Picture windows are ideal for living rooms, dining areas, and any space 

where you want to maximize natural light and unobstructed views. Since they don’t open, they provide excellent energy efficiency and work well as statement windows in spaces overlooking scenic outdoor areas.

Sliding windows are ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and spaces facing patios or walkways. Their horizontal gliding design is perfect for wide openings, offering easy operation, great ventilation, and clean, modern sightlines-especially where you want to save space indoors and out.
