Types
of Windows |
|
Double Hung
A window with two vertical
operating sashes that glide up and down.
|
|
Glider Windows
Windows with a horizontally
sliding sash that, yes, glides.
|
|
Casemasters and Awnings
Windows that open and close
using a crank handle, with the Casemaster
swinging out from the side and the Awning
swinging open at the bottom. French Casemasters
have two sash opening from the middle to offer
an uninterrupted view.
|
|
Multiple Assemblies
This rather oblique term is an industry word for windows that are connected to form the appearance of a single window. Simple window shapes can be put together to create nearly limitless window combinations that are anything but standard. Bows and bays are good examples.
|
|
Tilt Turn and Hopper
Windows that open two ways:
swinging in like a door, or tilting in at the
top for ventilation.
|
|
Bow and Bay Window
Bay windows are multiple
assembly windows that are usually made from two
Casemasters or two Double Hungs angled from a
picture window, or the arc of windows to create
a bow.
|
|
Round Top
These curved or circular
windows can still have high-performance glazing
and clad exterior options.
|
|
Polygon and Special Shapes
We can make windows in nearly
any geometric shape-octagon, trapezoid,
triangles and more, whether used alone or added
to an assembly of other windows.
