Horizontal Sliding Windows
Horizontal sliding windows are a common style that is very easy to use. The sash slides either to the left or right, depending on where you wish to direct the air flow in the room. If you are considering larger window sizes, sliders are a good option.
Single Hung Windows
For single hung windows, the bottom sash slides up and down to open and close the window. The top sash stays in place and allows light to enter the home, but not air flow. Because they open vertically, they save space when the house exterior faces a patio or walking path.
Double Hung Windows
With double hung windows, both the top and bottom sash operate. They offer the same space saving convenience of a single hung window. They have an added bonus of being easy to clean because the sashes tilt inward. This can be helpful if the window is on a second story.
Casement Windows
Casement windows offer an unobstructed view because there is no rail in the center. They have a hinge on one side and open outward with a crank style handle.
Awning Windows
Awning windows have a sash that is hinged at the top and swings upward. Awning windows are typically smaller horizontal windows.
Picture Windows
Picture windows provide an unobstructed view and plenty of natural light. However, they are fixed and do not open or close so they do not provide airflow into the home.
