Double Hung Window

A double hung window is a type of window that features two vertically sliding sashes—one on the top and one on the bottom—within a single frame. Both sashes can move up and down independently, allowing for versatile ventilation options: air can flow in through the bottom, out through the top, or both. This design also makes cleaning easier, as many models allow the sashes to tilt inward for access to both sides of the glass. Double hung windows are popular in traditional and modern homes for their classic look and practical functionality.

A single hung window is a type of window with two sashes, but only the bottom sash is operable and can move up and down, while the top sash remains fixed in place. This design offers a traditional appearance and provides basic ventilation through the lower half of the window. Single hung windows are typically more energy-efficient and cost-effective than double hung windows due to fewer moving parts. They are commonly used in residential buildings for their simplicity and durability.

A casement window is a type of window that is hinged on one side and opens outward like a door, usually operated with a crank handle. It provides excellent ventilation, as the entire window can open, and the angled sash can catch and direct breezes into the home. Casement windows also offer a tight seal when closed, enhancing energy efficiency. They are commonly used in modern and traditional homes alike, especially in areas where maximum airflow and unobstructed views are desired.

A sliding window, also known as a glider window, consists of two or more sashes that move horizontally along a track within the frame. Typically, one sash is fixed while the other slides open and closed, though some models allow both sashes to slide. Sliding windows are easy to operate, require minimal maintenance, and are ideal for wide openings where vertical space is limited. They offer a modern look and provide ample natural light and ventilation, making them popular in contemporary homes and apartments.

A fixed window is a non-operable window that does not open or close, designed solely to let in natural light and provide unobstructed views. Because it has no moving parts, a fixed window offers excellent insulation and energy efficiency. It is often used in combination with other window types or placed in areas where ventilation is not needed, such as high walls or decorative architectural spaces. Fixed windows come in various shapes and sizes, making them a versatile choice for enhancing the aesthetics of a home.
