When choosing windows, consider the energy efficiency of each window operating style, as well as the weather conditions in your city.

FIXED

A fixed window is a casement or awning window that doesn’t open.

PICTURE

Picture windows do not open. They offer a low-profile frame to maximize glass surface, allowing a beautifully clear, unobstructed view.

CASEMENT

Hinged on the side, casement windows swing outward like a door, providing excellent air circulation into your home. They are also one of the most energy efficient operating windows because of their tight seal when closed.

AWNING

Like a casement window, an awning window is hung horizontally. Hinged on top, it swings outward, shielding from the rain while providing good ventilation and constant airflow. Like the casement window, it is also one of the most energy efficient operating windows.

BAY & BOW

Bay and bow windows allow you to expand an area in your home. Made up of a combination of windows attached at an angle, these windows extend beyond the wall, opening up any room.

SINGLE HUNG

With a bottom sash that slides up, the single hung window allows controlled airflow into your home.

SLIDER

The slider window has one or more sashes that slides open horizontally.
