Windows

Bay window, window formed as the exterior expression of a bay within a structure, a bay in this context being an interior recess made by the outward projection of a wall. The purpose of a bay window is to admit more light than would a window flush with the wall line.

Bow windows, like Bay windows, extend outward from the exterior wall. It allows you to enhance the basic architectural look of your home. The geometrical curve can be created with four, five, or six wide assemblies of Casement windows.

Garden Windows, also called a greenhouse window extends out into your yard, giving you more light and more to see. In addition to more glass, garden windows often have shelving, which gives you increased decorating options.

Casement Window A casement is a window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges at the side. They are used singly or in pairs within a common frame, in which case they are hinged on the outside. Casement windows are often held open using a casement stay. Windows hinged at the top are referred to as awning windows, and the ones hinged at the bottom are called hoppers.

Single Hung Windows are often the standard window option used in newer home construction, apartment buildings and office spaces. In a single-hung window the bottom panel, or sash, moves vertically, while the upper sash remains stationary. When opened, the bottom sash obstructs, at least partially, the upper sash

Double Hung Windows have two operating sash that move up and down allowing for ventilation on the top, bottom or both. Single-Hung windows allow ventilation through a single operable lower sash. Both offer easy cleaning from inside your home and remain flush with the wall, making them ideal for patios or walkways.

Curved Windows An arch window (a bow or radius window) creates a dramatic effect in both contemporary and traditional homes. An arch window can be tall like a casement window or wide like an awning window. In traditional homes, arch windows can be used to create a Victorian-like effect.

Grid Pattern Windows that feature a drop grid pattern offer the best of both worlds: a beautiful decorative pattern and plenty of space for unobstructed sight lines. Also known as top row grids or short fractional grids, drop grids are only placed along the top portion of the window or door.

A large window with a fixed center pane and two side sliders would be an "XOX." Double-hung windows open vertically, and both panes are operable - the lower pane moves up and rests inside the upper pane, and the upper pane moves down to the outside of the lower one. Instead, the windows come to you.

Commercial Windows are designed to let in more light for larger spaces, like offices, schools, and other business-type buildings. More light means larger frames and overall more glass. Residential buildings have smaller spaces designated for windows, so you can see less glass and more paneling in action.
