Double-hung windows have two sashes that slide to open both from the top and the bottom.
|
Find double-hung windows in all styles of traditional homes, including these popular styles:
- Farmhouse
- Victorian
- Cape Cod
- Craftsman
|
There are two opportunities for air flow so you can open top, bottom, or both. When both top and bottom sashes are open, circular ventilation is possible — hot air flows out the top, and cool air flows in the bottom.
These windows are classic, so they suit any style of home, but particularly more traditional styles.
|
With more moving parts and pieces, double-hung windows can be more expensive than some other types of windows.
|
Some people like double-hung windows on the first floor or in a child’s bedroom because of the option to open the top sash.
Double-hung windows are available through all our product lines.

Single-hung windows look identical to double-hung windows but differ in a fundamental way. Only the bottom sash opens by sliding up.
|
Anywhere a double-hung window might be found, a single-hung window will work too since they look identical. One thing to note is that we only offer single-hung windows through our 100 Series product line, which has a more modern aesthetic. If you’re creating a transitional home, think Modern farmhouse, Modern Tudor, and similar, the 100 Series single-hung window could be the perfect choice.
|
Get the classic look of a double-hung window with improved energy-efficiency. This is due to the fixed (doesn’t open) top sash.
Compared to a double-hung window, a single-hung is less expensive because it requires fewer parts and pieces. This can also simplify maintenance down the road.
|
There’s only one opening, so there’s less opportunity for air flow into the home.
|
In places where the top sash is too high to reach, a single-hung window can be a practical choice.
Single-hung windows are available through our 100 Series product line.

Casement windows have a single sash and open outward with a crank.
|
Casement windows are an unbeatable pick for a modern home, especially these popular styles:
They can work equally well in certain traditional home styles, including:
|
Casements are the most energy-efficient of the operable (opening) windows we offer.
Get a more modern look with the sleek single-sash design of a casement window.
|
These windows open outward, so they might not be the best choice next to a walkway, deck, or porch. In these places, they can impede movement or reduce the amount of usable living space.
|
Above a kitchen sink or anywhere you’d have to reach to open the window, a casement is easy to operate.
Casement windows are available through all of our product lines.
They can be ordered with a simulated checkrail, which makes them look like double-hung windows.

Picture windows are windows that don’t open at all.
|
Picture windows play nice in any style of home. You’ll often find them in oversized form in modern homes and more moderately sized in more traditional homes.
|
Picture windows are the most energy efficient windows because they don’t open.
Picture windows can be extra large due to their inoperability.
|
They don’t open, so typically they make the most sense in spaces where there are doors or other windows that do open.
|
A popular choice in living rooms especially when paired with a double-hung or casement on either side. They’re also the type used to create floor-to-ceiling windows.
Picture windows are available through all our product lines.

|
Dramatic and eye-catching, these windows add character to a home.
With three windows in one that project beyond the walls of your home, you get extra airflow, space, and panoramic views.
|
Bay windows benefit from extra insulation at the header and footer.
Proper installation is especially key when installing this type of window.
|
Bays are a popular choice in living rooms where they can make a statement, as well as bedrooms.
Bay windows are available through our 400 Series and E-Series product lines.

|

|
Like a classic bay, bow windows are statement makers.
With a minimum of four windows, they add extra airflow, space, and panoramic views.
|

|
Bows are a popular choice in living rooms and other more public rooms in the home where their statement-making good looks can be fully appreciated.

Gliding windows include two or three sashes that are horizontally oriented and slide to open.
|
Gliding windows are a nice choice for more modern styles, think:
|
They fill a large space efficiently; a gliding window can even include three sashes.
With fewer parts and pieces, it can require less maintenance over time.
|
Gliding windows can operate in various ways. Some only open on one side, so it’s important to think through how you'll use it before you order. This isn’t a detail that can be changed later.
|
Gliding windows can be a good choice adjacent to a porch or deck because they open flush, so they won’t impede movement in your outdoor space.
Gliding windows are available through our 100 Series, 200 Series, 400 Series, and E-Series product lines.

An awning window is another good choice for a more modern home, like:
|
Similar to casements, awnings are one of the most energy-efficient operable windows.
Their single-sash design gives them a more modern look.
|
With their outward opening, they aren’t the best choice next to walkways, decks, or porches where they can impede movement and reduce usable living space.
|
Awnings are a popular choice in bathrooms where they’re often placed higher on the wall for privacy. They can also be ordered with a power operator, which allows opening at the touch of a button.
Awning windows are offered through our 100 Series, 400 Series, A-Series, and E-Series product lines.

|

|

Combine non-standard shapes for a large-scale window unit.
|

Pass-through windows are windows that are meant to facilitate indoor/outdoor entertaining and come in a range of opening styles.
|
These windows go best in homes that have well-defined outdoor living spaces. Selections are flexible so you can match your home style.
|
More than any other window, pass-through windows are about enabling a certain lifestyle. If you live to entertain and want to make the most of your outdoor living space, this window is made for you.
A large opening can be created with a pass-through that makes it easy to pass out food, beverages, and create an open-air atmosphere in your home.
|
Pass-through windows are smaller versions of our oversize patio doors, which are premium products with a price to match. A flush to countertop install is the ideal and can be accomplished with water management included, but it’s a complex installation that requires proper planning and will likely be more expensive when compared to installing a more standard type of window.
|
Pass-through windows are typically installed at counter level between a kitchen and outdoor living space where they can make it easy to use both spaces at once.
We offer Folding Outswing Pass-Through Windows, MultiGlide™ Pass-Through Windows (this option can pocket and automate), and Liftslide Pass-Through Windows.
