Window Styles

A home's windows can add a distinguishing detail. In addition, the windows can make your home more comfortable, quiet, and attractive. In order to choose the right windows, however, you'll need to know about the different styles available, from the more contemporary to more classic ones.



Here is a brief overview:

Casement Windows - Casement windows are hinged at the side and thus open outward, either to the right or left.  Casement windows are known for allowing plenty of light in. In addition, since they can open wide, they can allow breeze to come in and thus improve the ventilation in a room. 

Awning Windows - Awning windows hinge at the top and open out from the bottom, usually through the use of a crank. Since awning windows can open outward, they allow for more light and ventilation while making sure that the rain stays out. 

Double Hung Windows - Double hung windows have a top sash that can be lowered and a bottom sash that can be raised. The two sashes allows for some flexibility in ventilation and in safety.
