Anatomy of a Window

Style
We offer a wide range of a window styles that lets you choose the size, shape and opening method for all your rooms.
- Awning – Awning windows are compatible with a variety of architectural styles. They are hinged at the top and open out from the bottom in an upward swing.
- Bay – A bay window consists of three individual units. The center unit is parallel to the exterior wall. The left- and right-side (flanking) units are aligned at 30- or 45-degree angles.
- Bow – Bow windows extend outward to create the illusion of a rounded (arched) wall. A bow window consists of four or more (commonly five) adjoining windows that are installed on a radius from the wall of the building.
- Casement – A casement window is hinged on the left or right side and opens outward in a swinging motion. Casements deliver the most unobstructed viewing areas and ventilation of any operating window.
- Double-Hung – A double-hung window is best suited to traditional architectural styles. Double-hung windows feature an upper and lower sash that slide vertically past each other in a single frame. Both sash tilt in for convenient cleaning.
- Fixed – Fixed (picture) windows are available in a wide variety of shapes, with either curved or straight frames. They can be used as freestanding units or in combination with other styles.
- Garden – With a garden window, you can add a little greenhouse to any room. This projecting, three-sided window includes one shelf, a glass top and single-hung window on each side for maximum air circulation.
- Single-Hung – A single-hung window features a stationary top sash and a bottom sash that slides upward vertically. Single-hung windows are available with a tilt or side-load removable sash for easy cleaning.
- Sliding – A sliding window has one stationary sash and one sash that moves to the right or left in grooves or on tracks. It may also be referred to as a roller or glider window.
- Tilt and Turn – Inspired by European trends, the Tilt and Turn window delivers the functionality of a casement window and the ventilation of a hopper window. You choose the operation you want.

Material
We combine high quality materials with a smart manufacturing process for durability and beauty.
- Aluminum – A lightweight and strong material that is a cost effective alternative to wood. This material is corrosion-resistant and performs well in most climates.
- Vinyl – A strong plastic material that is used for its durability, energy efficiency and ability to stand up to the elements. This material will never fade in color, flake, peel or rot.
- Wood – Wood comes from trees that grow in a variety of species, such as fir, pine, mahogany or alder. Each species has a range of characteristics, like grain, color and sap content, which contributes to its unique appearance.
- Clad-Wood - Like a coat of armor, cladding is a strong layer of metal on wood, providing extra protection and low maintenance benefits with no exterior painting required.
