EXPLORE WINDOW STYLES

STEP 7

 

Casement Window: An operating style of window with a side-hinged sash that opens from the side toward the exterior.

Awning Window: An operating style of window with a sash hinged on the top that swings open at the bottom towards the exterior.

Single Hung Window: An operating style of window with a lower sash that slides upward and the upper sash is fixed.

Single Slider: A type of window with one fixed sash and one or two that slide sideways. Also known as a glider.

Double Hung Window: An operating style of window with an upper sash that slides down and a lower sash that slides up.

Double Slider: A type of window with two sashes that slide sideways. Also known as a double glider.

Bay Window: A three-unit combination window consisting of a central picture or fixed window and flanked by a pair of windows set at an angle (usually 45 degrees).

Bow Window: A type of window consisting of four or more window units attached at an angle to give an impression of a curve.

Fixed Unit: A stationary window or door unit that does not open.

Grills

Grills: Grills can also be added to any of the above window styles to get your desired look. Grills can be added in any custom pattern or shape, but are more cost effective when you choose one of the more popular styles pictured below. Grills come in 2 different types, Internal Aluminum, and Surface SDL. It is important to note that grills reduce the energy efficiency of your windows, so less is more. Standard grills are installed in between the panes of glass, so they require no cleaning.

SDL’s

SDL’s: (Simulated Divided Lites) give the illusion of a true divided lite window because the grilles adhere to the surface of the glass. SDL’s traditionally cost more than standard grills, but cost much less than true divided lites.
