Window type
Awning
Similar to a casement window as it also opens on a hinge. The main difference between the two styles is that an awning window opens horizontally rather than vertically, which somewhat limits how far it can be opened. One benefit of this set-up, however, is that awning windows can often be left open during storms because the open pane deflects rainfall.
Hopper
Essentinally the same as an awning window, but opens at the top rather than the bottom. For obvious reasons, this style does not direct rain away from the interior.
Casement
Like doors, casement windows pivot on hinges. This style often opens outward and may be operated with a hand-crank. According to Better Homes and Gardens, casement shapes tend toward the tall and narrow, so wide wall openings usually feature several.
Single / Double-Hung
According to Better Homes and Gardens, double and single-hung windows are still the most common choice for homebuilders. Double-hung windows contain two panes which both slide vertically. Single-hung windows contain two panes as well, upper and lower, but only the lower pane moves. The operating panes tilt in for easy cleaning.
Picture / Transom / Fixed
While these windows come in a selection of sizes and shapes, they are stationary, meaning they cannot be opened. For this reason, picture windows are considered somewhat attractive. While they may let in a tremendous amount of light, they do not allow for ventilation, so they are often used in conjunction with another type of window which does.
Sliding
These windows open horizontally. On a single slider, only one side operates. On a double slider, both sides operate. We make a selection of sliding windows which can also be tilted in, swing in, or lifted out for easy cleaning.
Bay
A bay window is a attractive type of window that projects outward from the wall, creating a sense of more open space and allowing in more light. It is typically constructed from one central fixed window running parallel to the wall. This window is then flanked by two other windows, usually casement or double-hung styles, attached at an angle.
Bow
Much like bay windows, bow windows project outward from a wall. While a bay window is composed of three main panels, however, a bow window is constructed of several. These panes join to form a gentle curve, or a bow shape. Also similar to a bay window, a bow window's center is typically fixed and its side sashes are casement windows.
Glossary of common window terms
Aluminum Window Frames - Commonly used to construct window frames. Aluminum window frames are both light and durable. Though not energy saving, aluminum frames cost less than both vinyl and wood frames.
Argon - Argon is a type of glass typically put into the airspace separating the panes of a dual glass window to increase energy efficiency.
Double Glass - Also called insulated glass, a double glass window is constructed from two pieces of glass separated with airspace in between. This airspace acts as a buffer, decreasing the amount of heat lost through the glass.
Low E glass - Greatly contributes to windows' energy efficiency. Low E glass has been coated with a special metallic coating that deflects UV and infrared rays and limits solar heat gain.
New Construction - Also called nail-on frames, this type of frame installation is used for new construction where the window frame is nailed to the studs.
Obscure Glass - A type of glass meant to camouflage a window. Often used in bathrooms. Styles include: rainglass, glue chip, reed glass, and several others.
Retrofit Frame Installation - This type of frame is used when one has existing wood or aluminum windows and wants to upgrade them without damaging stucco or siding.
Single Glass Window - A single glass window constructed of just one pane of glass. Most builders no longer use single glass because it is not energy saving. See Double Glass Window.
Tempered Glass - Often called safety glass, tempered glass does not shatter as easy as non-tempered glass. When it does break, it crumbles into very small pieces to decreasethe threat of injury. Used in all doors and most windows installed within 18 inches of the floor.
Tinted Glass - Coated with a darker color to decreasesun glare and solar heat gain.
Vinyl Window Frames - Vinyl window frames are durable and energy saving--they conserve up to 30% more energy.
