Window styles for your home

Most windows come in many styles. These include:

Double-hung sash window: The traditional style of window, with two parts (sashes) that overlap slightly and slide up and down inside the frame.

Single-hung sash window: one sash is moveable and the other fixed.

Sliding window: has two or more sashes that overlap slightly but slide horizontally within the frame.

Casement window: A window that turns out at an angle, staying fixed along one side, usually opened using a crank.

Vent Window: Like a casement window but with the hinge at the top or bottom.

Tilt and slide: a window combining the opening options of a casement and a sliding window.

Tilt and turn: a window combining the opening options of a casement and vent window.

Jalousie window: A window comprising many slats of glass that open and close like a Venetian blind, usually using a crank. A Jalousie door is a door with a Jalousie window.

Exterior window shutters look great on the outside of the house.

Clerestory window: A vertical window set in a roof structure or high in a wall, used for day lighting.

Skylight: A flat or sloped window built into a roof structure for day lighting
Bay window: A multi panel window, with at least three panels set at different angles to create a protrusion from the wall line.

Oriel window

Fixed window: A window that cannot be opened. A non-openind window is sometimes called a "light" because its function is limited to allowing light to enter without any outside air. 

Picture window: A very large fixed window in a wall, intended to provide an unimpeded view as if framing a picture.
