Single hung windows have a fixed upper sash and a movable lower sash, providing a budget-friendly alternative to double hung windows with easier maintenance.
Double-hung windows: traditional, two sliding sashes, good for upper level cleaning, but safety concern for children due to large lower openings.
Casement windows: crank-operated, modern look, tight seals, but prone to breakage in strong winds and mechanical failures.
Slider windows: horizontal sliding, modern homes, easy maintenance, but require frequent track cleaning.
Awning windows open outward like an awning, suitable for wet climates. They operate with mechanical cranks, requiring maintenance due to wear.
Roof windows and skylights bring light into roof spaces and open-concept rooms with limited wall space, enhancing ventilation.
Bay or bow windows extend outward, serving as focal points in rooms like living rooms, often with a fixed center window flanked by double-hung or casement windows.
Glass block windows: fixed, thick blocks allowing light, common in bathrooms and basements, secure but may not fit all home styles.
Garden windows jut out with glass on four sides, perfect for plants and decor, not storage. Small additions like a knife block fit without spoiling the look.
Fixed windows are sealed glass panes, like pictures. They're for views and light, not ventilation. They're cheap but trap heat and need outside cleaning.
