Single Hung Windows
Single hung windows have a fixed upper sash and a lower sash that can be slid up or down (vertically) to open or close the window. A double hung window is much more common but many apartment complexes still install single hung windows. They can also often tilt inward to aid in cleaning the window.
Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are very popular window types. They are essentially two moveable sashes inside a single casement, that can move or slide vertically past each other. The type of window shown to the left has a tilt feature which enables easier cleaning of the inside and outside.
Awning Windows
Awning Windows are a very traditional window style. The windows don't slide up or down as in the case of single hung windows, but rather they swing outward. They have a very unique design style and some homes still have these kinds of windows installed. On some versions they are usually kept open by a hinged arm with holes or one newer versions they are cranked open by a rotating lever.
Side Slider Windows
Side Slider Windows are windows that feature two sashes that move horizontally rather than vertically. The sashes slide past each other and are a more suitable window type for people with disabilities since the windows are usually easier to operate than single or double hung windows.
Garden Windows
Garden windows are usually installed above a kitchen sink and offer an opportunity to grow a plant or mini garden right inside your home. They usually have a fixed front window and two side sashes and protrude from the home to allow sinlight in through the top of the window. They are generally more expensive to install but have a great appeal while allowing the ability to make your home greener.
Bay Windows
Bay windows achieved wide popularity in the late 1800's and are still very appealing. They are angled windows connected by a usually fixed connecting pane and protrude outward from the side of the wall. This creates a bay area on the inside room and can commonly be seen on many victorian style buildings.
Bow Windows
Bow windows are generally several casement windows joined together to form an arch. It is essentially a bow window that is curved outward to offer a wider exterior view of the outside. They too, like the bay window, gained much of its popularity in the Victorian era and today's modern versions bring back a renewed popularity for these windows.
Picture Windows
Picture windows, like the name suggests provide a picture view of the outside world. They are usuallt larger fixed windows, do not have glazing bars and offer an unobstructed view of the outside.
