Window Style and 
Design Choices
AWNING WINDOW -
Double-Hung openings
can accommodate a 
single Awning Window
under a Picture Window
for an alpine look. Slim
design maximizes light
and sight while maintain-
ing ventilation, and gives
the home a taller, more
contemporary look.
BAY WINDOW - Available
in Double-Hung or
Casement combinations,
the Bay Window is a
favorite to decorate a
home and add the feeling
of extra space. Any 
opening 4-foot or larger 
is a perfect opportunity. 
BOW WINDOW - Gently
curving, this unit of
Casement Windows gives
more possible venting
combinations than 
standard picture win-
dow/flanker combina-
tions or Bay Windows. 
CASEMENT- Hinged on
the side and having one
sash, the Casement
Window allows lots of
glass area and easy
cleaning. Not only does
the casement open up 
the room to more air 
and light, the inward
closing action makes a
tighter weatherseal the
harder the wind blows.
ORIEL WINDOW- Oriel
Windows have a top sash
usually smaller than the
bottom sash.
CIRCLE TOP - For that
extra touch, the Circle 
Top with sunburst grid 
is a perfect choice. For
extra-tall openings, the
Circle Top can be placed
over a matching Double
Hung in the same opening.
DOUBLE HUNG WINDOW
- The most popular and
common window type in
most homes. Two sash
(upper and lower) both
operate and slide vertically
to open and close. 
GARDEN WINDOW -
Popular, and beautiful, 
the Garden Window is a
perfect addition over the
sink in the kitchen, in the
family-room, in the den, 
or anywhere more light
and plants will add to the
comfort and pleasure in
the home. 
HOPPER WINDOW -
Similar to the Awning
Window, the Hopper is
hinged horizontally but 
at the bottom. Makes a
perfect basement window
replacement. 
SINGLE-HUNG WINDOW-
Up and down sliding 
window with the bottom
sash operable and the top
sash fixed. 
ARCHITECTURAL
SHAPES - Unique shapes
like trapezoids, octagons
and triangles allow for
architectural design in
many window applications. 
SLIDING WINDOW-
Horizontal sliding 
windows offer ease of 
use and large glass 
areas and are available 
in multiple panels with 
one or more operating.
