YOUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
Single-hung windows feature a single movable sash, raised from the bottom for ventilation, while the top stays stationary. Double-hung windows feature two operating sashes that move up and down to allow ventilation through the top, bottom, or both. The opening over the top sash lets stale or hot air exit, and the opening below the lower sash draws fresh air in.
Sliding windows operate horizontally to allow for full top to bottom ventilation. Since they are constructed from fewer parts than conventional windows, they are traditionally low maintenance and easy to use.
Awning windows are hinged on the top while opening from the bottom, allowing for ventilation while offering protection from precipitation and moisture. They are usually placed higher on walls for privacy or with large stationary windows for an enhanced view.
Casement windows are side-hinged and crank outward, allowing for full top-to-bottom ventilation. Aside from coming with various design features, casement windows are energy-efficient, easy to open and close, and offer excellent ventilation.
Bay windows have three openings available in angled projections, while a bow window has four or five. A bay window’s structure is comprised of a picture window flanked by two, usually smaller, windows. Alternatively, a bow window’s structure is curved and showcases a rounder appearance.
An egress window is a window large enough, as defined by local business codes for entry or exit in case of an emergency. These are typically required when finishing a basement and are paired with an Egress Well with attached ladder or steps for easy escape.
Awning windows are hinged on the top while opening from the bottom, allowing for ventilation while offering protection from precipitation and moisture. They are usually placed higher on walls for privacy or with large stationary windows for an enhanced view.
We create specialty windows to cater to unique or stand-alone wall spaces. Whether you have an unconventionally shaped area on your wall or are looking to increase privacy for your bedroom or bathroom, custom-made specialty windows may be an excellent solution.

While single-hung windows allow for ventilation through one lower sash, Double-Hung windows have two operating sashes that move up and down to allow ventilation on the top, bottom, or both.
The Advantage of Double-Hung Windows
By opening both sashes of a double-hung window halfway, you get far more airflow than you get with other windows. The opening over the top sash allows stale, hot air to exit while the opening below the lower sash draws in fresh air.

Attached to their frame by one or more hinges on the side, casement windows are often held open using a casement stay. Casement windows are used singly or in pairs inside a common frame, in which case they are hinged from the outside.
The Advantage of Casement Windows
Besides offering a variety of design features, casement windows are highly energy-efficient, are easy to open and close, and offer great ventilation.

Sliding windows are often described as double-hung windows placed on their side. They can open from either the left or the right side to provide you with a wide view of your surroundings, and can come with a variety of customization options.
The Advantage of Sliding Windows
Because sliding windows are built from fewer parts than conventional windows, they are conveniently low maintenance. They are also easy to use, as you can slide them open to the side rather than having to push them up.

Bay windows have three openings that are available in angled projections, while a bow window typically has four or five. A bay window’s structure consists of a picture window with two, usually smaller, windows on either side. In contrast, a bow window’s structure is curved and has a rounder appearance.
The Advantage of Bow & Bay Windows
Bow and bay windows let in more natural light, vastly increasing your view of the outdoors while adding more space inside your home as well.

Hinged from the top, awning windows open outward from the bottom. Awning windows are often placed higher on walls for more privacy or in combination with larger stationary windows for an enhanced view.
The Advantage of Awning Windows
With their weather-tight construction, awning windows are great for damp climates. They can protect your home against moisture, even when open during rainfall.
