Side-Opening Windows
Side-opening windows, often called casement windows, hinge on one side and swing like a door. They open outward or inward. A crank or lever makes them easy to operate.
Why Choose Casement Windows?
Casement windows are simple and effective. They catch side breezes, improving airflow. Because of their design, they suit many rooms and offer comfort and convenience.
Top-Opening Windows
These windows hinge at the top and open from the bottom.
When open, they form a small awning. This helps block rain while letting air flow through.
Because of this design, they work well for ventilation. In addition, many people pair them with other window styles.
This improves airflow and adds visual appeal.
Top and Side Opening Windows
This setup combines two types: a top opener and a side opener. The top section opens from the bottom and helps block rain while letting air in.
Meanwhile, the side opener swings outward like a door. Together, they provide vertical and horizontal airflow.
As a result, this combination suits many rooms. It adds flexibility and improves ventilation throughout the home.
Fixed Pane Windows
Also known as picture windows, these do not open or close. They let in light and offer clear views without ventilation.
Because they stay shut, they insulate well and help save energy. In addition, their design makes them ideal for framing scenic views.
You’ll often find them in living rooms or spaces where privacy isn’t a concern but natural light and wide sightlines are important.
Bottom-Opening Windows
These windows hinge at the bottom and open from the top. Depending on the design, they swing inward or outward.
Thanks to their shape, they help control airflow. You can let air in without opening the window fully.
For added security, they’re often used in schools, offices, and some homes. Their design suits many settings and offers safe ventilation.
Top Opening Window with Obscure Glass
This window opens outward from the bottom and hinges at the top. It allows airflow while keeping rain out.
Obscure glass, either frosted or textured, lets light in but blocks clear views. As a result, it adds privacy without reducing brightness.
These windows work well in bathrooms and bedrooms. They combine fresh air with privacy, making them both practical and stylish.
Top and Bottom Opening Windows
These windows include top hung and bottom hung styles.
Both open without needing to swing fully, which improves safety.
The top section allows airflow. The bottom can act as a fire escape.
This setup adds security and ventilation. It works well in many rooms.
Mixed Window Types
Side-opening windows swing outward and hinge on one side.
Top-opening windows open from the bottom and hinge at the top.
Fixed pane windows stay closed. They let in light and offer clear views.
Why Combine Them?
Together, these styles improve airflow and ease of use. In addition, they boost energy efficiency. Each type meets a different need, making the combination practical for any home.
