| Double-Hung-Both sash slide vertically.
In most current window models, sash not only slide up and down,
but also tilt in for cleaning. Single-hung windows look similar,
but only the lower sash moves up and down. |
|
| Casement-The sash of casement windows are
hinged on the side and swing out left or right. Casement windows
are commonly operated by a crank. |
|
| Horizontal Slider-Also commonly called
gliding windows, these windows are opened by sliding sash horizontally. |
|
| Awning-Similar to casements, except the
sash is hinged to the top of the window frame. Another variation
is the hopper window, which opens with the sash hinged to the
bottom. [use photo: awning.jpg] |
|
| Bow window-Like bay windows, bow windows
also protrude from the exterior wall and generally consist of
a series of narrow casement or fixed windows combined in a gently-formed
arc. |
|
| Bay window-These units generally protrude
from the exterior wall and consist of a center fixed or picture
window and two operable flanking units on either side, angled
back toward the main wall. |
|
| Garden Window-These units, generally designed
to provide a location to grow plants, protrude from a wall and
generally feature a fixed window in the middle with two operable
flanking units, typically at a 90· angle to the wall.
Usually, the top of the window features sloped glass. |
|
| Hinged Doors-A variety of hinged door models
are available in in-swing and out-swing configurations. Hinged
doors are offered as single panels (typical in entry applications)
or in multi-panel configurations (typical in patio door applications).
French doors consist of a pair of operable panels hinged on
opposite sides that open in the middle. Hinged doors are also
commonly supplied in combinations of operable and nonoperable
panels. |
|
| Sliding Doors-Door panels slide horizontally
on a track to open. Because swinging doors require additional
space to allow the doors to open, sliding doors can be particularly
useful in homes where square footage is at a premium. [use photo:
