New windows improve your family’s quality of life by increasing natural light, improving ventilation, retaining more heat in winter, blocking damaging UV rays, enhancing your home’s value and curb appeal, and – dare we say – by bringing you a little more joy.
We know there is a lot of information out there, which is why our friendly, non-commissioned staff is happy to discuss your project and help you determine the option that meets your needs. From wood, to vinyl and aluminum, our windows employ the newest technologies in energy efficiency and durability, and will perform for decades to come.

Styles We Carry
Gliding Windows
Gliding windows have one or two sashes that slide horizontally to open.
Inspiring Examples

Gliding windows with one sash filling half the width of the frame are generally referred to as “half vent” gliding or sliding windows (sometimes indicated as “XO” or “OX” windows where the “X” denotes the operable half of the window viewed from the exterior and “O” symbolizes the stationary half).
Windows with one sash that is less than half the width of the frame are called “single vent” gliding windows.
Windows with two operable sashes are generally referred to as “XOX” windows.
Hung Windows
Hung windows refer to a style of windows that slide vertically to open.

Windows with only an operable bottom sash are called “single-hung”, and windows with both upper and lower sashes operable are “double-hung”.
Casement Windows
Casement windows have hinges on one side of their frame and open outward. Window operation can be performed manually (pushing or pulling), mechanically (with a crank operator), or electronically (with a built-in motor).

The term “French casement windows” refers to two casement windows in the same frame, with one left hand hinge and one right hand hinge. Many manufacturers now use a nesting style of operator hardware that folds away to avoid interference with blinds or curtains.
Important to Know

Casement windows do not have rails like gliding or hung windows, so you will have an unobstructed view. They are also typically more weather-tight than gliding or hung windows.
Awning Windows
Awning windows swing open via top hinges. They operate with manual, mechanical, or electrical operating options.
Inspiring Examples

With sash hinges at the top of the frame, and the operator at the bottom of the frame, locks are most often located on both sides of the frame.
Important to Know

Awning windows share the ability of casement windows to resist strong weather. However, they generally cannot be used for meeting egress specifications because they do not open wide enough.
Tilt Turn Windows
Tilt turn windows have the convenience of two window styles built into one frame: they can be used as a tilt-in hopper window (hinged at the bottom), or you can swing the window open into your house, just like a door (hinged at the side).
Inspiring Examples
Important to Know
The “hopper” function allows you to have increased ventilation with added security, because it limits the opening distance of the window; while the side hinges allow the window to be opened wide, making it a great option for emergency exits, and allowing easy cleaning.
Picture Windows
Rectangular windows consisting of one large pane of glass that does not open.
Inspiring Examples
Geometric Windows
When your design calls for a window shape other than rectangular, we are here to help. Most window manufacturers that we partner with produce a variety of shapes and sizes, such as triangles, trapezoids, and radius style (windows with curves on some or all sides).
Inspiring Examples
Brands We Carry
