Awning Windows

The sash on an awning window is hinged at the top of the frame, and the bottom swings outward. Some awning windows are pushed open and pulled closed manually with a handle, while others are operated with a hand crank. Awning windows that are wider than they are tall are often installed higher up on a wall to preserve privacy or usable wall space. They can also be installed above doors or larger windows to improve ventilation, pull in more natural light, and maximize views.

Awning windows excel at bringing in a cool breeze and letting stagnant hot air flow out of a room. Because they open at the bottom, awning windows naturally shed water, so it may be possible to keep them open in wet weather. Like casements, awning window are energy efficient because the wind blowing on them can actually create a tighter seal.

Casement Window

Casement Windows

A casement window sash is hinged on the side and opens either to the left or the right. Some casement types are pushed open and pulled closed manually with a handle, but most are operated by a hand crank usually located on the lowest part of the window frame. Crank operated windows are a great option in kitchens and bathrooms where cabinets or a bathtub may prevent access to the upper portions of the window. This type of window typically has a modern aesthetic. A more traditional style can be achieved by adding divided lite bars, also known as window grids.

Because there is only one sash, casement windows can deliver large, uninterrupted expanses of glass. When closed, they prevent air infiltration better than any other type of operating window. When open, they are effective at capturing a breeze, and screens stay cleaner longer because they’re located on the inside of the glass. Also, when fully open, the sash on a casement window barely obstructs the opening. In the case of an emergency, this larger space allows residents to evacuate through a smaller rough opening than would be possible with other style windows.

Picture Window

Picture (Fixed, Panoramic) Windows

Picture windows are large fixed windows that create the effect of framing outdoor scenery like a picture frame. Because picture windows do not operate, they’re often paired with windows that do. Picture windows can be assembled with or without a sash. Windows without a sash, also called direct glaze windows, can provide larger unobstructed views.

With their large size, picture windows invite in expansive views and an abundance of warm, natural light. And because there are no moving parts, picture windows are more energy efficient than operating windows of a similar size. Recently, Marvin introduced a venting picture window. Its unique, forward thinking design delivers large unobstructed views but can also capture a breeze and provide all the health benefits associated with fresh air.

Single Hung Window

Single Hung Windows

A single hung window is virtually indistinguishable from a double hung window. Both have an upper and lower sash, and just like a double hung, a single hung window is easy to operate and provides a traditional aesthetic. The primary difference is that the top sash does not operate on a single hung window, while both sashes operate on a double hung.

A single hung window could be an ideal choice in areas where a top sash would be hard to reach. Because the top sashed is locked in place, single hung windows prevent more air infiltration and are more energy efficient. Also, single hung windows can be less expensive than double hung windows.

XO Window

Sliding XO Windows

Sliding windows, also called gliders, operate like double hung windows except the sashes move to the right and left instead of up and down. Sliding windows could have one or multiple operating sashes or be combined with picture windows. The operating sashes on sliding windows can either tilt in, swing in, or be removed for easy cleaning of both sides of the glass.

Sliding windows provide large unobstructed views, plenty of ventilation and are perfect for large horizontal spaces. And because sliding windows do not open out past the plane of the wall, they’re perfect for high traffic areas like decks, walkways or areas where landscaping may be positioned close to the house.
