There are many different types of windows available, from double-hung and Palladian to fanlight to name just a few. Most designs are based on a few common styles. When choosing windows for your home remodeling project, there are several other factors to consider (which we'll examine in later posts) like double or triple pane glass, low-e, and other factors.
Double Hung Windows
This is probably the most common type of window used on residential architecture. Double hung windows offer the most flexibility when it comes to opening or closing them. There are two moving parts, or sashes that slide up and down a rail to open or close the window.
Fanlight Windows
A fanlight window is a semi-circular window that is traditionally found over an exterior doorway. First made popular in Georgian England, the fanlight was designed to let light into dark entry hallways.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are extremely practical and highly functional. They open by sliding along a track and come as both single hung and double hung models. They are perfect for modern homes because they tend to feature simple lines and large plain panes of glass.
Casement Windows
Usually rectangular in shape, casements come in a number of different framing options making it possible to find the right look in all but the most contemporary or modern style homes.
