Replacement Window Styles


The most common type of replacement window is the double hung window. This window allows you to open either the top sash(slides down) or the bottom sash (slides up) or a combination of both.This window is available with double or triple pane glass. You can also obtain the same look with a single hung window. However, the single hung window will only allow you to open the bottom sash.

A casement window has a more contemporary look. This window is hinged on either the right or left side and opens outward. It is operated by a hand crank. This window is also available in double or triple pane glass.

A sliding or rolling window looks similar to a casement window. The rolling window slides left or right within the window frame itself. It operates just like a sliding patio door operates.
