  • Double-Hung Windows: This classic option features two sashes that slide vertically, providing excellent ventilation and easy cleaning. With a timeless appearance, they can suit almost any home style.
  • Casement Windows: These windows are hinged on one side and open outward, allowing for excellent airflow and unobstructed views.
  • Awning Windows: Hinged at the top, awning windows open outward, creating an awning-like effect. They're perfect for keeping out rain while still allowing fresh air inside.
  • Bay Windows: These windows extend outward from the home, creating additional space and providing a panoramic view. Bay windows are excellent for small rooms, as they can make the area feel larger and brighter.
  • Picture Windows: While these windows don’t open, they are exceptional at bringing in natural light and making your space feel larger.
