Picture windows

If regular airflow is not your primary consideration, then picture windows are an excellent option as they offer an unobstructed, comprehensive view. It’s essentially a large glass that offers ample sunlight and broad views. However, it doesn’t open. 

These windows lose and gain heat quickly and hence are not energy efficient even with double pane construction.

Double and single-hung windows

Double and single-hung windows are incredibly popular among homeowners. They are traditional windows with two sashes—one at the top, the other at the bottom. 

In a single-hung window, only the bottom sash can move up and down; the top sash is stationary. Such windows are also called sash windows. Meanwhile, in double-hung windows, both the top and bottom sashes can slide up and down. 

Casement windows

These are commonly used over kitchen sinks. Older versions of these windows were difficult to open and close, but the recent styles come with an improved mechanism that makes them easy to operate. If you want plenty of natural light and ventilation in your kitchen, they’re a great option.

Bay or bow windows

Bay windows give you more interior space by using angles and projections. They allow light to enter at different eagles and hence are common in kitchens and living rooms. Most bays also have a side window to facilitate airflow and ventilation.

Awning windows

They allow a lot of natural light and airflow without any seasonal debris. Since they are vertically hinged at the top, you can install awning windows either on the top or alongside any window.

Slider windows

They are common in offices and other commercial buildings, where one side of a double window opens by sliding behind the other. They are now available in smaller sizes, making them more convenient for modern households.
