Casement & Awning Windows

Triple casement windows in white with snowy winter view outside

Hinged on one side, casement windows swing outward with a crank — ideal for hard-to-reach spots like above kitchen sinks. They open wider than any other style, providing excellent ventilation, and are fantastic insulators when closed.

WINDOW TYPE

Double-Hung Windows

White double-hung windows with cottage grids on a residential porch

A classic choice — two sashes slide vertically past each other in a user-friendly frame. The upper sash lowers to draw hot air out, the lower lifts to bring cooler air in. Both sashes tilt inward for easy cleaning. Popular in both historic and modern homes.

Egress Windows

Large egress window providing emergency exit and light in basement

Required by code in finished basements and certain bedrooms, egress windows are large enough to serve as an emergency exit. We install egress windows that meet local building codes while maximizing light and ventilation in below-grade spaces.

Picture Windows

Floor-to-ceiling picture window wall in a log cabin great room with mountain views

Fixed (non-operable) windows that make the most of a view. Sleek, simple frames let in copious natural light. Because they don't open, picture windows offer excellent energy efficiency and can be made very large. Often paired with operable windows alongside them for ventilation.

WINDOW TYPE

Sliding Windows

Modern home exterior with black-frame sliding glass windows and covered patio

Horizontal sashes that glide smoothly to either side — like a double-hung window turned on its side. Large glass areas and a space-saving design make them ideal near patios and counters. Sashes lift or hinge out for easy cleaning from inside the home.

WINDOW TYPE

Single-Hung Windows

Traditional living room with brick wall and white-trimmed single-hung windows

The stationary upper sash and operable lower sash make single-hung windows a cost-effective and energy-efficient choice. The bottom sash tilts inward for cleaning. Ideal in bedrooms and high-traffic areas, and a great budget-friendly alternative to double-hung windows.

WINDOW TYPE

Transom Windows

Transom windows installed above main windows adding architectural detail

Installed above a door or main window, transoms let light and air in even when the main opening is closed. They add an architectural element that creates fullness between windows and high ceilings. Available in operable and fixed styles, and can be custom-shaped.
