The Different Types of Replacement Windows

Know What You Want

When replacing windows, pros can handle the hard work—but only you know the look and function you want. A basic swap is simple, but a full remodel invites creativity. Before diving in, it helps to understand the different window styles. Here’s a quick guide:

Double Hung Windows

A timeless, versatile option found in most homes. Both sashes move up and down and tilt in for easy cleaning. Great for airflow and boosting resale value.

Picture Windows

Large, fixed windows that don't open. Ideal for showcasing outdoor views and flooding rooms with natural light. Perfect for rooms with high ceilings or scenic views.

Casement Windows

Hinged on the side and operated with a crank, these windows swing open like a door. They work well in both modern and traditional homes but need good maintenance for insulation.

Bay Windows

Extend outward from the wall and usually feature a large center picture window flanked by two smaller ones. They add architectural interest and space for window seating.

Bow Windows

Similar to bay windows but with four or five equal-sized panels that form a subtle curve. They offer a softer look but tend to be more expensive.

Garden Windows

Small windows that pop out from the wall—like a mini greenhouse. Often found in kitchens above the sink, they’re perfect for plants and ventilation.

Sliding Windows

Open side-to-side instead of up and down. Easy to use and clean, they’re best for rooms with shorter walls and offer a great landscape view.

Awning Windows

Hinged at the top and open outward, making them ideal for rainy climates. They help keep moisture out while still allowing airflow.
