DOUBLE HUNG
 The Primary feature in Double Hung Windows is that both window sashes operate vertically, as compared to Single Hung Windows, where the bottom sash is the only operational section. The appearance of the Double Hung Window is stacked, so that both sashes can slide past each other. The name "Double Hung" comes from the design of both sashes being hung from ropes that are counter-balanced with weights. The glass openings in the upper and lower sash are typically of equal size. The ability to open both sashes creates cross ventilation, where the warm air exits through the top opening and the cooler air enters through the bottom opening. 

The primary feature in DoubleSliding Windowsis that it has two sashes, framed side by side and functions with both sashes sliding horizontally. Double Sliding Windows are versatile and create a viable alternative for space restrictions, where the width exceeds the height of the opening. Double Sliding Windows typically come in two panels, however they are also
available with three panels. Double Sliding Windows are sometimes referred to as "Sliders" or "Gliders". Double Sliders also allow both panels to open simultaneously, creating cross ventilation.

   CASEMENT

The primary feature in Casement Windowsis that they are hinged on the sides of the frame and open from the side, usually to the exterior. Casement Windows that swing outwardly are typically the most energy efficient of window styles since the sash closes by securing firmly against the frame of the window. Another benefit of an outward opening Casement Window is that the ventilation or air passage is significantly improved due to the various angles of openings that can be obtained, thereby maximizing the ventilation. Screens are typically used on the interior of Casement Windows.

 BAY

The primary feature in Bay Windowsis that three or more windows are joined together, usually at 30 degree or 45 degree angles. The center section of a Bay Window is typically stationary, with either Casement Windows or Double Hung Windows on the two side panels adjoining the center window. The center section of the Bay Window can also be configured to be operational, along with the windows flanking both sides. The three dimensional effect of the Bay Window creates a unique appearance.

BOW

A bow window is a curved bay window. Bow windows are designed to create space by projecting beyond the exterior wall of a building, and to provide a wider view of the garden or street outside, and typically combine four or more casement windows, which join together to form an arch.

GARDEN

Designed much like a bay or bow window, a garden also extends from the wall to the exterior of the home. It is built in a square or rectangular shape at right angles. The two side lights often operate for added ventilation.

LOW E ARGON

Reducing an electric bill is not only good for a homeowner, but for the environment as well. Whether your interior climate is at odds with the freezing temperatures of winter or the stifling heat of the summer, low-E (low-emessivity) argon windows can significantly reduce the amount of electricity used in your home.

Function

Benefits

1. Between each pane of glass, low-E argon windows contain argon gas. Argon gas is considerably more effective at reflecting heat than regular air. This means that unwanted heat is deterred from entering the home and interior heat is prevented from leaving. Whether in spring, summer, fall or winter, the result is a more stable climate within the home.

Considerations

1. The glass in low-E argon windows also features a special glazing that further reduces heat loss. This low-E glazing is often referred to as a pyrolitic, and features unique properties that allow visible light to penetrate into your home while blocking UV light and infrared (IR) light.

Types

1. Low-E argon windows can be tailored to deliver either a high or low solar gain. High-solar-gain windows are ideal for homes that are situated in cold climates. Low-solar-gain windows provide superior results in hot climates.

Expert Insight

1. The technologies involved in low-E argon windows result in a steeper price tag than that carried by traditional, single-pane windows. However, the extent of the savings on the homeowner's electric bill often results in net savings in the long run. If you plan on staying in your home for several years, the initial investment in low-E argon windows may be well worth the extra money.
