Casement Windows
A casement window is a form of window which hinges on its side. Unlike traditional single or double-hung windows that slide upward, casement windows swing outward, allowing a great amount of ventilation. Some casement windows are simply pushed open, but most have a hand crank.
Double Hung Windows
Much like a single hung window, the Double Hung Window operates the same way except that both sashes on the window are able to move so you can have ventilation on both the top and bottom of the window at the same time.
Bay Windows
A bay window’s overall structure consists of a picture window with two other windows, usually smaller, on either side. They offer more space inside the home as well. We are experts at installing Bay Windows at Conservation Construction of Dallas.
Bow Windows
A bow window is an arc-shape window structure with at least 4 windows that are usually casement windows. Bow windows are a real statement piece in a home.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are named because they have fixed panes with low profile frames to maximize your view. Since they’re fixed panes they remain stationary, and can’t move or open.
Slider Windows
A sliding window is often described as a single hung window placed on its side. They can open from the side to provide a wide view of your surroundings. Slider windows can also come with a variety of customization, from grids to personalized interior and exterior colors.
Single Hung Windows
A single-hung window, also known as a single-sash window, is a type of window with a lower, operable sash and an upper, fixed sash. This means that the bottom part of the window slides up and down, while the top part remains stationary. Single-hung windows provide ventilation through the bottom sash. They are more cost-effective than a double-hung window.
Garden Windows
Garden windows let in a lot of light and provide a space for indoor gardening in all seasons. They’re especially popular in cooler climates.
