Window types

	Types of windows available There are many types of windows available. Following are just a few you can choose from: Bay windows are usually made up of at least three windows. The center window may be stationary with the two side units moveable; or all three (or more windows) may be stationary. One distinctive look would be to project the side windows out from the exterior, possibly at 30, 45 or 90 degree angles. One type of window provides for low rates of air leakage. This would be the awning type window. This characteristic includes a top hinge that opens outwards. The sash then closes by pressing against the window frame. Screens would need to be placed on the interior of the window frame with the awning type window. Windows based on a side hinge are called casement windows. The benefits of using casement windows include: low air leakage, a sash that closes by pressing to the frame and interior placed screens. Better ventilation is a benefit too since casement windows project outward. Double hung windows contain a feature to slide each sash vertically. The level of ventilation is controlled from a small opening to one half of the total glass dimension. Screens may be placed either on the inside or outside of the window frame. However, with Single hung windows, only the bottom sash will slide. The most fundamental window is the fixed frame window. These windows are generally inoperable or non-venting. Both sashes slide horizontally with Double-Sliding windows, whereas with single sliding windows, only one sash will slide. The ventilation area can be adjusted and screens can be placed on the inside or outside, as with double and single hung windows. __________________________________________________________________________ Vinyl windows here \| Terms and conditions \| Vinyl window resources vinyl windows guide \| vinyl windows reference \| replacement vinyl windows \| vinyl window information \| sources for home related Copyright supervinylwindows.com.
