Awning Windows
Style and Functionality in One Window
Awning windows are a great choice in hard-to-reach places. They can be operated either by pushing them outward or by a hand crank, but since they are hinged along the top when they are opened, they create an awning over the window opening. This design means that awning windows can be opened even while it’s raining, keeping you dry while you enjoy increased airflow. Some of our awning windows are even available without a crank, enabling easy push operation in any space.
Casement Windows
Get Better Views and Ventilation
Casement windows are designed to create maximum ventilation and a large, unobstructed view. They are hinged along the side of the window and when operated open outward. Not only does this provide a great view, with most of the sash out of sight, but it also makes the window have a sail shape, which promotes a current of air to move through the window opening and into your home. Many types also include a hand crank, so operating a casement window is effortless even if they’re placed in hard-to-reach areas, like behind a sink. We also offer designs that can be opened with a push.
Gliding Windows
Effortless Operation, Even in Tight Spaces
Gliding windows are designed to be operated effortlessly. They glide along a track so that the sashes stand behind each other when opened. This means that they stay flush with the wall and have a full, top-to-bottom opening. These features make gliding windows a great choice for rooms that face patios, porches, and walkways. And, since they’re designed, our gliding windows are durable enough to last for years, with industry-leading warranties to back them up.
Picture Windows
Expansive Views and Energy Efficiency
Picture windows are one of the simplest types of windows since they are designed to be completely stationary. This means that they can be large and expansive, offering unparalleled views and opening up large sections of your home that used be opaque walls. And while huge glass windows used to be a burden when it came to homeowner’s heating and cooling
bills, modern technology enables them to be surprisingly energy efficient. You can have beautiful views without paying exorbitant yearly energy bills.
Single Hung Windows
Classic Appeal With Today’s Tech
Single-hung windows are what many people imagine when they envision windows. Featuring one stationary sash and one moveable sash, they can be opened to promote ventilation without obstructing views. Single-hung windows are a great choice because they are usually more affordable than other window types while still allowing plenty of customization and airflow. Their stationary sash also means that they can often be more long-lasting than other types of windows since they have fewer moving
parts. The stationary sash is also completely factory-sealed, so there is less of a chance for drafts to develop over time.
Double Hung Windows
Open Up the Possibilities
Double-hung windows are great because each sash is mounted
independently, so you can open them any way that you please. If you’d like a clear view out of the top, simply slide the top sash down. If you find yourself getting better airflow from the bottom sash, open it upwards. Even better, double-hung windows fit in with any classic or contemporary scheme with their timeless design. And, even with their classic designs, with modern Andersen windows, you can rest assured that your new windows will still perform wonderfully, with fantastic energy efficiency and durable, high-tech finishes.
