Picture Windows

If you know your windows will be going onto tall spaces, there’s nothing better than picture windows. These windows do not open so they won’t add to ventilation, but they look absolutely amazing in many spaces. For a floor-to-ceiling window design, picture windows are often placed over windows that can be opened.

These windows come in various sizes and offer tons of natural light. They also provide great energy efficiency and security since they do not open.

Bay and Bow Windows

Bay and bow windows give you an excellent view of the outdoors and provide the feeling of a larger space. These are great for smaller rooms where the extra room lets you do additional things. The windows can be used as seats or even mini offices. 

Both of these styles let you choose the projection and configuration that you like the most. It opens up the room, lets in sunlight, offers great views, and makes a bedroom or other space more functional.

Sliding Sunroom Windows

Sliding windows differ from typical casement windows in that there’s no need for extra space to operate them. A sliding window moves on a track from one side to the other. This makes them popular in areas that overlook walkways and decks. 

These windows maximize space both inside and outside, but that isn’t their only benefit. They also are very simple to operate and provide ventilation so you can enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice outside. 

Another option similar to these is a double-hung window. They move up or down with two sashes that overlap each other.
