Window types
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, offering a clear view and ventilation from an operable sash.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, making them a useful option for ventilation in a range of rooms.
Slider Windows
Slider windows open horizontally along a track, providing ventilation without a sash swinging into the room or outdoors.
Bay Windows
Bay windows combine angled window sections that project beyond the exterior wall, creating a distinct focal point and bringing light into the room.
Bow Windows
Bow windows bring several window sections together in a gentle outward curve, creating a broad view and an architectural feature.
Door types
Entry Doors
An entry door helps shape the appearance and function of your home’s entrance. Choose a design, glass and hardware suited to the opening.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors connect indoor and outdoor spaces with glass panels that move along a track rather than swinging into the room.
Hinged Patio Doors
Hinged patio doors swing open to connect a room to a patio or garden and can be considered in single- or paired-door configurations.

Find a style that works for your space

| Style | How it works | Consider |
|---|---|---|
| Casement and awning windows | Open outward on side or top hinges. | Allow exterior clearance for the sash. |
| Slider windows | Move horizontally along a track. | Consider the available opening for ventilation. |
| Bay and bow windows | Window sections project beyond the wall. | Check exterior space and structural support. |
| Entry doors | A hinged exterior door gives access to the home. | Review the frame, swing, threshold and hardware. |
| Sliding patio doors | Glass panels move on a track. | Consider access, track and threshold. |
| Hinged patio doors | One or more panels swing open. | Leave room for the full swing. |

Repair or Replace?
Start by understanding the problem
The condition of the unit and surrounding opening helps determine which options are practical.
Drafts and gaps
We can check seals and fit and discuss where unwanted air movement may be coming from.
Sticking and hardware
Worn parts, alignment or damage can affect operation; the cause needs to be assessed first.
Moisture and frame condition
Condensation and water around a frame can have different causes. Tell us where and when you notice it.
