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.
