Vinyl window lineup

Nine ways to shape light, air and view.

Every style below includes a clear operating explanation. Final sizes, hardware, handing and available combinations are confirmed for the individual project.

Side-hinged

Casement Window

A clean, contemporary choice that opens outward and can capture generous ventilation without interrupting the glass area.

How it opensThe sash is hinged on one side and opens outward, normally using a crank-style operator.
Where it fitsWell suited to taller openings, living spaces and rooms where controllable ventilation matters.
Planning noteLeft- or right-hand operation, screen and hardware finish are confirmed for the final opening.

Top-hinged

Awning Window

A compact operating style that projects outward from the bottom, making it useful on its own or paired with fixed glass.

How it opensThe sash is hinged across the top and the lower edge moves outward.
Where it fitsUseful for wider, shorter openings, higher wall locations and combinations beneath or beside fixed units.
Planning noteClearance outside the wall, screen choice and operator position are reviewed before ordering.

Non-operating

Fixed Casement

A stationary glazed unit with a casement-style profile, designed to align visually with nearby operating casements.

How it opensIt does not open; the glass remains fixed inside the coordinated frame profile.
Where it fitsIdeal where daylight and matching sightlines are wanted but ventilation is handled by another unit.
Planning noteOften combined with operating casements to create a balanced multi-window composition.

Non-operating

Picture Window

A large fixed opening that prioritizes daylight and the view with no operating sash or visible operating hardware.

How it opensIt is permanently fixed and is not intended to provide ventilation.
Where it fitsBest where a broad view, strong daylight and a simple architectural frame are the priorities.
Planning noteCan stand alone or anchor a combination with casement, awning or other operating units.

One sliding sash

Single Slider

A low-profile horizontal window with one moving sash and one fixed section, designed for straightforward side-to-side operation.

How it opensOne sash travels horizontally along the frame while the companion section remains fixed.
Where it fitsWorks naturally in wider openings and locations where an outward-projecting sash is not preferred.
Planning noteThe operating side, screen arrangement and cleaning features depend on the selected configuration.

Moving lower sash

Single Hung

A familiar vertical format that keeps the upper section fixed while allowing the lower sash to move upward.

How it opensThe lower sash moves vertically inside the frame; the upper sash remains fixed.
Where it fitsSuited to traditional proportions, bedrooms and openings where horizontal space is limited.
Planning noteTilt-in cleaning, screen coverage and balance hardware vary by the selected window system.

Three-section slider

End Vent Slider

A wide configuration that preserves a large centre view while adding sliding ventilation at both ends.

How it opensThe narrower left and right end sashes slide horizontally; the broad centre panel remains fixed.
Where it fitsDesigned for wide wall openings where a central view and ventilation from both sides are desired.
Planning noteSlider direction, removable sashes, screens and centre-panel proportions are confirmed for the order.

Three-panel projection

Bay Window

A strong architectural projection that adds depth inside the room through a broad centre window and two angled side sections.

How it opensThe centre is commonly fixed; the angled side units may be fixed or operable depending on the chosen design.
Where it fitsIdeal for creating a focal point, a deeper interior sill and views in more than one direction.
Planning noteProjection depth, roof and base construction, support, grilles and flank operation require project measurements.

Five-section projection

Bow Window

Multiple joined sections create a gentler curved projection and a wide, panoramic connection between the room and the outdoors.

How it opensOperating sections can be incorporated among the joined units; the exact locations depend on the final configuration.
Where it fitsBest for feature elevations, expanded views and rooms that benefit from a softer projection than a bay.
Planning notePanel count, frame colour, projection, support and operating units are finalized after site measurement.

Glass options

Build the glass package around the home.

Compare clear, Low-E and solar-control, triple-pane and laminated-security glazing. Each option solves a different performance need, and the final glass-and-frame system is selected for the opening and project.

Readable glass guide

Four parts of the glass package

PanesTwo or three panes create one or two sealed insulating spaces.
Low-E coatingA thin coating helps manage radiant heat transfer while preserving useful daylight.
Spacer and gasThe edge spacer and specified gas fill form part of the sealed insulating unit.
Laminated layerA bonded interlayer can retain broken fragments and support a tested security configuration.

Clear Glass

A clear insulated-glass unit uses two sealed panes with an air or gas space between them. Compared with a single pane, this construction can improve thermal comfort and reduce some outdoor noise while maintaining a clear, neutral appearance.

Important: without a Low-E coating, clear glass provides less control of radiant heat transfer and solar gain.
Confirm: pane thickness, spacing, gas fill, frame, installation and whole-window U-factor.

Low-E & Solar-Control Glass

A microscopically thin Low-E coating reduces radiant heat transfer through the sealed glass unit. In winter it helps retain interior heat; in summer, a suitable solar-control coating can limit unwanted exterior heat while preserving useful daylight.

Solar performance: higher-, moderate- and lower-solar-gain coatings are selected for climate, orientation and shading.
Additional benefit: many Low-E packages also reduce UV transmission associated with fading of fabrics and finishes.

Triple Glass

Three panes create two sealed insulating spaces and can provide higher thermal resistance than a comparable double-pane unit. Low-E coatings and insulating gas fills can further reduce heat flow and improve year-round interior comfort.

Comfort: warmer interior glass in winter can reduce cold-window discomfort and improve condensation resistance.
Solar control: coatings manage—not eliminate—solar gain; confirm U-factor, SHGC, weight and hardware compatibility.

Security Laminated Glass

Two or more glass plies are bonded to a durable interlayer designed to help retain broken fragments after impact. Specialized laminated make-ups can also support a security plan.

Security role: tested configurations may help delay penetration or forced entry.
Confirm: threat level, glass build-up, framing, anchorage and complete-system test rating.
