Replacement windows in Wilmington DE are real appeal boosters. There are several window types, each with their own design advantages. Each window type can stand alone beautifully or be combined with others.
Basic Window Types
Double-hung windows are made up of two sashes—an upper and a lower sash. Both sashes can be lifted up or pushed down, depending on how they are configured. A glider also has two sashes—one fixed and one that can be slid to another side. Think of it as a horizontal double-hung, but with only one sash operable.
A casement window looks like a miniature glass door. They’re side-hinged and swing open with a handle. The French casement is a popular variation. It has two operable sashes—one hinged on the left side of the frame and another on the right. Awning windows look like horizontal casements. They have cranks too, but they swing upward instead of sideways.
A picture (or fixed) window doesn’t open at all. Bay windows generally have three sides. They’re used in a boxy area that protrudes from an exterior wall. Bow windows are similar, but they have four or more sides and form a curved shape.
