All You Need to Know About Windows for Your Home

Windows actually, keep out sound. They form a sound barrier against
the outside. Houses have windows to allow fresh air into the area and
to improve ventilation - imagine living in a house with no windows; it
would be harder to breathe every minute.  Houses have windows for
many practical and decorative reasons.

TYPES OF WINDOWS

FIXED WINDOWS

Fixed windows are those windows with no openings and these are best
in spaces where little or no extra ventilation is required.

SLIDING WINDOWS

These windows have sashes that slightly overlap each other, while
moving on a fixed horizontal frame. These are best suited for
residential and commercial spaces where space saving is a must. They
offer convenience and space

BAY WINDOWS
These windows protrude out of the main walls of a room, creating a
hollow bay. They are the best suited for spacious rooms with high
ceilings that offer a good scenic view and also, add a touch of
elegance to the room.

TILT AND TURN WINDOWS

These windows can tilt inwards for protection against rain and swing in
like a casement window with the help of their side hinges. They are
best suited when you need the slight ventilation but without the
outside weather elements affecting your home.

SINGLE AND DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS
Single hung windows are fixed at the top but the bottom slides up and
down like a traditional sash window. Double-hung windows, on the
other hand, have a fixed bottom but can be opened at the top.
