Window Technologies: Operating Types

Casement	Awning	Hopper	Slider	Double Hung

When you select a window, there are numerous operating types to consider. Traditional operable window types include the projected or hinged types such as casement, awning, and hopper, and the sliding types such as double- and single-hung and horizontal sliding. In addition, the current window market includes storm windows, sliding and swinging patio doors, skylights and roof-mounted (i.e., sloping) windows, and window systems that can be added to a house to create bay or bow windows, miniature greenhouses, or full sun rooms.
