Window types are one of the many decisions you will have to make when installing windows. Wisconsin Energy Efficient installs many different types of windows including the following:

• Double-Hung Windows are said to have unique window design features because they allow the top pane to be opened while the bottom remains immovable. This means they are often found in children’s bedrooms where they allow good ventilation and ensure the safety of the room’s inhabitants. Their mix of security and ventilation means that double hung windows are also often found in offices and kitchens.
• Casement Windows are intended to be opened fully and let in a full complement of fresh air. When fixing the location of casement windows it is important to bear in mind that they crank open and do not slide, which means that they are easier to maneuver than many of the other types of windows.
• Slider or Gliding Windows are another type of window that caters to the particular needs of a casement windows. In locations where space is of a premium, this window type comes into its own. The sliding mechanism of the window means that they are easier to operate than crank-out windows and are perfect for those areas of a building that won’t permit a more space hungry window to be installed.
• Picture Windows are often used to give a building’s inhabitants unobstructed views of the outside and allow in the maximum quota of light. They are often found in rooms that have poor access to light and in hallways. They do not open and therefore are often positioned where light is a problem but ventilation not.
• Jalousie or Louvered Windows come complete with metal clips and glass slats. They allow a building’s inhabitants to control the amount of light admitted by rotating the open and close mechanism of the window.
• French Windows are more often than not found in sitting and living room areas because they give rooms a sense of spaciousness and have large panes.
• Hopper Windows have proved useful in basements because of their squat, oblong design. They maximize light, afford good ventilation and are amenable to a number of restricted room layouts.
• Sash Windows
• Bay or Bow Windows are an old classic and have been chosen down the years for their large, spacious panes that afford excellent lighting and give good and multiple views from their many angles. Bay windows are ideal for family rooms, living and sitting rooms and anywhere where a feeling of openness and brightness is important.
• Storm Windows
• Awning or Garden Windows are designed to be placed high on walls. They give light and facilitate circulation of air when positioned properly. They are especially useful for bedrooms where the competing claims of privacy and light need to be considered. They are designed to be cracked to a limited width, but do not open fully.

While many are familiar with overhead garage doors, other types include horizontal sliding doors and bifold doors. Popular materials for such doors include wood, steel and vinyl.
• Patio Doors When seeking out new patio doors, consider the space you are working with while you decide. Some types of patio doors such as sliding doors are suitable for small spaces, while an expansive pair of French-style patio doors can be used on a large patio.
• Storm Doors A storm door is an additional exterior door that is installed over the door built into the house. The purpose of a storm door is to act as insulation by trapping a layer of air between the regular door and the storm door. Adding a storm door may save energy because of its insulating qualities and also because a tight fitting seal on a storm door will cut down on air leakage. Storm doors are available as solid doors, or as doors with glass panels for visibility.
