Infographic - What's to know about window styles

Intro image for infographic on window styles
Window style isn’t just about looks—it’s about functionality and performance. We're talking about how your window operates: casement, awning, hung, and more. Unlike aesthetic styles like Colonial or Victorian, or materials like vinyl and wood, window styles are all about how they open, close, and interact with your home.

For example, hung windows slide vertically, while casement windows swing outward. Choosing the right window style can improve energy efficiency, maximize ventilation, and even boost your home’s value. Factors like location, functionality, and personal preferences all come into play, and each style offers its own unique pros and cons.

Check out our window styles infographic for guidance on selecting the perfect fit for your home’s needs. Want to see these styles in action?
