Types of Replacement Windows for Your Home
2
There is a wide assortment of different types of
replacement windows for your Ottawa home. It is
worth your time to consider which styles will not
only provide the perfect aesthetics to the homes
appearance, but also which ones will suit your
needs and requirements.

1. Single Hung Windows
This style of window is one of the most popular.
It is where the lower section of the window slide
open while the top section remains in place.
4
These windows operate much like single hung
windows, with one big difference The interior
sash (lower portion) of the window lifts out for
easy cleaning on both sides of the window.
2. Single Lift-Out Slider Windows
5
This style is similar to the single lift-out
slider windows, with an added bonus The
exterior sash (upper portion) also lifts out for
easy cleaning.
3. Double Lift-Out Slider Windows
6
This type of replacement window is similar to
classic sliding windows and offers easy tilting
of the interior sash for easy cleaning and also
includes a half screen on the lower section,
which can also be removed from inside the home.
4. Single Tilt Slider Windows
7
Both the upper and lower sections of the windows
will slide and there are screens on both sashes
you can easily remove from inside the home.
5. Double Tilt Slider Windows
8
This style is similar to single hung windows,
yet is double in size since there are two
windows, along with movable lower sections on
both.
 6. Double Hung Windows
9
For larger openings, or in cases where you may
have two or three single or double type windows
all located closely together, bay windows offer
an ideal replacement option when you want a
larger viewing area.
7. Bay Windows
10
This style features side hinges so you can
easily open them to vent horizontally by using a
smooth turning handle. Plus, you can open these
types of windows on rainy days, as they open
outward and will keep the rain out.
8. Awning Windows
11
These windows are well suited for areas where
you do not have large openings, like along the
foundation for basement windows or when you want
a window in the bathroom.
9. Casement Windows
12
Please keep in mind not all of the above styles
may be coampatible with your home. For instance,
if you have traditional single hung windows, with
a vertical installation,
13
a horizontal single lift-out slider window would
not work in the existing space, without some
alterations. However, you could opt for a
vertically installed single lift-out slider
window if that is the style you like the best.
14
Each of the above replacement windows is offered
in a variety of standard and custom colours so
they can be easily matched with any home.
15
There are also decorative brick molds options you
can add to the exterior of the window to enhance
its appearance. In addition, you can choose from
several styles of glass finishes and energy
efficiency glass.
