8. Glider (like Slider) Sashes slide along horizontal guided tracks 50% ventilation from total opening Window Operations

9. Double-Hung Sashes slide along vertical guided tracks Sashes are held using counterweights pre-tensioned springs or friction 50% ventilation from total opening Window Operations

10. Jalousie Horizontal louvers that pivot together in a common frame Louvers can be glass or wood Very poor energy rating Common use in Florida or Three-Season rooms 90% ventilation from opening Window Operations

11. Different unit types can be assembled and cased to look like single unit Window Operations
