1. TOPIC:TYPES OF WINDOWS
PRESENTED BY KHADIJA JAVED

2. Single-Hung Windows:
Window basics: Single-hung windows look a
lot like double-hung windows, but have one
major distinction: they only open from the
bottom.
Pros :They're less expensive than double-hung
windows, but have almost identical curb
appeal value. There's no problem with
slippage since they only open from the
bottom.
Cons: Single-hung windows don't allow the
same type of natural air circulation that a
double-hung unit can provide.

3. Double-Hung Windows
The window consists of a lower and an upper
movable panel, which each work
independently of one another.
Pros: Easy cleaning, window creates a natural
ventilation cycle, and bottom can remain
closed while the top opened for air when in
kids’ rooms.
Cons: Energy efficiency is low.

4. Casement Windows
These are some of the most popular
constructions today as they are difficult for
children to open and add traditional charm.
Pros: Excellent ventilation, low leakage rate,
strong noise reductions, and cranks make them
easy to maneuver.
Cons: Blocks walkways and decks when open,
large windows are difficult to operate, and the
hardware needs to be maintained.

5. Awning Windows
These are the most functional class of windows,
and they are often used to ventilate difficult
spaces. They typically come in four types: the top
hinge window, the hopper window, the jalousie
window, and the transom window.
Pros: Can be left open during the rain, lets hot air
out, and gives privacy.
Cons: Too small for large ventilation and brings in
dust.

6. Fixed & Picture Windows
Windy cities, harsh environments, and beautiful
views are what these windows are made for.
Picture windows are completely airtight and are
often used in homes that require special design
requirements such as rounded windows or corner
windows.
Pros: No drafts, high-energy efficiency, no view
obstructions, and flexible.
Cons: No ventilation, difficult to clean, and
vulnerable to breakage.

7. Transom Window
A narrow window that can be either operating to
let in air or non-operating (stationary) and
mounted above a door or window to let in more
light
Pros: Most transoms are for decorative purposes,
or to let light into a room, but they can also serve
as ventilation when installed or modified properly.
Cons :No ventilation because transom windows
are normally fixed- they don’t open and close –
they don’t offer any natural ventilation. Cleaning
the exterior of the window can be cleaned only
from the outside.

8. Horizontal Slider
it opens by sliding left or right. Because they offer a large expanse
of glass that can still be opened and closed, they're sometimes
used in areas where homeowners want the view to be maximized.
Pros : If properly maintained, they're simple to open and close.
They're easy to find in sizes to meet egress requirements on local
building codes, and they can maximize views.
Cons : : Some people feel horizontal slider windows aren't a very
sophisticated or aesthetically appealing choice, especially for high-
end homes. Also, while they're easier to operate than single- or
double-hung windows, they do still require some strength to open

9. Stationary Windows
These windows do not open, but they can be customized in
nearly any angle or shape you desire. They are often found
in modern- or contemporary-style houses in conjunction
with operating windows.
Pros: They provide a much larger view of outdoor scenery
than smaller windows that open and close. They’re a great
addition to homes in need of natural light, and they make
small rooms look much larger by connecting them to the
outside.
Cons: There are some issues to be careful of when it comes
to stationary windows. Without heavy, dark curtains, it’s
very difficult to shut the light out of a room,

10. Bay windows
Bay windows offer romance, style, and grace
in any room. They are mostly used in cozy
kitchen, reading rooms, and the occasional
bedroom.
Pros: Multiple views, adds high decorative
value, and still allows air circulation through
the side windows.
Cons: Usually doesn’t come with screens.

11. Skylight
Window A skylight is a fixed- or casement-
style window installed into a ceiling area.
Where you'll find them: Skylights can be
added to any room with a straight shot to
the roof of the home. They work well in
rooms where light is inhibited because of
overhangs, other buildings or lack of an
exterior wall.

12. Pros: Some skylights can now be customized with integrated remote-controlled
blinds, and advances in heat-resistant coatings mean they're less likely to turn
your home into an oven than ever before. they are excellent sources of light
throughout the day. Casement-window-based skylights can be opened and
closed for room ventilation.
Cons :Being on the roof slope of a home makes skylights more prone to
damage from hail or weather-related debris than other windows in your home.
Skylights that don't have energy efficient coatings can create heat traps in
rooms. Older units may be prone to leaks. Capturing direct light when the sun
is at high points can increase UV-related fading on interior furnishings.

13. Decorative Glass Windows
Decorative glass (also called "art glass") is often thought
of as something found only on inoperable picture-style
windows. And while that's true for vintage and salvage
period glass and stained glass, today's decorative glass
can be found on many types of windows
Pros: Art glass can reinforce a home's style in a clear but
subtle way. Art and stained glass windows can add color
and light to a room while giving occupants more privacy.
Decorative glass windows are often custom items, which
gives the home a personal touch
Cons : Like any other prominent decorative item, overuse
can be visually jarring.
