Windows Basics

Below are all the major types of windows.

Awning Windows

Awning windows are hinged at the top and crank from the bottom of the sash to open outward. 

Basement Windows

Basement replacement windows, also called Hopper windows, open inward from the top and are typically installed in basement applications.

Bay Windows

Bay vinyl replacement windows consist of three windows in a single frame. The center lite is always twice as wide as the sidelites, which may consist of two operable casements or double hung windows.

Bow Windows

Bow replacement windows consist of 3, 4 or 5 windows in a single frame. All of the windows are equal size and provide a circular arch appearance.

Casement Windows

Casement replacement windows are hinged on the left or right and crank outward to a full 90-degree swing.

Double Hung Windows

Double hung replacement windows feature movable upper and lower sashes that tilt inward for easy cleaning.

Single Hung Windows

Single hung replacement windows feature a fixed top sash and movable bottom sash that tilts inward for easy cleaning.

Windows

Homeowners like you have many reasons for choosing replacement windows for their home: low maintenance, lighting, ventilation and decorative flair. However, a window's function does not end there. Well-designed windows provide warmth during winter's chilly days and keep your home cool during summer's intense heat.

The Double Hung Series of vinyl windows are available in a variety of styles--with options to fit every budget. Standard features, including precision engineered frames and sashes, provide added insulation. Optional high-performance, insulating glass packages, designed specifically for your climate, provide increased R-Values, improving the comfort of your home, while saving you money on heating and cooling bills. They are also better for the environment because lowering your energy use means less air pollution from power plants. Additionally, our windows are backed by one of the industry's strongest lifetime warranties.

Enjoy an expansive view of the outdoors with a Slider Window. Mounted on brass wheels, each panel glides easily along its track, enabling you to effortlessly open your window and enjoy fresh air.

Other specialty styles, such as the Awning and Basement Windows, offer you worry-free ventilation even on rainy days. For added safety and security, consider replacing ground-surface windows with a Basement Window featuring shatter-resistant Exolite.

Searching for a sleek, classic look to accentuate the architecture of your home? Casement Windows are the way to go. Designed with a refrigerator-like seal, the Casement style provides superior protection against the extremes of wind and cold. Concealed hinge hardware, engineered to provide smooth and virtually effortless sash operation, enables your window to open past 90 degrees for easy cleaning and maximum ventilation. For added security, our casements feature a multi-point locking system. Stylish folding handles are available to provide extra room for window treatments. Add one of our optional high-performance glass packages to maximize your home's energy savings.

Bay and Bow Windows bring a richness to your home no other window can match. Run your fingers over the smooth, hand-sanded furniture grade finish of either the birch or optional oak veneer.

While other bay and bow windows allow water, dust and grime to collect on the outside sill, Thermal Industries' Over-the-Edge design keeps your exterior surfaces cleaner. Comfort, energy savings and style are built into all of our Bay and Bow windows.

Roofing

Premium fiberglass-based asphalt shingles provide a dimensional thickness that enhances the rough-hewn, random-cut appearance, texture and profile of classic wood shakes. They are equally at home on any dwelling, from rustic country casual to urban sophisticated styles. At a price that's much more comfortable than real wood shakes.

Architectural Shingles are laminated to provide a remarkable dimensional thickness, not only for strength, durability, and weather resistance, but also to create an extraordinarily beautiful look for your home. They are manufactured in a larger size with more exposure to create a high definition "shake" look for you roof. Its double layer construction, using an extra-heavy fiberglass mat and tough modified sealant, provides superior durabilty and wind resistance. These shingles are surprisingly affordable and are the perfect choice to protect and beautify your home.
