Windows

Window Definitions

These are the basic types of windows we carry from Marvin, Pella & Sunrise Windows.

Double Hung A window with two vertical operating sashes that glide up and down.

Glider Windows Windows with a horizontally sliding sash that, yes, glides. This incredibly easy operating window is one of our best values and best sellers.

Casemasters and Awnings Windows that open and close using a crank handle, with the Casemaster swinging out from the side and the Awning swinging open at the bottom. French Casemasters have two sash opening from the middle to offer an uninterrupted view.

Multiple Assemblies This rather oblique term is an industry word for windows that are connected to form the appearance of a single window. Simple window shapes can be put together to create nearly limitless window combinations that are anything but standard. Bows and bays are good examples.

Tilt Turn and Hopper Windows that open two ways: swinging in like a door, or tilting in at the top for ventilation.

Bow and Bay Window Bay windows are multiple assembly windows that are usually made from two Casemasters or two Double Hungs angled from a picture window, or the arc of windows to create a bow.

Round Top One of Marvin's trademarks, these curved or circular windows can still have high-performance glazing and clad exterior options.

Polygon and Special Shapes Marvin can make windows in nearly any geometric shape-octagon, trapezoid, triangles and more, whether used alone or added to an assembly of other windows.
