• The side-hung design is popular with traditional or modern homes. Here, the window hinges from the top and bottom, with the window handle on the side.

  • The profile's design can vary significantly, ranging from simple rectangular shapes to more intricate, ornate styles. Casement windows, for example, have a profile that allows them to swing open like a door, while sliding windows have a profile designed to move horizontally along a track. Bay and bow windows protrude from the exterior wall, creating an aesthetically pleasing curve or angle, and thus, require specialized profiles.
