If you\u2019re getting new ones installed, your options give you a blank canvas to work from. Here\u2019s our rundown of the main types of windows you\u2019ll encounter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Sash windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sash windows are divided into two separate windows, one above the other. But look closely and you\u2019ll see the top one isn\u2019t <em>directly <\/em>on top of the lower one \u2013 it\u2019s offset a little so it can slide past the lower one as it opens. A system of weights, springs or spirals keep it where you left it, so it can be anywhere from open just a few centimetres to fully open without gravity bringing it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sash-window-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of sash windows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Single-hung sash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this type, only one window moves and the other is fixed. Usually, it\u2019s the bottom window that moves while the top one is fixed, but occasionally it\u2019s the other way round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double-hung sash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, the double-hung sash has two windows that slide independently of each other. You can have either one open any amount, or have them both open a little. This aids ventilation, as warm air escapes from the top gap, while cooler air enters through the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yorkshire (slider) sash\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some sash windows move sideways, and are usually called slider sashes or a Yorkshire sash. Structurally, the main difference is that they don\u2019t need the system of weights or springs to keep them in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sash windows were popular in Georgian and Victorian houses, but if you\u2019re going for a true period look, it\u2019s worth doing some research as there are slight proportional differences. Modern sash windows are much more watertight and draught-proof when closed, and also have a locking device on them. Otherwise, the design has changed little for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sash replacement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sash windows were standard in many Victorian and Georgian homes, but people wishing to replace them often find the modern alternatives don\u2019t suit the proportions of the building. If you need a sash replacement, look out for specialist companies that offer modern sash windows that have the appearance of traditional windows but have modern efficiency ratings. You can get double glazed sash windows that look incredibly authentic if you shop around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Casement windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The casement window is the standard opening window that swings around a vertical hinge construction like a door. They\u2019re simple to install and maintain, and let plenty of air in when open. Casement windows can open inwards or outwards, and some allow both \u2013 and others even allow both vertical and horizontal opening with a clever system of hinges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmcasement-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK it\u2019s usual for casement windows to open outwards, but that can make it difficult if you have shutters or anything outside that prevents movement. Inward-opening casement windows have the opposite problem \u2013 you can\u2019t put anything on the window ledge \u2013 but they are easier to clean, especially the upstairs ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Awning windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An awning window is \u201chinged\u201d across the top so that it opens up like a sloped roof. Modern awning windows have a slightly more complex hinging arrangement so that there\u2019s also a gap at the top when it\u2019s open. This allows the waterproof strips to press firmly against the frame when it closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/awning-window-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Fixed windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixed windows are simply windows that are held in a frame and don\u2019t open. If arranged alongside opening windows, the frame is usually made artificially wider so that it aligns with the opening ones \u2013 don\u2019t forget, opening windows have two frames: one around the gap in the wall and one around the opening pane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Picture windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture windows are like fixed windows but they have a narrower frame, or in some cases barely any visible frame at all. The idea is to frame the view outside like a picture in a gallery. They can be any size, from less than a metre to a whole wall \u2013 it all depends on the architecture (as well as the view).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-1150x863.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802-575x431.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-5-iStock-1024842802.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Bay windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bay windows have three separate flat windows, one sitting proud of the natural line of the wall, and two at the ends connecting the main window to the wall. This can form a rectangular or trapezoid shape inside the room, with windows on three sides. The main middle window is often \u2013 but not always \u2013 two or three times longer than the individual side windows. At the corners, there was traditionally brickwork, but modern building techniques mean that the horizontal parts can be no wider than normal frames. Bay windows can reach from ground to roof and have separate upstairs and downstairs windows, or they can be just on the ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of bay windows, apart from their looks, is that they let light in for longer as the sun passes overhead. They also give you a bit more floor space inside and increase your field of view of the outside world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbaywindow-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Bow windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bow windows are similar to bay windows, but instead of three clearly defined faces, there\u2019s a more organic curved shape, with each pane of glass facing a slightly different direction to its neighbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/rmbowwindow-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. French windows and patio windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>French windows are often called patio doors, but they are a specific type of casement window that goes all the way to the floor, usually in a pair, so you can step out onto a patio or into a garden. Patio windows are similar, but they can take many forms, for example sliding or bifold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/french-windows-patio-windows-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Skylight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A skylight is a roof window that sits flush with the roof itself. They can usually be opened any amount via a hinge, rather like an awning window. If you have a loft conversion, it\u2019s mandatory to have an opening skylight as it would be a means of escape in a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Dormer window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dormer window is an upright window in a roof space, with sides and a roof added to seal the construction. The roof can be flat or pitched, and there are sometimes triangular windows in the side panels. With a dormer, you can stand next to the window and look out, unlike with a skylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-1150x1150.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dormer-window-575x575.jpeg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Oriel window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An oriel window is similar to a bay or bow window, but it doesn\u2019t reach the ground, so needs its own floor section where it protrudes. They are usually on upper floors, but can sometimes appear on ground floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-767x1150.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370-383x575.jpg 383w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/82-10-iStock-941144370.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.
