Fixed windows are available in both dual and triple pane glass options that include low-e and argon.

A CASEMENT window is a side hinged window that swings out to open. In our climate, casement windows are most often manufactured as triple pane with low-e and argon gas, but they are also available in dual pane.
Casement windows are suitable for bedroom applications because, when sized appropriately, they will satisfy egress (means of escape) requirements
Awning
Casement
Tilt & Turn
An AWNING window is a top hinged window that swings out to open. This style of window is very popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Rain or shine, awning style windows can be opened to improve ventilation. In our climate, these are often ordered as triple pane with low-e and argon gas, but they are also available in dual pane.
Awning windows are NOT suitable for bedrooms because they do not meet the egress requirements. The operating hardware blocks your escape when the window is in the open position.

TILT & TURN windows are prevalent in Europe and popular among discerning architects, designers and homeowners in North America.
Each unit can tilt into the room at the top for indirect ventilation, or swing into the room for easy cleaning or emergency egress. Both actions are activated by a turn of the lever handle which controls all of the mechanical operations.
