Types Of Windows For House

There are many types of windows available for your home, each designed to serve a specific function. The right window choice plays a pivotal role in your home’s comfort, natural lighting, security, and overall energy efficiency. Millennium Windows and Doors offers a full range of window styles available on the market, along with fully custom-built solutions tailored to your specific architectural needs.

Types Of Windows For House

Window frames are available in a variety of materials, including aluminum, wood, and PVC — each offering distinct advantages in durability, insulation, and aesthetic appeal. In addition, glass options include various coatings and performance features, such as Low-E treatments and insulated glazing, which significantly impact your home’s heating and cooling efficiency.

Types Of Windows For House

Single Hung Windows

Single hung windows are one of the most traditional and commonly found window styles, especially in older homes. In this design, the upper sash remains fixed in place, while the lower sash slides vertically to open and close.

This simple construction makes single hung windows one of the most cost-effective options available. They provide reliable ventilation, a classic appearance, and straightforward operation — making them a practical choice for many residential applications.

Single Hung Windows

Double Hung Windows

A double-hung window features two operable sashes — an upper and a lower — that slide vertically within the frame. Unlike single-hung windows, both sashes can move, allowing for improved ventilation and greater airflow control.

Blending classic architectural style with modern performance, our double-hung windows incorporate a convenient tilt-in mechanism. This feature allows the sashes to tilt inward for easy cleaning from inside your home, making maintenance simple and safe.

Designed for energy efficiency, durability, and smooth operation, Millennium double-hung windows offer timeless appeal with contemporary functionality.

Arched Windows and Doors

Elegant and stylish, arched windows are particularly suitable for older homes.

An arched window is one whose upper part is not straight but rounded, forming a more or less pronounced arc of a circle.

Because they are integrated into the façade of a home, windows are much more than simple openings. The arched window is synonymous with aesthetics; it adds charm to any style of residence, which explains why architects of the past used them throughout the ages.

Bay Windows

A bay window is a multi-panel window consisting of three sections set at different angles to create a protrusion from an exterior wall.

Bay Windows

Bow Windows

A bow window is similar to a bay window in that it protrudes from the home. A bay window typically features a large central picture window with two angled side windows, forming a partial polygon shape. In contrast, a bow window creates a more rounded appearance by combining multiple windows of the same size to form a gentle curve.

Casement Windows

The classic window par excellence, timeless in design. The casement window is the traditional style found in many homes because it adapts easily to any room. Available with one, two, or three sashes, it can be installed in a bathroom, bedroom, or living room. This is the type of window we sell most often due to its versatility and its excellent quality-to-price ratio.

Casement Windows

For new construction or renovation, in wood, PVC or aluminum, it adapts to all your needs.

Egress Windows

Egress windows are often installed in basements or other areas where additional ventilation or an emergency exit is required. They are generally smaller in size to fit into tighter spaces.

Garden Windows

A garden window is a smaller version of a bay window. It allows additional natural light and provides a modest outward view. It can also be used as a shelf to display plants or decorative arrangements.

Sliding Windows

A sliding window or door consists of two sashes, one or both of which slide horizontally within the frame. Its main advantages are ease of operation and improved ventilation.

Storm Windows

Storm windows and doors are engineered with reinforced construction to withstand severe weather conditions. With the increasing threat of unpredictable and intense storms, the need for reliable protection has never been greater. Millennium Windows and Doors are built for strength and have been tested to perform under high wind conditions.

Transom Windows

Transom windows are horizontal windows often installed above doors. They were originally designed to allow airflow in the days before modern air conditioning. Today, they have evolved into more of a decorative feature than a functional necessity.

Hopper Windows

A hopper window is designed for vertical placement and is ideal for spaces where occasional ventilation is needed. If you do not have enough room to open the sashes of a traditional window, a hopper window is an excellent solution.

Rather than opening on a vertical axis, it pivots inward on a horizontal axis, with hinges fixed at the bottom of the frame.

Hopper Windows

Originally, hopper windows were commonly installed in laundry rooms or basements. Today, they are also used in living spaces, such as kitchens. In addition, wood and aluminum construction have given them new versatility, allowing for much larger formats than were traditionally possible with PVC.

Tilt and Turn Window

The Tilt and Turn Window Design: an ingenious three-in-one German window system offering security, ventilation, and emergency egress. This tilt-and-turn window effectively functions as three windows in one: it can operate as a fixed window, an inswing casement window, and a hopper-style window.

Skylight Windows

A skylight window can add a unique perspective to your home. It not only gives a room a more open, nature-inspired atmosphere, but it also serves as an excellent source of natural light. Skylight windows can be installed on both flat and sloped roofs.

Fixed Windows

A custom window that does not open is called a fixed window. If a window doesn’t open, what is it used for? Like all windows, it allows natural light into a room and provides a clear view to the outside. However, since it is not always necessary for every window in a home to open, fixed windows are more useful than many people realize.

Fixed Windows

From a technical standpoint, the absence of operable sashes allows for a larger glass surface thanks to slimmer vertical profiles. The increased glazing brings more natural light into the room, which can also contribute to passive solar warmth. Fixed windows offer many advantages and are ideal in a variety of situations. They enhance the aesthetics of a home while also improving structural strength and security..

French Window Doors

This type of opening has the same characteristics as a traditional window, but in a door format. A French window door allows passage from the interior to the exterior while providing generous natural light. By adding a secure locking system and burglar-resistant glazing, it can also serve as a secure entry door.

French Window Doors

In the past, patio doors often featured a solid base panel (an unglazed section at the bottom). Today, the trend favors fully glazed designs to create a more contemporary look and, above all, to bring more natural light into the home. No more dark entrances—rediscover this timeless style of joinery that remains a safe and elegant choice.

Custom Picture Windows

Panoramic custom picture windows are very popular in single-family homes, as well as in offices and apartments. Investors appreciate their modern appearance, their ability to flood interiors with natural light, and the expansive views made possible by large glazed surfaces.
