  1. Millwork Windows

  2. Purpose of a Window • Let in light • Define a rooms shape • Provide ventilation • Provide architectural focal point

  3. Window Parts • Rails • Sash • Jamb • Sill • Casing • Muntin • Pane

  4. Types of Windows Operable Windows • Double Hung • Casement • Slider • Awning • Hopper • Louvered

  5. The Single or Double-hung window, classic in appearance, offers excellent control of ventilation. You can raise the lower sash or lower the upper one A casement window is hinged on one side and swings out when you turn a crank (some are inward-swinging). Because it opens fully, it affords good ventilation and is easy to clean

  6. A slider. It's made from two separate sashes-one is fixed, the other slides in a track. Half opens for ventilation. A slider is easy to operate and most types are particularly weather-tight. Jalousie or "louvered" windows are excellent for ventilation but poor insulators-they leak a great deal of air.

  7. An awning window hinges at the top and tilts out at the bottom, providing partial ventilation. These are often used above doors or other windows. A hopper window hinges at the bottom. A hopper is normally used for ventilation above a door or window, where protected by eaves

  8. Types of Windows Specialty Windows • Bay • Bow • Picture • Geometric Shapes

  9. A bow window is made from several windows positioned side-by-side to create an arcing form. Similar to a bay window, it provides drama in a room The bay window, made from a central sash and two angled side sashes, is a classic favorite for expanding a room with light, views and drama. Angled side windows are often operable casements or double-hung windows.

  10. Picture Windowis designed to provide a large unobstructed view of the outside. Often times inoperable. May have other types of window surrounding it to provide ventilation.

  11. Geometric Shapes and other geometrically-shaped windows are used as architectural accents.

  12. Window Sizes • Widths Depend on style of window. See Text for more Information • Height: From the floor to the top of the window should measure 6’8” • Total height of the window will depend on what room it will appear in For Example • Bedrooms: 3’0”-4’0” • Kitchens: 2’9”- 3’0” • Living Rooms: 3’6”- 5’4” • Dining Rooms: 4’3” • See Text for Increments
