  1. WINDOWS – KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A quick reference guide to prepare you for the e2Value program

  2. Awning • A window that is hinged at the top • The window opens by swinging out • Comes in a variety of sizes

  3. Bay Window • A set of windows that project outward from the home • Typically form a small sitting/storage place inside the home

  4. Bow Window • A set/series of windows that project out from the home • Forms an arc or semi circle

  5. Bull’s-Eye or Round • A window that is a perfect circle

  6. Casement Window • A window frame that is hinged on one side so that it swings out or open • This window is hinged on one side and is opened by turning the crank

  7. Single Hung • A window that is divided into two main sections • One section can slide up and down past the other Closed Open

  8. Double Hung / Double Swing • A window that is divided into two separate sections • Unlike a single hung window, both sections can be opened

  9. Etched Glass • Glass that has a pattern or design • The pattern or design appears “cloudy” compared to the rest of the glass

  10. Fanlight / Circlehead Window • A window that is above a door • Usually semi-circular in shape and has no moving parts • May also have glazed bars that appear to radiate out like a fan

  11. Fixed Window • A window that is fixed; it is not designed to open • The window cannot swing out or in • The window will not slide up or down

  12. Impact • Impact windows are typically found in coastal homes. • These windows come in a variety of styles (fixed, casement, etc.) and look like any other window, however, they can withstand the conditions of tropical storms and hurricanes. • If a policy holder tells you that they have these types of windows installed in their home, please mark the primary box next to “impact” on the e2Value worksheet.

  13. Jalousie • A window which is hinged at the top to open outward at an angle • Usually there are a series of small rectangular windows jointed one above another; the lever to open them can be found inside the home near the window

  14. Oval • A window that looks like an oval • Is also a fixed window; usually not designed to open • Try to be as specific as possible with e2value; oval window should be the box you check if you saw this (not fixed)

  15. Palladian • A window or atrium/french door with a central arched section flanked by two narrow, rectangular sections

  16. Picture Window • A large, usually single paned window that provides a broad outside view • Picture windows are not designed to open

  17. Side Light • A framed area of fixed glass alongside a door or window opening • Usually the glass is clear; this example has a film/tint used to minimize light, add some privacy and/or for decoration

  18. Skylight • A window that is set in the roof of a home • The skylight follows the slope of the roof • A motorized skylight can be opened by a switch or remote control

  19. Sun Tunnel • This is a type of skylight • A window is visible from the roof and light is channeled inside the home through a flexible hose/tube

  20. Stained Glass / Leaded Glass • Colored glass used to make decorative windows • Often made in large panels that are set together in a framework of lead

  21. Sliding / Gliding • A window that opens horizontally (left to right or right to left) • The glass can slide past each other (like a sliding glass door would open) • If both windows can slide it is called a double slide

  22. Thermopane Window • A thermopane window is actually two window panes that are separated by trapped air. • The trapped air acts as an insulator to keep hot or cool air inside. • These windows come in a variety of shapes and styles and can be easily missed if not looked at closely.

  23. Transom • A window or pane above a doorway that is rectangular in shape • Can be a variety of sizes; depends on the wall/ceiling height

  24. True Divided Light • A window made up of smaller panes of glass where each pane is literally set into the frame work of the window • This window actually has 24 panes of glass

  25. Do Not Be Fooled . . . • Thermopane windows will often have a grid in-between the panes of glass to give the appearance of true divided light • Grids can also be applied over the top of windows; please make sure that the glass fits into each section of the grid or it is not “true divided light”

  26. Summary • One window can often fall under more than one category. When this happens you need to choose the best answer for the window. • An example would be the photo of the round and the oval windows in this presentation. These windows are also fixed windows but the best choice/more specific answer would be to call them oval and round windows. • You need to specify if a window type is primary or if it is secondary. • If you only see one or two transom windows, for example, this would be a secondary window type. If they were found in many rooms of the home or if they were of significant size they would be considered primary.
