Casement windows open to a 90-degree angle using a hand crank. They open to the side, maximizing airflow. In terms of energy efficiency, their tough vinyl frames give them the best performance in Winnipeg weather. All casement windows also come with a screen to keep the mosquitos out. Combine fixed and casement windows for a beautiful bay window.
Awning windows open out from the bottom using a hand crank. This design gives them excellent ventilation allowing air to flow outside even when it's raining. This makes windows the perfect choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Tilt & turn windows use an innovative design to bring the best features of casement, fixed, and awning windows. These windows can tilt inward for draft-free airflow or open fully horizontally like a casement window with a turn of the handle. This window style is trendy in Europe but is now available in Winnipeg too.
Single-hung windows are a breeze to clean while taking up no extra space. The bottom portion of the window slides up to open for great ventilation. Since they don't open outwards single-hung windows' low-profile design makes them a great choice for sunrooms, rooms facing desks, and walkways.
Like the single-hung, double-hung windows use a minimalist sliding mechanism allowing for great airflow and energy efficiency. Unlike single-hung windows, both portions can slide open on double-hung windows making them extremely easy to clean.
Similarly to single and double-hung windows, sliding windows have one or two portions that slide horizontally to open. Because of their low profile and no outward movement, you'll often find sliding windows in basements.
