Popular Window Styles We Offer

We provide several window types to suit your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and long-term performance needs. Each style has unique advantages, impacting everything from ventilation and cleaning ease to thermal efficiency.


Our experts will assess your home’s architecture and sun exposure to recommend the best combination of styles for every room. The professional installation of any style you choose is covered by our full workmanship guarantee.

Casement Windows

Casement windows open outward with a side hinge. This design is great for places where you want good airflow, like kitchens or living rooms.


When closed, casement windows seal tightly. The sash presses firmly against the frame. This leads to high energy efficiency in Arizona's climate.


They are also easy to clean from the inside, making them a popular, versatile choice for many Phoenix homeowners.

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows feature a simple, space-saving design where one sash glides horizontally over the other on durable tracks.


This style is usually the most affordable. It is very easy to use, making it a great choice for places with less wall space, like patios or kitchens.


While they offer good ventilation, their moderate seal quality means professional window installation.


It is crucial to ensure maximum thermal performance in the heat.

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows have a classic style and provide good airflow. They have both a top and bottom sash that can move up and down.


They are a great choice for homes where style matters. They fit well with most architectural designs.


However, since both sashes operate, they usually provide lower thermal performance than fixed or casement windows.


This makes your choice of glass type, like Low-E, very important.

Picture Windows

Picture windows are fixed-pane designs that do not open, offering completely unobstructed outdoor views and maximizing natural light.


The glass is fixed and sealed in the frame. This makes them very energy efficient and airtight. They are a great choice for large openings or viewing areas.


While they don't provide ventilation, they are a fantastic solution for boosting natural light while minimizing heat transfer.

Custom Window Design Options

Looking for something truly unique for your home? We specialize in custom window designs for one-of-a-kind homes across Phoenix and the surrounding service areas.


We have the skills to create and install special shapes and sizes. These go beyond regular stock options, like beautiful arches and unique trapezoids.


Our commitment to precision ensures that even the most unique custom design is engineered for durability and installed flawlessly.


If your project involves very large openings or complex architectural glass, we also offer expertise in custom glass solutions. We handle both residential and commercial applications.


Every custom design is backed by our full workmanship guarantee. Whether you are replacing a custom window or planning a new one, our team is ready to help you find the perfect fit.

Which Style Fits Your Home Best?

Every home has unique design elements and functional needs. Choosing the right combination of windows should complement your layout and lifestyle.


For example, casement windows typically offer a tighter seal and better energy efficiency than sliding windows. Thus, they are excellent for rooms with heavy sun exposure. Conversely, sliding windows are often more affordable and require less space to operate.


When making your final decision, consider:


  • Airflow and Ventilation: How much natural airflow does the room need?
  • Sun Exposure and Insulation: Which side of the house faces the most sun, and how much heat rejection is required?
  • Operation and Cleaning: How often will you open the window, and how easy is it to maintain?
  • Aesthetics and Architecture: Does the style match your home's overall design?


If you are currently dealing with old, poorly sealed units, upgrading to almost any modern style will be a significant improvement. You can learn more about this process on our window replacement page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What window styles are popular in Phoenix homes?

    Sliding, double-hung, and casement windows are the top choices for Phoenix homeowners. Sliding windows are popular for affordability and ease of use. Meanwhile, casement windows are chosen for their superior air sealing and energy efficiency.


  • Which window styles maximize energy savings in the Arizona heat?

    Picture windows and casement windows provide the best energy savings because they have a tight seal when closed. This results in minimal air leakage and heat transfer. 


    Regardless of style, we always recommend double-pane, Low-E glass for maximum performance.


  • Can I mix different window styles in my home?

    Absolutely. Combining styles is common and adds both character and practicality to your home's layout. 


    For instance, many homeowners install picture windows in their living room to maximize light and sliding windows in bedrooms for simple ventilation.


  • Do certain window styles require special maintenance?

    Sliding and double-hung windows are usually easy to clean and maintain. Their sashes can tilt or slide for easy access. 


    Casement windows may occasionally require lubrication on the crank and hinge mechanisms.


  • What is the difference between a new window installation and replacement?

    Window installation refers to fitting a window into a new opening (new construction), while window replacement refers to removing an old window and fitting a new unit into the existing opening. We specialize in both services.
