Single Hung Windows

With single-hung windows, the bottom sash slides up and down to open and close the window.  The upper sash stays in place allowing light to enter but not airflow.  Since these windows open vertically, they save space when the house exterior faces a patio or walkway.   Milgard single hung windows are available in Tuscany Series®, Style Line®, Trinsic Series®, Ultra Series®, and Thermally Improved Aluminum Series styles.

Double Hung Windows

For double-hung windows, both the top and bottom sash slide.  They offer the same space-saving convenience of a single hung window, and because the sashes tilt inward.  Double hung windows are a great option for a second story.   Milgard double hung vinyl windows are available in the Tuscany Series®.

Picture Windows

Picture windows from Milgard allow for the maximum amount of daylight to flood your home while providing an unobstructed view to the outside.  Picture windows are in a fixed position and do not open, they are ideal for rooms in need of natural lighting. You can get Milgard picture windows as Tuscany Series®, Style Line®, or Trinsic Series® vinyl windows, Ultra Series® fiberglass windows, or Thermally Improved Aluminum Series window styles.

Awning Windows

Awning windows tend to be smaller in size and are often taller than they are wide.  With an awning window, the sash is hinged at the top and swings upward.  This allows air to flow into the house with side-to-side ventilation, while also keeping the rain out.  Awning windows from Milgard are available as Tuscany Series®, Trinsic Series®, or Style Line® vinyl windows, Ultra Series® fiberglass windows, or Thermally Improved Aluminum Series windows.

Horizontal Sliding Windows

If you’re considering larger-sized windows, sliders are a good option.  Horizontal sliding windows are a common style that is easy to use.  The sash slides either to the right or to the left, depending on where you want to direct the airflow in the room.  Milgard horizontal sliding windows are available in Tuscany Series®, Style Line®, Trinsic Series®, Ultra Series®, and Thermally Improved Aluminum Series styles.

Casement Windows

Milgard Casement windows have a hinge on one side and open outward by turning a crank-style handle.  Because they open like a door, these windows allow the maximum amount of ventilation into the home where airflow is desired.  Because there is no center rail on a casement window, they offer an unobstructed view. Milgard casement windows are available in Tuscany Series®, Style Line®, Trinsic Series®, Ultra Series®, and Thermally Improved Aluminum Series styles.
