• Picture Window – A large stationary window that lets in the maximum amount of light and views of the outdoors, usually found in living rooms or kitchens.
• Transom Window – A narrow window that can either be installed to let air in (operating) or mounted above a door or window to allow for more light. (non-operating)

• Stationary Window – Doesn’t open but can be customized in almost any angle or shape. Found in modern or contemporary homes with operating windows.
