All-West Glass

Bay windows: This style projects out from the wall; a center window parallel to the wall is flanked by two windows attached at an angle, usually casement or double-hung styles. Box bays have side windows at a 90-degree angle.

Awning and hopper windows: An awning window is like a horizontal, top-hinged casement-it tilts out at the bottom, offering partial ventilation, an unobstructed view, and reasonably good security. A top-opening style, typically placed low on a wall, is called a hopper window. Combine the awning with other architectural styles to achieve a distinctive look. Place your awnings above a fixed unit for unobstructed viewing.

Single and Double-hung windows: Classic in style, double hung windows have an upper outside sash that slides down and a lower inside sash that slides up. Hidden springs, weights, or friction devices help lift, lower and position the sash. With certain types, the sash can be removed, rotated, or tilted for cleaning. If only one sash slides, the window is called "vertical sliding" or "single hung". Double-hung windows offer ventilation at both top and bottom. Single and Double Hung windows are still the window of choice for many homeowners. Your windows can be built to fit existing openings which are great for remodelling and restoration projects or we can help you design a window that is uniuqe for your new construction projects.

Casement windows: Hung singly or in pairs, casement windows are side-mounted on hinges and operated by cranks that swing the sash inward or, more commonly, outward. They open fully for easy cleaning and offer excellent ventilation because they can "scoop" in breezes. Typical casement windows swing out and are operated by a crank.

Horizontal or Vertical slider windows: These work well at sealing in energy. They may have one or more fixed panels in addition to one or more panels that slide in tracks. Only half of the total window may be opened for ventilation at a time.

Custom Architectural Shapes: With endless combinations available, it’s easy to create windows to reflect individual style. Original designs can be invented by combining traditional windows with special shapes. All-West Glass offers special-shaped windows in half-rounds, quarter-rounds, octagons, trapezoids, triangles, pentagons, arch tops and more. For instance, rather than a standard square-shaped window, consider softening it with a full-width arch top window. Dress it up with quarter-inch beveled edge glass or V-groove etched glass. A variety of patterns may be created to integrate etched styles on the same panel of glass for a custom configuration.

Bow windows: A bow window projects like a bay but has more than three sections that join to form a gentle curve. Center windows are generally fixed; side sashes are typically casement windows.

Window hardware: All operable windows come equipped with hardware, the mechanisms used for opening and closing the sash, the latches, and so forth. A missing piece of hardware can make your whole window inoperable. All-West Glass has a wide selection of hardware for retail purchase in our locations. We can also help you search for a difficult-to-find piece of hardware.

Brickmoldings and castings: Exterior and interior trims greatly enhance the beauty and character of your windows and doors. From standard to custom profiling, we can meet your requirements. Our experienced design team can help you with your custom detailing ideas.
