Sliding windows have sashes that move horizontally on a track. Usually only one of the sashes moves and the other is fixed. Since only half of the window area can be opened, sliding windows provide less ventilation area than casement or rotating windows. An advantage is... they are inexpensive, especially if the frame is aluminum, and their easy to clean, if the sash is removed.

Awning windows, also known as hopper windows, swing open like casements but are hinged on the top or bottom rather than on the side. Some swing inward, others swing outward. Because they are easy to clean and provide more security than other types of windows, they are common in schools and in multifamily housing.

Glass louvers that overlap one another form the panes of a jalousie window. Operated with a crank or turn-screw, the glass louvers tilt to open, permitting air flow. Besides the fact that they do not obstruct the view, their biggest advantage is they allow ventilation. A wall of jalousie windows can be opened to let breezes flow, making the indoors feel like outside. This advantage however is also their greatest disadvantage -- they allow ventilation so well they are almost impossible to seal. When closed, each glass louver rests against the one below it, rarely if ever making an air-tight seal, and the hinges along the sides are almost impossible to seal without covering the entire window. They are not energy efficient, especially in Florida, and they may be a security risk.

Fixed-pane windows do not open, which means they do not permit ventilation or easy cleaning, but their sealed edges protect against air infiltration. Fixed-pane windows come in almost any size or shape and with single, double or triple glazing. In areas where heating or cooling is used much of the year, double or triple glazing should be considered for fixed-pane windows, especially if they are large.

Casement windows open with cranks or levers that open them like doors. Older casements swing on hinges while newer ones have pivot mechanisms. Most swing outward, but models that swing inward are available.

Casements provide excellent ventilation because both halves of the window open. Because they seal tightly when closed, they are considered energy efficient. Another advantage of casements is they are easier to clean than most other windows because both inside and outside surfaces are accessible from indoors.

Double-hung windows are probably the most common type of window. They open by sliding the bottom half of the window up or sliding the top half down. Because only half of the window area can be open at one time, they provide less ventilation than casement style windows. An advantage of double-hung windows is they can be used to create air movement in the home by opening the top portion of the windows on one side of the house and opening the lower portion of the windows on the coolest side of the house. Air will naturally rise out of the higher opening, pulling cooler air in the lower opening.

Older double-hung windows have weight-and-pulley systems to make them easier to open. Unfortunately, these systems tend to stick or rattle and it is hard to stop air from leaking around the pulley openings. Newer models have spring-tension devices and work far better.

Single-hung windows are similar in operation to double-hung windows, with the exception that only the bottom sash opens.
