There are windows designed for new construction and for replacement. A new window has a nailing fin - a rim that allows it to be nailed into a rough opening in a wall. Replacement windows do not have nailing fins. It is securely attached to an existing window frame with fasteners that run through the window assembly, making installation easier. OKC window replacement services are typically used to update existing windows, unless the existing frame around the opening needs to be replaced. Ensure you have good measurements of the existing rough openings before buying replacement windows.

There are two types of windows: operable (can open) and fixed (cannot open). A window has at least one sash - a sheet of glass and a framework of vertical stiles and horizontal rails. Panes are single sheets of glass framed in a window. As well as the glass in a window, glazing can refer to the process of securing the glass into the frame. The window frame is composed of the head, jamb, side jamb, and sill.

There are distinct characteristics and features associated with each type of window. In addition to appearance (from the inside and outside), consider their function, how much light they let in, and whether or not you want to open them. Also consider how you'll clean and maintain them.

Double-hung windows have a classic appearance. The upper and lower sashes are operable. By lowering the top sash and raising the lower sash, warmer air near the ceiling can escape through the top, while cooler air can enter from the bottom. By lowering the top sash and raising the lower sash, warmer air near the ceiling can escape through the top, while cooler air can enter from the bottom. The sashes of many double-hung windows tilt inward, so you can clean the exterior surfaces from inside your home. If the windows are on a second floor, this feature is especially useful.
