Combination windows refer to a type of window that combines multiple window styles or operating mechanisms within a single unit. They are designed to offer versatility and functionality by incorporating different window types in one frame. The most common combinations include:
Double Hung and Picture Combination: This combination consists of a double-hung window (two vertically sliding sashes) combined with a picture window (fixed, non-operable). The double-hung portion allows for ventilation, while the picture window offers an unobstructed view.
Casement and Picture Combination: In this combination, a casement window (hinged sash that opens outward) is paired with a picture window. The casement window provides ventilation, while the picture window offers a clear view.
Slider and Picture Combination: This combination combines a sliding window (horizontally operating sashes) with a picture window. The sliding window allows for easy operation and ventilation, while the picture window provides an expansive view.
Awning and Picture Combination: An awning window (hinged at the top and opens outward) is paired with a picture window. The awning window allows for ventilation and protection from rain, while the picture window offers a fixed view.
