Aluminum frames are strong and energy efficient. When combined with thermal breaks, argon filled sashes and Low E coating their performance is comparable to well Energy Star rated windows.
Double Hung
Unlike single-hung windows that open vertically, double-hung windows move up and down within the window frame. This makes them more accessible and easier to clean, especially in high or hard-to-reach spots. They also have a strong seal to prevent energy loss.
Another popular choice among Covington LA homeowners, casement windows open using a hinge on one side of the frame and tilt inward for easy cleaning.

These windows are a great choice for homes with a traditional or Craftsman style. They offer a classic look that complements Covington’s rich history. They are available in a variety of finishes and features, including low-e glass.
Awning
Unlike double-hung windows, both awning and casement windows open outward with a crank handle. The difference is in their location of the hinge. Casement windows have hinges on one side and are taller than they are wide. Awning windows have a top hinge and are wider than they are tall.
Both types provide unobstructed views of your home’s surroundings and can easily be opened for ventilation. They also provide more natural light than other window styles, including fixed or picture windows.
Because they swing out like doors, these windows require ample space to operate. You’ll also need to keep shrubs and bushes trimmed so they don’t interfere with the window when it’s fully extended.

They can be locked when closed and are easy to clean with a brush or rag and glass cleaner.
