The attraction of this particular design is the ability to fit almost any size of opening & that it is very adaptable in terms of the type of property it can suit, with dozens of combinations of prices & fixed or opening panes.
The main function of this type of window is to have the ability to combine fixed and opening sections into one frame. The opening sections can be top hinged (awning) side hinged (casement) or bottom hinged (hopper).
This design is also very often used in bow windows or even Bay windows to great effect. The curved Bow design is achieved by connecting a series of casement windows,side by side, to form the overall shape of the curved window. You will find, however, that bow windows are more expensive than flat- plane installations.
