Single-hung sash window
One sash is movable and the other fixed. This is the earlier form of sliding sash window, and is also cheaper.
Horizontal sliding sash window
Has two or more sashes that overlap slightly but slide horizontally within the frame. In the UK, these are sometimes called Yorkshire sash windows, presumably because of their traditional use in that county.
Casement window
A window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung , or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash. In the USA, these are usually opened using a crank, but in parts of Europe they tend to use projection friction stays and espagnolette locking. Formerly, plain hinges were used with a casement stay. Handing applies to casement windows to determine direction of swing; a casement window may be left-handed, right-handed, or double. The casement window is the dominant type now found in the UK and parts of Europe.
Awning window
An awning window is a casement window that is hung horizontally, hinged on top, so that it swings outward like an awning.
Hopper window
A hopper window is a bottom hung casement window that opens similar to a draw bridge typically opening to the outside.
