ARCH WINDOWS IN THE CENTER
Front Elevations of homes often have common window types. Tall windows will typically be single hung windows, shorter windows in sleeping areas will typically be horizontal sliding windows. When a home is designed, typically the builder will use standard size and these standard styles of windows to fit a common size framed opening. Sometimes multiple windows will be connected together to fill in an opening to achieve different elevation styles. An arch window opening is often filled by mulling together a standard single hung window with an arched fixed picture window. Windows that are connected together are called a mulled window set. Additionally, windows may be grouped together and separated by interior sheetrock and exterior materials such as masonry or siding to create a specific style. Usually the standard size, straight sided single hung will be the mainstay of these window groupings.

CENTER ARCH WINDOW WITH SIDE FLANKING WINDOWS
One very common window configuration is a larger width center window with two narrower side single hung windows. Commonly the center single hung window will be mulled with a half round arch on top. Single hung windows come in many different standard widths between 18” and four feet. Window heights for these types of configurations range from 4 feet to 8 feet! Because of the wide ranges of widths and heights of standard single hung windows, there are plenty of different configurations out there!
When we replace windows, many other window types are now available to fill in these openings!
