This image is an illustrative guide titled "POPULAR WINDOW TYPES," presenting seven common window styles with a combination of cross-sectional diagrams, front elevations, and isometric views.


Let's break down each window type:

1.  Double Hung:

    * Cross-section: Shows two sashes (the movable parts of the window) that slide vertically past each other. Both the upper and lower sashes can typically be opened.

    * Front Elevation: Depicts a classic rectangular window divided into two equal sashes.

    * Isometric View: Shows the window in 3D, confirming the vertical sliding mechanism.

    * Description: A very common window type where both the top and bottom sashes move up and down independently.

2.  Sliding:

    * Cross-section: Illustrates two sashes that slide horizontally past each other.

    * Front Elevation: Shows a rectangular window with two sches, one potentially overlapping the other when open. Arrows indicate horizontal movement.

    * Isometric View: A 3D view showing the horizontal sliding action.

    * Description: Similar to double-hung but operates horizontally. Ideal for wider openings.

3.  Awning:

    * Cross-section: Depicts the sash hinging outwards from the top, creating an "awning" over the opening when open.

    * Front Elevation: A rectangular window.

    * Isometric View: Shows the window pushed out from the bottom, with the top edge remaining fixed.

    * Description: Hinged at the top, opening outwards from the bottom. Allows ventilation even during light rain due to its awning-like projection.

4.  Casement:

    * Cross-section: Shows the sash hinging outwards from the side (often with an inward swing for cleaning or a crank mechanism).

    * Front Elevation: A tall, narrow rectangular window.

    * Isometric View: Displays the window swinging open like a door.

    * Description: Hinged at the side, opening outwards (or sometimes inwards) like a door. Provides excellent ventilation.

5.  Hopper:

    * Cross-section: Illustrates the sash hinging inwards from the bottom, creating a small opening at the top.

    * Front Elevation: A rectangular window, often wider than it is tall.

    * Isometric View: Shows the window tilting inward from the top.

    * Description: Hinged at the bottom, opening inwards from the top. Often used in basements or bathrooms for ventilation while maintaining privacy.

6.  Jalousie:

    * Cross-section: Shows multiple horizontal glass slats that pivot open and close like blinds.

    * Front Elevation: A window composed of many narrow, horizontal panes.

    * Isometric View: Depicts the slats tilted open for ventilation.

    * Description: Consists of multiple parallel panes of glass that open and close in unison by rotating. Provides maximum ventilation, often used in warm climates.

7.  Fixed:

    * Cross-section: Shows a non-operable window where the glass is permanently sealed into the frame.

    * Front Elevation: A simple rectangular window.

    * Isometric View: A static window.

    * Description: Also known as a picture window. It does not open and is used solely for light and views, offering excellent airtightness and energy efficiency.

The diagram is well-structured, providing multiple views for each window type, which helps in clearly understanding their operational mechanisms and visual characteristics.
