About Arch Windows
An arch window (also known as a radius window) creates a dramatic effect in both contemporary and traditional homes. An arch window can be tall like a casement window or wide like an awning window. In traditional homes, arch windows can be used to create a Victorian-like effect. Turret Window.
Probably the most common style of arched window is the kind that opens. You can choose a style in which the whole arch swings open in two panes or in which just the square area below the arch swings open. If you choose a window in which the arched part also opens, you increase the amount of ventilation it allows in.
That said, casement-style windows typically open wider than hung windows. So, even if you choose a style in which only the square area swings open, you’ll still have a lot of ventilation. If you want more control over the incoming air, or if you don’t have clearance for panes to swing out, arched windows also come with the square in a double-hung construction.
