The moveable
part of the window that holds a pane of glass is the sash.
The horizontal,
bottom part of the frame is the sill.
A window
in which one sash slides up and down and the other sash doesn't
move is considered single hung.
Single-strength
glass has a thickness of approximately 3/32".
A slider
window has a sash that moves back and forth as opposed
to up and down.
A sloped
sill is the exterior bottom part of a window that has
a downward slope to allow for water runoff.
The solar
heat gain coefficient measures the percentage of heat
entered through glass from both direct sunlight and absorbed heat.
The smaller the number, the greater the reductions of heat gain.
The vertical
parts of a sash are the stiles.
