Home windows come in many styles. They can be used in combinations of the same window, such as a bank of casement windows, or you can mix it up, such as a picture window flanked by two casement windows.
No one home window is perfect for every application. Some are more suitable for capturing light or fresh air. Others lend themselves well to designing with shapes, using a variety of windows to make an interesting configuration
