There are a range of egress window types available, including:

• Casement: $200–$500

When choosing a type of egress window, consider how you’d like to open it. For example, double-hung egress windows open from top to bottom and let plenty of fresh air in, whereas sliding windows slide open for easy access.  

There are more than five window types, but five of the most popular types include casement windows, sliding windows, double-hung windows, picture windows, and awning windows. Each style offers something different. Some are great for ventilation, others for letting in light, and some can do a bit of both. For kitchens, specifically, it helps to think about how often you’ll open the window, how easy it is to clean, and whether it fits well in the space you have.
