Some may have shelves and glass

In an 'ARCH' OR 'RADIUS' WINDOW,


the bottom half of the window is
rectangular while the top is an arch
or half-circle. Arch shaped windows

contrasting effect. Arch windows
can be operable to let in fresh air or
fixed to only let in light.

A SKYLIGHT is a window installed on the


ceiling of a home, bringing in light and
views of the sky. Skylights are a great
way to brighten up a space while
ensuring privacy such as bathrooms.
They also are a great addition to rooms
without outside facing walls.
