Muskoka as it should be seen
Operable Windows
Operable windows are windows you can open and close. Some homeowners may prefer the simplicity of fixed windows, but operable windows give you the ability to let fresh air and plenty of natural light into your space.
At Muskoka Window and Door Centre,we carry a full range of operable windows from leading Ontario manufacturer Bigfoot. These top-of-the-line models give homeowners plenty of options when it comes to materials, dimensions, frames, and hardware so you can find the ideal window to match your home’s features and design.
Bigfoot operable windows are available in the following styles:
Bigfoot operable windows are available in the following styles:
Tilt & turn
These windows open from the top, tilting the pane inwards, or open outwards as normal - giving you the ability to switch between these two modes by turning the handle vertically or horizontally. Tilt and turn windows are perfect for homeowners who want large, flexible openings to let in a lot of light and air.
Tilt only
As the name suggests, tilt windows only open by tilting the pane inwards. While they offer reduced functionality compared to tilt and turn options, these windows are safer and more secure as they don’t fully open.
Top-hung
Top-hung windows are hinged at the top and have a handle at the bottom which is lifted up to open the window. Their slanted design is both elegant and weatherproof - allowing water to easily run off the pane.
Parallel-opening
One of the most unique window styles, parallel-opening or push-out picture windows, open by pushing all sides of the window outwards. Their innovative design allows for constant circulation of air while minimizing any drafts.
No matter which window you choose, you’re in good hands with Bigfoot. Known as a leader in quality design and manufacturing, Bigfoot offers durable windows that are easy to operate, highly functional, and elevate your home’s appearance.
Thermally-insulated, they’ll also help keep you warm in winter and improve your home’s energy efficiency. If you want to upgrade further, you can select a Low-e (low emissivity) glaze that reduces the transfer of heat or cold through panes by blocking the sun’s heat in the summer and trapping room-side heat in the winter.
Bigfoot also provides a number of finishing options to keep your window frames in top-condition year-round. These include coatings that are resistant to chipping, peeling, and fading. All are available in a large selection of neutral, earth tones so you can find the right shade for your room.
