1. Pivot windows
These are the type of aluminum windows that have a pre determined pivot point at which the widow rotate to open or shut. The further you push the window to open, the more air you let in. In most cases, this type of window is used for large window spaces as small ones would appear awkward. This type of window is mostly used for offices, luxurious living areas and hotels.

2. Sliding windows
These are most popular in offices and well spaced living areas and hotels. This type of window opens and shuts just by sliding one side of the window to the left or to the right. There also is another design of the sliding window that works by sliding up and down to open or close. Sliding windows are most effective in areas where one wants to save as much space as possible.

3. Round/ arch windows
This is a type of window that has a semi circular design at the top and a rectangular shape at the bottom of the frame. This design is used for decorative purposes and can be installed in homes as well as offices. In most cases, the arched part does not open hence purposely for decoration.

4. Projected windows
This is a type of window that has a leaf or two that open by pushing outwards. It is a more popular design in all areas of Singapore due to its suitability. This type of aluminum window does not waste any internal space as it usually opens outwards. There also is another design of this type of window that opens by pushing the leaf upwards.

5. Tilt and turn window
This is among the newest models of windows and is only common in some selected countries but Singapore is incorporating it in the newest structures. This unique design open on one side but can also be open using a twist motion to any direction. It allows one to open the window directly to where the wind is coming from for optimal fresh air in the room. They are also mostly common in areas that the window cannot fully be opened for instance a window facing a busy street or one that has bars and grills.

All these types of aluminum windows bear the latest designs and are very well incorporated in the latest architectural designs in Singapore. The corporate world is embracing the curtain wall design of windows whereby the entire wall of the building is covered with nothing else but glass windows. However, this is only suitable for offices and the windows are made of extremely strong material to avoid breakages and accidents.
