Window Styles

Choose the best replacement window style for your home

When shopping for replacement windows, it’s important to consider your budget, your home’s style, and how you want the windows to perform. Some other things to think about when selecting windows are ventilation, privacy, security, and maintenance level.

There are many different types of replacement windows to choose from:

1. Bay or bow windows

Bay and bow windows project outward from the outside wall of the home. They’re ideal for maximizing room space, allowing in more light and accenting a great view.

2. Casement windows

Casement windows are hinged on one end and pivot out for ventilation at the other end.They’re easy to open and provide good air flow.

3. Double-hung windows

Double-hung windows are one of the most common types of windows. Both the upper and lower sashes open for ventilation. Many double-hung windows are designed with a sash that tilts inward, making it easy to clean the exterior surface of the window from inside your house.

4. Single-hung windows

Single-hung windows look similar to the double-hung unit, but only the lower sash opens. Some single-hung window designs allow you to tilt the sash inward to clean the exterior.

5. Picture windows

Picture windows are fixed units that are designed to give you a wide, unobstructed view and let in lots of light.

6. Awning windows

Awning windows have a hinged sash that tilts out from the bottom. The unique design of an awning window helps keep the rain out when the window is open.
