If you are renovating your home by replacing your old windows, you have a lot of different options to choose from. You need to decide what type of window frames to go with, the type of glass you want, and the style of windows that will work for your home. Here are some of the window styles and types to select from.
Bay Windows
Bay windows project outward from the walls of the home. They offer a beautiful, elegant look for any home or building, and are available in a range styles, shapes, and sizes.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are designed to open sideways, they do not slide up and down. While casement windows can be convenient, they are more likely to weather and then window panes generally need to be replaced more often.
Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are also called sash windows or hung sash windows. They are one of the most common types of windows used in past decades. They slide up and down the frame of the window with the help of chains and pulleys.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows, or sliders, use two sashes that are able to slide horizontally past one another. In the past few years, they have been increasing in popularity.
Insulated Glass
Insulated glass, or double paned glass, is more energy-efficient than other types of windows because two window panes are separated by a spacer, which traps outside air.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are not used very often anymore. Awning windows open by swinging outward.
Garden Windows
Garden windows function like mini greenhouses, giving a homeowner the ability to maintain live plant life in their home on a year round basis. They can range in size and are usually made of vinyl, wood, or aluminum. Sometimes insulated glass is used to prevent cold air from infiltrating the garden.
