Window Replacement Different Types

There are Different Ways to Replace Windows

Replacement windows come in many different styles and shapes. Choosing the one best suited for you and your home depends on the architectural style of your home, how and where the window is going to be used, and the type of performance you need from your windows. Learn more about each window style below as well as the ideal location and use for each one. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to select the style of windows you already have, especially if it doesn’t work for you!

Try New Double-hung windows

They are also the most popular. Best suited for window openings where the height is greater than the width, they are ideal choices for walls next to decks, patios & walkways. Cleaning is a breeze with double-hung windows, as both sashes easily open fully and tilt inward.

New Sliding Windows are great

They boast slim vertical lines for a clean, elegant look – a welcome addition for any architectural style. Ideal for window openings where the width is greater than the height, sliding replacement windows are a great choice for walls near a deck or walkway.

Casement Windows or Picture Windows

They have clean, simple lines that complement the architecture of modern homes well and can update the look of traditional homes. Awning windows work best in openings where the width is greater than the height, and casement windows are best suited for openings where the height is larger than the width. Both types of windows crank outward for ease of opening and cleaning, making them a perfect solution for the space above your kitchen sink.

Bow & Bay Windows for Majestic Appeal

A bay window is a collection of three windows at 25- to 45-degree angles, while bow windows contain 3, 4 or 5 windows at 10- or 15-degree angles. Both window styles are a beautiful focal point for any home and the perfect way to create a cozy reading nook or update an existing one. Choose double-hung or casement window styles as end vents to complete the perfect bow or bay window for your space.

Arched Windows
Arched windows are fixed windows, often part of a picture window. They are the perfect solution for openings with an abundance of natural light and hard-to-reach spaces where the windows do not need to open. Envision the look of your updated space.

Window Extras
