Read our blog for more insight on the various types of windows that are worth considering for any upcoming window replacement projects that you have in mind!

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows are among the most popular in today’s homes. This style features two sashes, both of which can open vertically while remaining inside the window frame; this prevents any annoying protrusion. Double-hung windows are especially great for families with young children, as the top portion can be opened to allow for fresh air without worrying about potential injuries due to an open bottom section.

Casement Windows

Casement windows are ideal for situations when a homeowner wants to take full advantage of a beautiful view, but still wants to be able to let in fresh air. These windows have hinges that allow them to open outward or inward on one side. This means they have a large surface area that is not marred by sashes or other mechanisms.

Single-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows are extremely similar to double-hung windows, but, as you might have suspected, only have one sash that opens. They are typically less costly than their double-hung counterparts, but sometimes concern homeowners who have little ones and pets that could fall through the open area.

Bay and Bow Windows

These types of windows are not only visually appealing, but they actually add floor space to a room because they extend outside of the primary exterior wall. Some houses, especially those that were built during historic eras, already have bay and bow windows. If you are thinking about adding one of these window styles, however, you will have to talk to your contractor about the logistics.
