Spring is right around the corner. While many are probably busy planning their warm-weather activities, it might be an ideal time to spruce up your home with new windows. Can’t decide on what type of window to choose for your home? You’ve come to the right place.
As one of the most trusted window installers in the area, Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing takes pride in providing the best home renovation tips. In this article, we’ll be sharing the best window styles to choose from.
Casement Windows
These types of windows are opened horizontally, with top and bottom hinges affixed to one side of the windows. Casement windows are opened and closed not unlike a door. They offer considerable security against intruders as the gap they provide when open is fairly narrow. However, they cannot be classified as egress windows unless they are wide enough.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are perhaps the most commonly used type of window. Many are familiar with the two large sashes that slide up and down vertically. They look best in homes with traditional architectural style, but they can also complement the appearance of modern homes. Double-hung windows are offered by a majority of window replacement contractors.
Picture Windows
If you have access to a great view or outdoor scenery, picture windows are the ideal windows for you. Just make sure to choose a window with low-E glass coating that can block harmful UV rays while still providing a stunning spectacle. The only downside to picture windows is that they cannot be opened. Homeowners with picture windows usually utilize operable windows and install the latter right beside the former to provide ventilation as needed.
