What Kind of Replacement Windows Should You Get?

There are many signs that indicate the need for replacement windows, such as overall age, functional difficulty, or obvious signs of wear and tear. The question is, what kind of replacement windows should you get? The many window options out there can be overwhelming, so we’ve compiled a list to help you make your decision.

What Kind of Replacement Windows Should You Get?

  • Bay windows: With bay windows, you can create a peaceful environment where one can sit, relax, and enjoy the view your window offers. Bay windows consist of three windows forming a polygonal shape. These windows protrude outwards from your home, and the extra space that will be added inside your home is often perfect for a reading or sitting area.
  • Bow windows: These windows are similar to bay windows, but instead of the windows forming a polygonal shape, bow windows form a rounded, arch-shaped section protruding from your home. The curved glass offers many customization opportunities to get the perfect windows.
  • Casement windows: If you’re looking for energy-efficient windows, then casement windows are the perfect type for you. Unlike regular windows, casement windows are fixed to the left or right side of the frame with a hinge that allows you to swing the windows open or closed.
  • Double-hung windows: The functionality of windows varies between the different types. For double-hung windows, there are two sashes that allow you to open the window from the top or the bottom and better control the air flow.
