Choose from Different Types of Windows for Your Home
Many St. Louis homes have more than one type of window. With so many options to choose from, choosing the best window for each application can be a difficult choice. Read on to learn more about the different window types to identify the best ones for every area of your home.
Double Hung Windows
Both double and single hung windows offer a traditional look and functionality for your home. With double hung windows, you can slide both the top and bottom sashes up or down to change the amount and type of ventilation entering or exiting your home. Double hung windows are great for well-used rooms and the upper floors of your home.
Benefits of these windows include:
- Regulate airflow to your indoor comfort
- Provide ample sunlight
- Offer ventilation
- Suit various architectural styles
- Easy to clean
- Energy Efficient® Certified options available
Casement Windows
A casement window is attached to its frame with hinges at the side. It cranks open outward to the left or right. Casement windows can be pushed open completely to create ample top to bottom ventilation. Casement windows are among the best types of windows to add above your kitchen sink, bathrooms, or any space that must be well-ventilated.
Benefits include:
- Excellent ventilation
- Unobstructed views
- Easy to clean
- Energy Efficient® Certified options available
Sliding/Glider Windows
Sliding windows slide horizontally along a track. As glider windows do not protrude when opened, they are a good option for rooms overlooking patios, walkways, or decks.
Benefits of these windows include:
- Easy operation
- Allow efficient use of space
- Panoramic views
- Good ventilation
Awning Windows
Awning windows are hinged at the top and crank open outward like a canopy. They are the best types of windows where good ventilation is a necessity, such as bathrooms.
Benefits include:
- Good ventilation
- Ample sunlight
- Strong glass with minimal to no air leakage
Picture Windows
Picture windows are stationary windows that do not open. They are used to showcase scenic views and in spaces that require more natural light. They offer no ventilation and are ideal for homes with efficient HVAC systems or in places where windows would not typically be opened.
Bow & Bay Windows
Bow windows are created by combining four or more smaller windows that follow an arced path. They protrude from the home’s exterior wall, allowing more light into indoor spaces. Bay windows are similar to bow windows but have a central inoperable window flanked by two identical windows.
Garden Windows
A garden window consists of four window panes fashioned together to form a box that protrudes out of the home. The top part of the window slants downwards at an angle to allow rain to run off. These types of windows are typically installed in kitchens and are ideal for growing herbs or showcasing small plants. Garden windows allow abundant natural light inside homes.
Specialty & Custom Windows
Custom windows are tailor-made to fit specific requirements. They are requested by St. Louis homeowners seeking unique window designs and specialty window shapes that add curb appeal or serve as unique focal points.
