Choose the Best Replacement Window Style for Your Home in Philadelphia and Surrounding Areas
When shopping for replacement windows, it’s important to consider your budget, your home’s style, and how you want the windows to perform. Some other things to think about when selecting windows are ventilation, privacy, security, and maintenance level.
There are many different types of replacement windows to choose from:
Bay or bow windows
Bay and bow windows project outward from the outside wall of the home. They’re ideal for maximizing room space, allowing in more light, and accenting a great view.
Casement windows
Casement windows are hinged on one end and pivot out for ventilation at the other end. They’re easy to open and provide good air flow.
Double-hung windows
Double-hung windows are some of the most common. Both the upper and lower sashes open for ventilation. Many double-hung windows are also designed with a sash that tilts inward, making it easy to clean the exterior surface of the window from inside your house.
Single-hung windows
Single-hung windows look similar to double-hung units, but only the lower sash opens. Some single-hung window designs allow you to tilt the sash inward to clean the exterior.
Picture windows
Picture windows are fixed units that are designed to give you a wide, unobstructed view and let in lots of light. They can be perfect as a centerpiece window for a living room.
Awning windows
Awning windows have a hinged sash that tilts out from the bottom. The unique design of an awning window helps keep rain out when the window is open.
