You have a lot of decisions to make in your home improvement project, and the types of windows you’d like in your home is one of them. Knowing all your options and comparing the benefits of each will help you make the right choice. The windows listed below are very popular because of their versatility and the unique benefits that they each offer.  

Here are just a few excellent choices for your project:

  • Double-Hung: These windows have two panes of glass which each take up half the window space and each run on their own track. This allows you to open half the window at a time, and because it slides, the pane doesn’t protrude in or out from the window space. They are popular in bathrooms and bedrooms because you can easily get airflow through the room without having the inconvenience of a pane sticking out.
  • Single-Hung: These are similar to double-hung windows, but rather than allowing both window panes to move, one is fixed while the other side moves. As a result, you can still enjoy having half the window open, but you cannot choose which side it is.
  • windowsCasement: This style opens on a hinge, typically with a crank-type handle to open or close and lock the window. They open outwards, so that when you open the window the pane protrudes to the outside of the house. You’ll be able to choose which side the hinge is on.
  • Picture: These are a great choice if you live in a location with a nice view or an open, private side of the home. They are extremely large stationary windows, meaning they don’t open. They are designed to let in as much light as possible with very small margins around each pane so the view can be enjoyed.
  • Transom: This small, narrow window can be designed to open or be stationary. They are placed either above windows or doorways to let in additional light. Because they are high up on the wall, there’s no privacy concerns.
