Window replacements come in a variety of shapes and sizes, providing a fresh appearance and complementing your home’s overall design. However, determining the right replacements can be a challenge. Simplify the decision-making process by considering the top six products on the market and the benefits of each.

Types of Window Replacements

1. Double Hung

Both panes of these windows — top and bottom — are fully operational and can slide or tilt open. This allows homeowners to increase indoor airflow without creating an escape route for curious kids and pets.

2. Casement

These windows open outward and function with the use of a lever or crank. They’re slightly longer than the average window and provide a touch of elegance to the home.

3. Bay/Bow

These windows make the room appear bigger than it is. Both styles contain multiple panes that curve outward and create a spacious, arced sill. The only difference is bay windows generally have three panes of glass while bow windows have four to five.

4. Horizontal Slider

These windows are popular because they’re easy to open, gliding from side to side. They also allow for full, top-to-bottom ventilation and are recommended for contemporary structures.

5. Picture

This style of window is ideal for properties with a view. Their frames are thinner than most, and a single pane of glass perfectly frames the natural beauty of the outdoors.

6. Garden

The depth of these windows creates a unique greenhouse space on your windowsill — a convenient location for small, potted herbs in the kitchen. You’ll have plenty of space for several flower pots for a mini indoor garden.
