Replacement Windows

KEEP WEATHER OUT, LET AIR IN

Replacing those old, drafty windows with good replacement windows allows you to control indoor air quality and comfort. In the winter, modern windows tightly seal your home against cold drafts, preserving warmth and reducing heating costs. You can help cut the cold even more by adding non-operating windows like radius windows and picture windows. During summer, features like adjustable openings and screens let in fresh air and cool breezes, enhancing comfort without opening your home to pests or compromising security.

CUT THE GLARE AND SAVE ENERGY

Keeping the weather outside where it belongs can also help you save on energy bills. Replacement windows with extra high-efficiency forms of Low-E insulated glass cut the glare of too much sunlight, particularly in rooms used for working on a computer or watching TV, while still letting in natural light.

Add curtains and shades to easily control the amount of light even more. Properly installed replacement windows with insulated glass keep your home comfortable and can lower your energy bills.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WINDOW FOR EACH LOCATION

Replacement windows can completely transform your home. Want to make a room look larger or take advantage of a great view? Add a picture window to your living room with casement or single-hung windows on either side to give your room both light-filled views and ventilation. Want to add a touch of sophistication? Positioning an arched window over a double-hung window adds style, even in a bathroom or mudroom.

You can also make the switch to casement or awning windows, which you can easily open with one hand using a crank. These are great choices for tight spaces or windows that are higher up on walls and difficult to reach. Maintenance is another thing to consider: On upper floors, double hung windows that tilt in can make cleaning easier.

BALANCING PRIVACY AND LETTING IN LIGHT

Not every room in your home needs a big, open picture window or horizontal slider. For windows in entryways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and other private areas, consider choosing obscure glass. They come in a variety of textured patterns and tints with translucent and semi-opaque effects, providing privacy without adding window coverings. Skylights and transom windows are also great ideas for adding light without compromising privacy.

Whether you live in a colonial, modern, or ranch-style home, updating your windows is one of the easiest ways to boost curb appeal and help increase the value of your home. You can maintain your home’s previous style by choosing from various window grids and trim colors when you select your replacement windows. 

It’s especially important for the windows on the front of your home to complement your architectural style. Many home styles call for symmetrical, traditional design, particularly in neighborhoods with HOA specifications and local building codes. Your dealer can work with you to design the home you both need and want. 

Sliding windows operate by one sash gliding horizontally over another, offering a sleek, contemporary look. They are ideal for spaces where exterior protrusion is a concern, providing ample light and ventilation without occupying additional space.

Double hung windows allow both the upper and lower sashes to move, providing superior ventilation and ease of cleaning. This flexibility makes them a popular choice for homeowners seeking both functionality and aesthetic appeal in a variety of home styles.

Awning windows, hinged at the top and opening outward, offer unique architectural interest and functionality. They provide excellent ventilation and protection from the rain, making them ideal for adding character and comfort to any room.

Casement windows feature a side hinge, opening outward like a door. This design allows for maximum ventilation and offers an unobstructed view, making them a preferred choice for homeowners looking for ease of use and energy efficiency.

Picture windows are fixed units designed to offer expansive views and flood a room with natural light. Their large, unobstructed glass area makes them perfect for highlighting outdoor landscapes while enhancing the aesthetic value of your home.

Specialty windows are custom designed to fit unique architectural openings, providing a tailored solution for any home. Whether for aesthetic or functional needs, these windows can enhance the unique character of your property while meeting specific design requirements.
