8 Stylish Home Window Designs for Your Home Makeover
Choosing window designs for your replacement windows can be fun but a bit daunting. Selecting new windows is basically giving your home a makeover. You want to find the right window style to suit both your home’s style and your personal taste.
But with so many vinyl windows styles available today, how do you choose? There are many types of windows, from traditional wooden windows to energy-efficient vinyl windows. Here is a run-down of the most popular window styles available today.
Types of Window Designs For Your Home
Awning Windows
Awning windows are great for those areas that are a bit harder to reach, such as above countertops. They open outward via a hinge with a crank handle, so they are easy to operate. They protect your home from rain and snow while providing maximum airflow.
Architectural Windows
Architectural windows are perfect if you are looking to add a touch of flair to your home, as they are designed in uncommon sizes and shapes, such as arches, circles, and triangles. They can be custom designed to meet your needs and are a great way to add character to your home.
Bow and Bay Windows
Bow and bay windows are one of the most trendy and awesome designs, giving your home a three-dimensional vibe. They consist of three or more sections combined to form an alcove. They are a great choice for rooms where you would like to add a study nook or window seat.
Casement Windows
Similar to awning windows, casement window designs open via a hung but open to the left or right, as opposed to the top. As such, they are an excellent source of ventilation and are highly energy efficient. They can be paired with fixed windows if so desired.
Contour Series Windows
Contour series windows are designed with finely sculpted lines to help with light reflection and are great at eliminating glare. They are a great option for those who are looking for window designs that are both energy efficient and fashionable.
End Vent Windows
End vent windows are designed for a large middle unit, tilt and slide windows, and a fixed section. They are typically installed in those homes with larger window areas that want modern and stylish window designs.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed and inoperable but can be paired with casement windows on either side if you need ventilation. They are perfect for opening up a room, allowing maximum natural light, and providing a gorgeous view of the great outdoors.
Single and Double Hung Tilt Windows
Single-hung tilt windows are designed with one pane that operates vertically, while double-hung tilt windows are designed with two panes that operate vertically as well. They can be designed to tilt inwards, outwards, or both, according to your preference. They are easy to clean and can be equipped with a screen for airflow and to prevent bugs from getting inside your home.
Sliding Tilt Windows
Sliding tilt windows are ideal for those who need windows for tight spaces. They still allow ample ventilation as they can tilt outward if needed. They slide horizontally on a track and can open as much or as little as you desire.
All of these window designs can be custom designed in a variety of shapes, finishes, and sizes and can be equipped with decorative glass, window grids, added locking mechanisms, and extra insulation. All of these windows are stylish, energy-efficient, and durable.
