There are more and more styles than ever before, and you feel yourself shrinking underneath the weight of the decision. Relax and breath, as we are here to help you choose the most appropriate style based on your personality and specific window needs.

Awning Windows – These windows feature uninterrupted viewing, since the glass isn’t divided by grilles. This window is opened and closed by a crank and is incredibly ideal for someone who can’t or doesn’t want to muscle open a window. This window is perfect for hard-to-reach places, and if you love being in the kitchen, or if you’re looking for kitchen windows specifically, the awning style is a great choice.

Bay Windows – Do you absolutely love knickknacks? Do you enjoy displaying sentimental pieces and showcasing pictures of your loved ones? If so, a bay window may be the perfect choice. Bay windows are usually installed in living rooms, since they provide wide-angle viewing. Plus, bay windows feature a shelf where you can place photos, books, lamps, and much more.

Combination Windows ­– Combination windows are great for the indecisive window shopper. The center window resembles that of an awning window, with its uninterrupted view, and two double-hung side windows provide style and ventilation. This window is great if you want optimal viewing that is both beautiful and practical.

Double Hung – Double hung windows are incredibly traditional. These windows are usually found on colonial homes and are some of the most popular window replacement options. If you’re looking for something that looks classy and traditional, choosing double hung windows is a great choice.

Gliding Windows ­­­ – Craving something different and unique? Most windows only open vertically, so if you’re looking to make a statement, why not choose a window that opens horizontally? The gliding window does just that. It also feature uninterrupted viewing and is easy to clean due to the absence of window grilles.

Chances are one of these styles simply screamed your name. If so, be confident in your final decision and get excited for window replacements!
