SINGLE AND DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS
These are two of the most popular types of windows and are commonly found throughout the house in bedrooms, the living room, and bathrooms. Each type of window is made up of two halves, or sashes: an upper and a lower sash.
- With double-hung windows, the bottom sash can be opened upward and the top sash can be opened downward. Double-hung windows can provide greater air flow, but over time, the top portion may develop problems where it won’t stay all the way up.
- With single-hung windows, only the bottom sash can be opened, while the top portion remains stationary. Single-hung windows are less expensive, but don’t allow for the same amount of air circulation, which is important for any Texas home.
BAY OR BOW WINDOWS
If you want to add some architectural appeal to your home with your replacement windows, a bay or bow type window is a great choice. Both types of windows protrude from the home, creating additional interior space, which makes for a great seating area.
- Bay windows are typically constructed with a single fixed window in the middle with either a single- or double-hung window on either side. Since the windows on either side are functional, the window can provide some air flow into the home.
- Bow windows consist of four or five fixed windows, creating a more circular protrusion from the home and allowing for more natural light. However, bow windows are commonly fixed, or non-operational, so they don’t provide any airflow.
PICTURE, OR FIXED WINDOWS
A beautiful and traditional style, picture windows are typically larger, yet stationary or fixed windows often seen in living rooms. They allow a lot of natural light and can highlight views seen from the house. If air flow is important, and there aren’t any other windows in the room, single- or double-hung windows can be added to either side of the picture window so that there is some ventilation. Because there aren’t any window sashes, there isn’t the problem of gaps and leaking air. However, because picture windows are generally larger, they also let in a lot of heat, so a window covering will be important in the Texas climate. Talk with your replacement window company about the pros and cons of a picture window in your home.
CASEMENT WINDOWS
The distinguishing feature of a casement window is that they open up from either the left or right instead of the top or bottom; they are opened by turning a crank. Casement windows can come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can feature internal grilles giving them a look similar to single- or double-hung windows. Casement windows are typically more energy-efficient as well; on a windy day, the air will push against the window, strengthening the seal and preventing air from leaking. If you’re debating between casement or single/double-hung for your window replacement, the deciding factor for many homeowners is how the window is opened: pushing or cranking.
AWNING WINDOWS
Awning windows feature a hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom. This type of window is also opened with a crank and is a great way to get natural ventilation into a space. Awning windows are generally wider than they are tall, making them a good choice for rooms that need privacy, such as a bathroom. This style of window works well in rainy climates, where they can be opened to let air in but avoid water getting inside the home. Awning windows can also be installed in combination with a fixed window, which will allow more light into the room.
SLIDING WINDOWS
As the name implies, sliding windows open on a track, one window moves from left to right over or past a second window. Sliding windows are commonly seen in basements as they’re easy to find the right size to meet egress requirements. However, they can be used throughout a home, especially in combination with a fixed window. If you’re having trouble choosing the right type of window for your replacement project, it often comes down to the room, the desired size and shape, and how the window opens.
