Let’s put a name to the popular windows that you see so very often. You probably never had to consider all the different types of windows to choose from, until it was time to do some home improvement jobs like, window replacements. In this blog, we are going to discuss about the top 5 most popular windows.
1. Double Hung Windows
Both sashes in the window can move up and down. With a single hung window, the top sash stays in place and only the bottom sash can move up and down. The benefit of a double hung window is it has a more traditional look and the ability to let fresh air in, while still keeping the cost relatively low. Double hung windows at a good price are not hard to find.
2. Slider Windows
Let’s call these the “retro” windows. One window stays fixed and the other can move side to side. These types of windows were most commonly seen in the 50’s or 60’s however, nowadays, they are still seen as very modern with their minimalistic, clean look. These windows also allow the ability to let fresh air in.
3. Casement Windows
Casement windows are probably the most common type windows being installed in residential homes. One side of the window is hinged and it can be opened and closed similar to the function of a door. Casement windows are known to be the best in the industry for keeping out the breeze or unwanted hot and cold air into the home. This is because, when a casement window is closed, the sash presses against the frame and can be locked into place, like a seal. When open, casement windows also allow the ability to let fresh air in and primarily functions with the use of a crank.
4. Fixed Windows
These types of windows are mostly seen in large commercial areas or even some loft type condominiums. They have an extremely modern look and usually take up large portions of an area. It’s great for letting in a lot of sunlight and in the evening, it’s great for the view of the city lights. Fixed windows do not move and cannot be opened, therefore cannot let in any fresh air. An area with fixed windows would need a good ventilation system.
5. Skylights
A window in the roof. Skylights are great for letting in light into the home with a view of the sky and clouds. It’s also great for cooling down a warm house. Since heat rises, the warm air will have a direct route outside the home.
