Types of Residential Windows
As window experts, we are focused on quality installs and building products no matter what type of window we are working with. Our team has been working with homeowners across Connecticut to deliver quality residential windows from picture to double hung and even bow. You name it, we install it.
Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows have become the go-to window type for many new builds and recent remodels here in CT. These windows are hung vertically and allow both the bottom and top panels to slide open with little effort. Both panels will also have locking mechanisms to ensure you have full control over your window for security and ventilation.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are a great option for those who are looking for maximum ventilation, especially in the bedroom or bathroom. These windows are very similar to double-hung windows in that the panels slide, but they differ in that the sliding panels move horizontally, just like a sliding glass door. You can choose to add a screen to keep bugs out.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are such an asset for those looking for good ventilation but might not have the space for a double-hung or sliding window. These windows are hinged on one side and are opened via a crank that allows the window panel to swing out. In addition, casement windows offer excellent airflow and are known for sealing tightly against the exterior.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are great for tight spaces where you need to go up, rather than swing out. These windows are hinged at the top and open up to create a mini roof for your home. These windows are generally used in upper stories or basements and hung high up on the wall. They are a unique option for a sleek look when you want fresh air, natural light and privacy.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are a classic residential window option that provide unobstructed views and great natural light. Unlike other window types on the market, picture windows do not open, making them more energy-efficient and offering a secure, clear view for your home. They are great for using in the middle between other operable windows.
Bow Windows
Bow windows are among the best window types for those looking to add a focal point to their room and increase their home’s interior space. Bow windows use a continuous curve of four or more window panes to create a cozy space with ample natural light, perfect for a living room, recreation room or formal dining room.
Bay Windows
Bay windows are closely related to bow windows in that they both add interior space to your home through a window feature. They differ in that they normally are large center picture window with smaller angled windows around it and a seat or shelf in the middle. These windows are amazing for growing plants, or creating a custom reading nook for your kids.
Window Materials
What are Residential Windows Made of?
Residential windows have seen massive improvements in terms of technology and longevity over the past few decades. With today’s materials, you can enjoy a window that can handle the freeze-and-thaw we experience here in New England and is resistant to fading, warping, and discoloration from direct sunlight.
Vinyl
Vinyl has quickly become the most popular window material due to its relatively budget-friendly cost and ability to withstand moisture and direct sun. With a range of colors and finishes, vinyl windows require almost no maintenance except for occasional cleaning and are a great option for luxury and new-build homes here in Connecticut.
Wood
Wood is the traditional window material and offers a classic aesthetic that cannot be matched in look and feel. Wood windows are typically found in historic and high-end homes that can afford the regular painting and staining required to maintain the windows. Without these protective measures, your window and frame will warp and potentially rot over time.
Composite
Composite is becoming more popular as people look for a wood-like feature without the costs and maintenance that comes with wood windows. Composite windows are typically made of blended materials, such as polymers and wood particles, and are extremely low-maintenance, just like vinyl windows. With a range of looks and colors available, they might be the right fit for your exterior design.
