Savor the style of new windows while saving hundreds on your energy bills. New windows not only give you a new perspective on your surroundings, but they also make your home appear in a whole new light to your neighbors and guests. When you trade your single-paned casements for new energy-efficient windows, you can pocket up to $465 per year in heating and cooling savings, according to Energy Star. Additionally, new windows increase the value of your home and keep your family more comfortable, no matter the season. Consider the following window profiles to upgrade your home’s curb appeal with luxurious, state-of-the-art style.
Bows and Bays
Wrap up your home improvement project with the addition of a space-making bay or bow window unit. Because they pop outward, bows and bays actually increase your viewing space beyond that of a flat window, so they are especially lovely when overlooking a formal garden or water feature.
Casements
One of the hottest current window styles, the casement window has a hinge along one side and opens outward, typically with the help of a manual crank that is easy to operate. They are very energy-efficient because the wind simply blows the casement against its outer seal, improving rather than infiltrating its defenses.
Sliders
Sliding windows, whether full-sized doors or wall-mounted, invite the outdoors in with undivided views. If you think that this window style is overly reminiscent of the 1970s and 80s, take a look at contemporary sliders to see what’s changed over the years. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Picture Windows
Today’s tech-enhanced picture windows have two or three panes with insulating argon or krypton gas in between. They also feature a low-emissive coating to diffuse punishing solar rays. Stationary picture windows help seal your home’s exterior envelope while at the same time opening your interior space to breathtaking views of your landscape.
Single and Double-Hung Windows
Single-hung and double-hung windows were the standard window styles in older homes, but new models are far more efficient. They are composed of a pair of windows that overlap at the center. In a single-hung window, the lower panel moves up to open while in a double-hung version, both the top and bottom panels slide vertically. You can dress them up with grille work to recreate the vintage look original to your home.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are great choices for vintage and contemporary homes alike because they are so versatile. They have hinges at the top and open outward, so they work well in tight spaces. When placed below a stationary window, they scoop up fresh air while looking stylish.
