Window styles can dramatically affect a room’s design, comfort and energy efficiency. Choose windows that can open and close to control air infiltration, avoid moisture intrusion and prevent your HVAC system from overworking.
Sliding windows, also known as horizontal sliders, slide horizontally to open, maximizing natural light penetration and allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the home. They are available in clad-wood and steel options for added durability.
Picture Windows
Picture windows captivate living spaces with their expansive views of the landscape, serene garden, or bustling cityscape. They also allow ample natural light to enter the room, brightening up a space with architectural elegance.
This window style offers a simple, unobstructed design and can be customized in any shape to fit your home or business. Custom frames are available in a wide range of colors and grid patterns, such as Colonial grids, which feature small squares separated by muntins, and Prairie grids, inspired by Craftsman-style homes.
Due to their lack of moving parts, picture windows offer exceptional energy efficiency compared to other operable windows. With the help of advanced technology, such as low-emissivity glass coatings and double- or triple-pane glass, they minimize heat transfer while regulating indoor temperatures.
Bay Windows
Designed to expand interior space, bay windows feature three or more window panes that are set at angles to each other. They let natural light flood in from multiple directions, creating a cozy alcove that enhances both the interior and exterior of your home.
They’re a popular choice for homeowners looking to add extra shelving, storage, or seating to their homes. The ledge of a bay or bow window can also be decorated with plants, window boxes, and more.
Choose from our selection of fiberglass and vinyl bay windows, both of which are durable and require less maintenance than wood windows. For a more eco-friendly option, consider clad bay windows, which combine wood interiors with protective exterior cladding. Our windows are available in a variety of colors to suit your aesthetic preferences.
Garden Windows
Garden windows protrude outward like a small greenhouse, offering a space for plants and vases or a spot for a window garden. They offer lots of natural light and create a unique decorative element for the home, typically installed above kitchen sinks.
They’re smaller than standard double-hung windows and are hinged at the bottom to open inward, allowing air to circulate. Garden windows are a great way to make the most of the space above kitchen sinks or in any room with limited wall space.
Wood garden window frames require refinishing or staining every few years to keep them from warping, cracking, or rotting. They’re also one of the more expensive window types to install. However, they provide increased resale value and are often easier to maintain than other frame materials.
Tilt-and-Turn Windows
Tilt-and-turn windows look like casement windows but offer a more versatile operation. They can be tipped inward from the top for secure ventilation or fully opened like a door, creating a wide opening that’s ideal for cleaning.
These windows are popular in Europe and are gaining popularity in the US. They have a sleek appearance and provide excellent noise control flexibility, while also offering security and energy efficiency.
Our Madison window replacement team offers bay and bow windows that open outward to create a curved appearance in your home. These windows add visual interest and can help brighten a space that feels cramped. They’re also an excellent choice for rooms that need ample ventilation. They’re a great alternative to single- or double-hung windows that don’t open from the top.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows, a popular choice in modern homes, provide a spacious unobstructed view of the outdoors and let in plenty of natural light. With their sleek aesthetic, they can elevate the overall design of any home.
Sliding windows open horizontally, making them easy to operate. They come in different options, including single-slider windows that only open from the bottom and clad-wood slider windows that have wood interiors with metal exteriors to protect them against weather conditions.
Tilt-and-slide windows are a unique combination of features that work best for Madison homeowners who want the ease of operation of a sliding window with added ventilation capabilities. These windows tilt inward from the top for ventilation and slide horizontally like a traditional slider. This makes them a perfect option for areas that would be difficult to reach with other types of windows.
