Window styles play a major role in defining the overall ambiance of any space. They also enhance natural light, improve ventilation and help reduce energy bills.
When selecting new windows for your home, it’s important to choose a contractor with years-ideally decades-of experience in Madison AL window installation. This will ensure that your project goes smoothly and that your new windows are properly matched with your climate.
Casement Windows
With a hinged design, casement windows swing outward like a door and can be opened using a crank or handle. Their minimal frames provide unobstructed views and a sleek aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary home styles. Their tight seal when closed makes them energy efficient.
Our window replacement team can install single-frame casement windows and clad wood casement windows that combine the beauty of natural wood with weather resistance. They can also install awning windows that open inward, ideal for areas where an outward swing could obstruct pathways or outdoor spaces.
Double-Hung Windows
Unlike sliding windows, double-hung windows have both a top and bottom window sash that open vertically. Opening both window sashes allows for customizable airflow while maintaining an energy efficient home or business in Madison AL.
Compared to other popular window styles, double-hung windows are easy to clean and have a tight seal that reduces your energy bills year-round. Our 6000 Series windows feature Low-E glass that reduces solar heat accumulation, minimizes interior glare and keeps your space warm in the winter.
This style of window is perfect for hard to reach places and can be angled to catch breezes that improve your home’s ventilation. All of our 6000 Series windows are ENERGY STAR Certified.
Garden Windows
Like a mini greenhouse, garden windows allow you to enjoy your indoor garden year-round. They can be used in kitchens and baths, allowing you to grow herbs or flowers in a window that can be opened to allow fresh air into your home.
These specialized windows extend outward from your home, creating a three-dimensional space that allows for sunlight, ventilation, and built-in shelving. They also offer insulation, improving comfort and energy savings throughout your home.
As replacement windows, they are inserted into your existing frames, offering a less invasive solution for upgrading living spaces. Available with a variety of glass options, frames, and customization features to align with your style preferences.
Bay Windows
Bay windows offer more natural light and a unique aesthetic to homes and businesses. They can increase the value of your property and create a charming interior nook for reading, dining, or storage.
Both angled and box bay windows come in a variety of shapes. Angled bay windows feature a picture window in the center and smaller window panes on either side, while box bay windows have a squarer look.
Circular angled bay windows add a dramatic architectural element to buildings and allow for panoramic views and ample natural light. Oriel-style bay windows are supported by brackets or corbels and do not reach the ground, adding a classic look to older homes.
Bow Windows
Bow windows are similar to bay windows but have a more rounded design. They are made up of multiple casement windows arranged in a gentle curve and provide extra space inside your home. This allows you to create a cozy reading nook or seating area.
JELD-WEN bow windows come in several grille formations to suit your style preferences. Choose from Colonial grid, Diamond grid, or a variety of other options.
They’re a great addition to any room and add value to your home. But like any window style, proper maintenance is crucial for their longevity and performance. Properly cleaning and insulating your bow windows will ensure they continue to offer you a panoramic view and plenty of natural light.
Sliding Windows
Also known as sliding windows or glider windows, these are among the simplest replacement window designs. They look like double-hung windows but have sashes that slide horizontally. This means they can be opened and closed even if you have no space to swing the sash open.
They fit into large openings, providing unobstructed views and letting in lots of natural light. They also go well in modern homes and blend with most architectural styles.
You can even get a three-sash gliding window that’s great for over kitchen sinks where you want to enjoy the view and vent out cooking smells. However, it can be difficult to clean the outside of these windows.
