When you picture replacement windows in Goshen, IN in your mind, there’s a good chance that you picture either single-hung or double-hung windows. These are easily the most common types of windows in American homes. They’re standard windows that you open and close by pushing them either up or down.
These are far from the only types of windows that you can have installed in your home, though. There are also more than a dozen other kinds of windows that would be a perfect fit for your home. You should learn about them before you begin shopping around for new windows for your house. Here are some of the most common types of replacement windows around.
Sliding windows
Single-hung and double-hung windows are, as we just mentioned, windows that you open and close by moving them up or down. Sliding windows, on the other hand, are windows that you open and close by pushing them to the left or right. Oftentimes, these windows are a lot easier to open and close than single-hung and double-hung windows. They can also come in a wide variety of sizes based on how large you need them to be.
Awning windows
When it starts raining outside in the spring or summer, what’s the first thing you do? Chances are, you run around shutting all the windows in your home. With awning windows, you wouldn’t have to worry about doing that. Awning windows are designed to open outwards from the bottom, thus creating an “awning” over your open windows. Rain won’t be able to get into your awning windows, no matter how hard it might be coming down.
Picture windows
Do you want to install Goshen, IN windows in your home that are going to allow you to enjoy picturesque views of everything that surrounds your house? Then you’re going to fall in love with the idea of installing picture windows. These windows don’t open and close at all, but they do provide people with the amazing views that they’re looking for from the interior of their home. You can have a picture window made to be almost any size so that you can spend more time enjoying the views that your house has to offer.
Bay windows
Much like picture windows, bay windows are usually very large and offer great views. But they also take things a step further than that. Bay windows jut out from the interior of a home and provide people with a small ledge that they can use. They also bring a lot of natural light into a home and have a tendency to make small spaces feel much bigger than they are.
