6 Window Types, 1 Perfect Match!

At Aspen Home Improvements, we consider ourselves successful matchmakers.

We have a reputation around Central, PA for being able to match your home with the perfect window.

Of course, choosing the right option for you depends on a variety of factors. The style of your home and the function of your window have a lot to do with the decision-making process. But we don’t disclude you from the conversation! Your personal preference and budget are also a major part in narrowing down your options.

Here are 6 of the main types of windows that you have to choose from.

Double-Hung. These windows are frequently installed in traditional homes. They are taller than they are wide and feature two sashes in one frame. You can either slide the bottom one up or the top one down to your preferred position.

Single-Hung. Single-hung windows are very similar to double-hung windows, except they only feature the bottom sash that slides up and down. Air circulation is much more limited because you can only open one-half of the window.

Casement. If you want a lot of air circulation, these windows are a great choice! It is one, larger window that opens by use of a crank. Instead of going up and down, these windows swing out. However, you may not want to place them near porches or patios because they take up more room than standard windows.

Sliding windows. Like a sliding glass door, these windows slide side to side rather than up or down. They are a very sleek and modern design!

Bay windows. Large-in-size and stunning in appearance, these windows will make any room look bigger than it actually is! They usually protrude from the house a little bit, adding dimension to your home. You will see much more natural light with bay windows!

Shaped windows. If you are looking for decoration and a way to let a small amount of natural light in, then you can look into shaped windows. Most are round or rectangular, but you can purchase hexagonal shapes as well. However, these windows provide no air circulation because they cannot be opened!

We know it’s hard to make a final decision with all of these options, but that’s what we’re here for! Contact us and we will send a member of our team to your home to discuss the best fit for you.
