Choosing the right window style can make all the difference in your comfort and energy efficiency. The wrong windows can create drafts, cause moisture and condensation problems, and cost you money on high energy bills.
Whether you choose wood, vinyl, or aluminum frames, we offer Low E glass to improve energy performance and reduce heating and cooling costs. The styles we offer include both fixed and operable windows.
Vinyl
High quality vinyl windows improve your home’s comfort, save you money on energy bills, and add a beautiful, timeless look. They also resist rotting, rust, and insects.
These windows have two panes of glass with a space in between that is filled with Argon gas to increase insulating properties. These windows are a great option for the energy conscious Huntsville homeowner.
Wood
Wood windows are a classic choice for any home. They add beauty and elegance, and are also a great choice for historic homes. They require regular maintenance, though.
Unlike vinyl, wood accepts paints and varnishes extremely well. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners who want to alter the color of their window frames. They also have better energy-efficiency when they’re filled with Argon gas. This helps keep the heat in during our cold winters.
Aluminum
Aluminum windows are durable and resistant to moisture, rust, dust and other environmental contaminants. They also feature crisp aesthically pleasing profiles and factory finishes.
However, the metal frames tend to conduct heat and cold, so they may not be the best choice if energy efficiency is your top priority. Today, however, many aluminum frames have been engineered with thermal breaks and Low-E glass for enhanced insulation and energy savings. This makes them a viable option for savvy homeowners.
Casement
Casement windows are hinged on the side and open by swinging outward. They operate similar to awning windows, except they can be opened from the left or right and provide a tighter seal for energy efficiency.
In-swing casement windows are great for areas where a swinging out sash would obstruct pathways or outdoor spaces. They also allow for ventilation and are easy to clean from inside your home.
Many homeowners choose to combine a picture window with a casement for a Bay. This combination upgrades a room and allows for more natural light and ventilation.
Double Hung
Double hung windows are classics that can be found on many homes. These windows allow both the top and bottom sashes to open, providing excellent ventilation for your Huntsville AL home.
They are also easy to clean because the sashes can tilt inward. This makes them a great choice for homeowners with kids and pets who are looking to avoid having to go outside to wipe down the glass. They pair well with colonial, traditional and Victorian aesthetics and designs.
Awning
Awning windows operate like casements but open from the bottom upward. They allow you to bring in fresh air during a rainy day in Huntsville AL without soaking your interior.
Combining two window panes, this style allows a second pocket for Argon gas making them energy efficient. They also offer a tighter seal making them perfect for our colder weather.
Awnings are a beautiful addition to your home or commercial storefront. Signarama Huntsville (Madison) AL can help you design awning graphics that complement your company’s theme and expression.
Transom
Transom windows are a great way to infuse your home with natural light. They are also a beautiful addition to an entryway. They come in many different shapes and styles.
Typically found above doorways into living rooms and bedrooms, they can also be added to existing window setups. Since they are fixed and cannot open or close, these windows add a visual element to the space rather than serving as a ventilation solution.
They may feature a solid window or a panel of intricately etched, leaded, or stained glass. They are often decorative and their beauty is the primary reason for installing them in homes.
Bay & Bow
The style you choose for your replacement windows plays a pivotal role in the design, comfort, and energy efficiency of your home. You have a variety of options available to you, from fixed to operable.
Bay and bow windows add a space for seating or decoration to a room, as well as extra square footage. They consist of a fixed window in the center joined to your choice of venting windows on either side.
The spaces between your windows can be filled with various inert gases to improve insulation and heat retention. You can also select a grid pattern like the colonial grid or a diamond grid to add visual interest to your home.
