Window styles play a major role in your home’s design, comfort and energy-efficiency capabilities. Choosing windows with enhanced insulation properties like argon gas can help lower utility costs and keep your space warmer throughout the year.
Window styles generally fall into two categories, fixed and operable. We offer both to provide a wide range of options that suit any budget.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are a timeless classic that offer the perfect blend of style and functionality. They have two movable sashes, both the top and bottom, which slide vertically within the window frame to open and close.
This design allows for a larger degree of ventilation and can reduce air leakage. Additionally, double-hung windows are easy to clean from inside the house. They also come with a range of aesthetic options including grilles-between-glass, simulated divided lites, and many different colors.
A drawback of double-hung windows is that they may be more costly than some other window styles. However, they are durable and can add a significant amount of value to your home.
Single-Hung Windows
If you want a traditional look with more versatile airflow, single-hung windows might be the best choice for your Huntsville home. They feature a single sash that moves up and down, unlike double hung windows that open both the top and bottom sashes.
Window frames and materials play a big role in overall energy efficiency. Explore durable options like fiberglass to reduce your utility bills and improve home comfort. You can also find energy-efficient windows with low emissivity coatings to block damaging UV rays and keep heat inside your home during the winter.
Compare window styles based on their functionality and maintenance needs. Double hung windows are better for areas that require ventilation control and are safer around young children. However, they’re typically pricier than single-hung windows. Evaluate your budget, window location and utility costs to make an informed decision.
Single Sliding Windows
Single slider windows have two side-by-side window panes connected to a frame. However, only one pane can open. They slide horizontally and are easy to operate.
These windows allow for airflow and ventilation, especially in rooms with higher ceilings. They maximize ventilation by allowing both warm air (which rises) and cool air to circulate, maintaining a consistent room temperature.
Sliding windows come in a variety of styles, and are available in wood or aluminum frames. Aluminum is a strong material that resists corrosion and rust, making it ideal for humid or rainy climates. Wood has a classic charm and provides warmth to your home, but requires regular maintenance to prevent warping, rotting, or mold growth. Our sliding windows are also available in a combination of materials, such as vinyl or clad wood, which provide the benefits of each material and fit various home designs. They are also energy efficient. They have insulated frames and multi-chambered sashes that create air pockets for better thermal efficiency.
Casement Windows
Known for their exceptional ventilation and attractive aesthetic, casement windows are the choice of homeowners who prioritize energy efficiency and well-rounded functionality. The hinged design of these windows allows them to open wider than traditional double-hung or sliding window types, allowing fresh air to flow freely into your home’s interior.
This window type also offers superior security, as the lack of a movable sash makes it difficult to pry them open from the outside. Additionally, the tight seal they create when closed eliminates air leakage.
Our casement windows are available in a wide variety of colors to match your unique taste and complement your home’s architectural style. You can even select options that meet high energy efficiency standards to minimize your heating and cooling costs and enhance comfort year-round. Our casement windows offer maximized glass space with minimal frames to provide unobstructed views. They also feature a sleek appearance that blends easily with various home styles.
