The weather is starting to warm up around here and that means it’s almost home remodeling season. After a winter of harsh storms, many homeowners opt to finally replace their old windows in place of more aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient windows. At Bay State Exteriors, we want homeowners in the Peabody and North Shore area to know that you have plenty of options when it comes to windows for your home.
Different Window Styles of Homes
- Double-Hung Windows. Double hung windows are a common option for homeowners who are looking to maximize their indoor air flow. These windows can be opened from the top or the bottom.
- Casement Windows. These windows are perfect for instances in which you don’t want a window to open, but you still want some natural light via a window. Casement windows cannot open but they can add value to your home nonetheless.
- Bay Windows. Bay windows are a great option for those who have a large street-facing facade that they would like to improve. Our replacement window experts will remove your existing casement or single-hung window and install the three-sided bay window to maximize indoor light.
- Bow Windows. Similar to the bay window, bow windows have more than three facing sides and are generally much larger than bay windows. Bow windows are a great option for improving natural light inside your home and look great in living rooms and dining rooms.
- Garden Windows. Want to make sure your indoor plants or herbs are growing year-round? Installing a garden window in your kitchen is the perfect opportunity to have fresh herbs at the ready while ensuring your plants get 350 degree sunlight all year round.
- Slider Windows. Slider windows are becoming increasingly popular for homeowners in the North Shore area. These windows slide horizontally instead of vertically and because of this are very easy to use. These windows are also an affordable option for those who are on a tighter budget but don’t want to skimp on their home’s appearance.
- Basement Windows. Basement windows, also known as hopper windows, are great for homes that need basement ventilation. These windows open upwards and inwards in order to maximize air flow into your basement without letting any rain or snow into the basement.
- Awning Windows. Awning windows open downwards and outwards (opposite of the hopper windows) and are another great option for ground level rooms. These windows look beautiful from both the interior and exterior of the home and are most commonly used on non-street facing sides of the home.
