Whether you’re building new or replacing existing windows, finding the right window style is essential. Local window installation professionals can provide you with a selection of styles that fit your needs, your home, and your budget.
Picture windows are large, fixed windows that don’t open, providing unobstructed views and ample natural light. They also pair well with operable windows for ventilation.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are a beautiful way to frame scenic vistas and let in a flood of natural light. These fixed insulated windows do not open, making them a great choice for homes that don’t need air flow.
They’re also highly energy efficient, thanks to modern advancements in glass technology. Options like Low-E coatings and double or triple glazing help minimize heat transfer and enhance insulation.
Since there are no moving parts, picture windows require minimal maintenance. And their durability ensures they’ll last for years to come. This makes them a smart investment for homeowners who are looking to upgrade their home’s aesthetic while enjoying lower utility bills and potentially qualifying for tax incentives.
Double-Hung Windows
Whether you’re building a new home or replacing windows that are past their prime, your local window installer will help you select the style best suited to your design preferences and functionality requirements. They’ll also recommend a range of energy-saving options to maximize performance.
The most popular choice among homeowners locally, double hung windows have movable sashes that open vertically. They’re perfect for both new construction and replacement projects, and are highly efficient when paired with argon gas and Low E glass.
These windows tilt inward for easy cleaning, and they come in a wide variety of grid patterns to complement every design style.
Bay & Bow Windows
If you’re looking for a window that brings elegance and style to your home, we have the bay and bow windows for you. Milgard’s Bay Windows offer versatility to complement any architectural style and are known for their performance.
Bow windows consist of four or more adjoining windows that curve to create an arched projection. Like bay windows, they add dimension to a room and flood the interior with natural light.
They also provide excellent ventilation by allowing you to open them as you would any other regular window. These replacement windows look great in living rooms or master suites with a window seat where you can read a book or relax.
Transom Windows
Transom windows appear above front doors for natural light and ventilation, a design feature that dates back centuries. They can also add style and visual interest to a home or building. They’re typically rectangular in shape but can be curved, arched, or custom designed to fit a particular space.
These windows can be decorative or operable, allowing for airflow even when the doors or windows are closed. They’re often made with clear glass, but tinted or frosted windows are also available.
If you’re considering installing a transom window above your door, consider the height of your ceiling to ensure it’s high enough. A professional can help you determine if your home is suitable for this type of window.
Casement Windows
In Macomb MI, it’s easy to enjoy gorgeous natural views – lush farmland, idyllic sunsets and serene freshwater shorelines. Casement windows offer unobstructed views while fully opening to let in a refreshing breeze.
They latch tightly into the frame, which reduces air leakage compared to other window styles. They also have two pockets of Argon gas to provide even more insulation during cold Michigan winters.
Single hung windows open from the bottom with a rotary crank handle, while double hung windows move both the top and bottom sashes. Both are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to meet your vision for your home or business.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge from the top and open by cranking outward, creating a gap at the bottom that allows air to circulate. They’re a smart choice for bathrooms, home libraries/dens, spice kitchens, and laundry rooms.
Designed for your unique vision, awning windows accentuate homes with classic beauty. They have fine furniture details and authentic look of divided light sashes, as well as a wide range of grille patterns and hardware finishes.
Unlike casement windows, awning windows have a much more compact frame, which makes them easy to open and close. This feature makes them ideal for elderly homeowners or anyone with mobility issues.
