Types of Replacement Windows

Windows that don’t seal properly let a lot of heat go out in winter, forcing homeowners to turn up the heating. They also let a lot of heat in during summer, making homeowners activate their air conditioning.

Window contractors offer energy-efficient windows to help homeowners lower their utility bills. They also install egress windows to protect homes from trespassers and burglars.

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows let in more airflow than single-hung windows and feature a tilt-in upper sash, making them easy to clean. They are also a great choice for multistory homes, and can be fitted with low-E glass to improve insulation and reduce energy bills.

A reputable window installation company will offer a variety of double-hung window styles to fit your home’s architectural style. They can also recommend ENERGY STAR-rated double-hung windows to cut down on your utility costs and increase the resale value of your home.

Pure Energy double-hung windows feature a patented fiberglass technology and argon gas between panes to ensure superior insulation and enhanced UV protection. They are nine times stronger than standard vinyl options and resist bowing and flexing.

Single-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows offer a classic design that aligns with traditional architectural style. Their simplicity makes them a cost-effective and straightforward choice for projects on tight budgets.

These windows are able to open both the top and bottom sashes, providing versatile airflow control. They also allow for easier cleaning of exterior surfaces.

They are available in a range of materials, each offering different price points. For example, vinyl offers exceptional energy efficiency – and with our ENERGY STAR certification in all four climate zones, it can help lower home utility bills year-round.

Sliding Windows

Many reputable contractors offer flexible payment options, which can help you manage the cost of your vinyl windows. Some also include window disposal in their service, which eliminates the hassle of arranging for removal and ensures that old windows are properly disposed of in compliance with regulations.

Sliding windows glide smoothly on tracks to open and close easily. Their sleek, minimalist design fits with a wide range of architectural styles and homeowner preferences. They’re also easy to maintain, requiring only occasional cleaning with a damp cloth or vacuum.

Casement Windows

Unlike double-hung windows, casement windows hinge open wide with a crank handle for maximum ventilation and unobstructed views. They also create an airtight seal to prevent energy loss and are harder to break into. This window type is best for larger openings and can be fitted with a variety of frame materials, including vinyl, aluminum, wood or clad wood. Like single-hung windows, casement windows require regular cleaning and lubrication of their hardware to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Selecting the right window style depends on design aesthetics, ventilation needs, maintenance commitment and budget. Consult with a window professional for valuable insights and guidance tailored to your project and vision.

Awning Windows

Awning windows are hinged at the top and swing outward with a crank handle, allowing natural ventilation. They are ideal for Oakland and Macomb County homes that need a little more air circulation than standard windows can provide.

They keep warm air in during the winter and cool air out in summer, reducing energy costs and eliminating drafts. They also reduce noise from busy streets and heavy rains.

Designed to complement a variety of architectural styles, these premium windows are available in a range of sizes, colors, and finishes. They come equipped with advanced insulated glass systems to ensure superior performance year-round.

Bay & Bow Windows

Improve your home’s interior and exterior with a new bay or bow window. These protruding windows let in plenty of natural light, transforming rooms and creating a focal point with scenic views.

Our bay windows come in many styles and designs, making them a great option for any room. They’re ideal for breakfast nooks or bedroom suites, and they can be customized to match your specific style. Our bow windows are made of four or more windows in a curved formation, offering a smoother look and feel. They’re great for decorative and whimsical home styles, such as Tudor and craftsman.

Garden Windows

Garden windows are perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or utility rooms. They add a cozy nook for flowers, herbs or decorative accents and can maximize natural light, ventilation, and energy efficiency.

They’re shaped like a large picture window, and expand outward from your home to give you panoramic views and fill your room with plenty of natural light. Functional side vents allow for good air flow, and they can be easily opened when it’s rainy or windy outside.

These windows are a wonderful choice for older homes that need to be revitalized with newer features and materials. They also fit well with traditional architectural styles.
