Popular Types of Windows Used in Home Remodeling

There are many different types of windows available, from double-hung and Palladian to fanlight to name just a few. Most designs are based on a few common styles. When choosing windows for your home remodeling project, there are several other factors to consider (which we'll examine in later posts) like double or triple pane glass, low-e, and other factors.

Double Hung Windows

This is probably the most common type of window used on residential architecture. Double hung windows offer the most flexibility when it comes to opening or closing them. There are two moving parts, or sashes that slide up and down a rail to open or close the window.

Fanlight Windows

A fanlight window is a semi-circular window that is traditionally found over an exterior doorway. First made popular in Georgian England, the fanlight was designed to let light into dark entry hallways.

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows are extremely practical and highly functional. They open by sliding along a track and come as both single hung and double hung models. They are perfect for modern homes because they tend to feature simple lines and large plain panes of glass.

Casement Windows

Usually rectangular in shape, casements come in a number of different framing options making it possible to find the right look in all but the most contemporary or modern style homes.

Is It Time to Replace Your Roof?

A roof replacement will benefit you in the long run, protecting your home for years to come and increasing its value.

A new roof is a major home investment, one that protects your home from the elements and often accounts for about 40% of your home's "curb appeal." It's important to time your roof replacement wisely and understand the options for your new roof.

If your roof is nearing the end of its useful life, you should start thinking about replacement as soon as possible. You can estimate when your roof will need to be replaced based on the average lifespan of the material used in your roof and when it was originally installed. Keep in mind, however, that bad weather and unexpected damage can significantly shorten a roof's lifespan, especially if problem areas aren't repaired in time.

Types of windows according to the type of opening

There are many aspects that determine the best opening for the windows of a home. Interior space, exterior space, light needs, the need to allow passage between spaces.

Each house, each project, each need is unique and that is why each particular case must be studied.

1) Fixed windows

Fixed windows are those that only consist of a glass frame. That is, they do not allow their opening, only the passage of light and energy, to a greater or lesser extent.

2) Pivot windows

A pivot window, or also revolving window or tilting window, is a system that allows the sash to rotate on an axis -normally horizontal- in the center of the frame.

3) Sliding or sliding windows

This is not entirely accurate, since, although in the past sliding windows were practically the only type of sliding window that existed, today we have several systems that allow a window to open by sliding one of its leaves.

Hinged, folding or practicable windows

A casement window is one that allows the opening of one or two sheets that rotate on the side frames, to which they are joined by hinges. We could say that it is the most traditional window.

5) Swing, tilt or projecting windows

A swing window is very similar to a casement window, with the difference that the sashes do not rotate on the side frames, but rather on the lower frame (tilt window, which opens from above) or on the upper frame (awning window, which opens from above). open bottom).

Mini-guide to changing windows

Windows let light into the house, but they also play a fundamental role in the thermal and acoustic insulation of the interior. It may be time to change them, whether they are in poor condition or so old that they are not aesthetically pleasing. Read this mini-guide (with prices at the end) in which we explain the most important issues to consider.

Windows are composed of glass and profiles. There are several types of profiles: aluminum with thermal break and with a variety of finishes. Their advantage is that they are very resistant and durable. PVC, a very insulating material. And solid wood, although these usually have a dose of aluminum or PVC. The price depends on the type of opening, not only on the profiles.

When changing the windows you must take into account the combination of profile and glass, as this is the key to good insulation. And the glass occupies 80% of the window, so choosing the right one is essential. The most commonly used: low-emissivity double glazing (with up to three times more thermal insulation); acoustic (minimizing noise); intelligent (can control the passage of heat and light); or security.
