Choosing the right window style can make an important difference in your home’s aesthetic and energy efficiency. But with so many options on the market, it can be difficult to determine which styles will work best for your Dallas home.
Whether you want to add timeless elegance with double-hung windows, create a modern look with casement windows, or maximize natural light with replacement awning windows, there is a perfect window for every home.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged one side and open using a crank handle, offering unobstructed views and full ventilation. They are popular among homeowners seeking classic beauty combined with modern functionality.
NT Window’s Casement replacement windows can be configured to open outward or inward. Outswing windows are better for areas where the window might protrude into walkways or hit exterior objects like planters.
NT Window Garden windows remove grid lines and allow Dallas homeowners to enjoy natural light and their outdoor spaces. They are also an excellent energy saving window option in Texas.
Double-Hung Windows
Featuring double tilting window sashes for easy cleaning and the ability to ventilate from the top or bottom simultaneously these windows are a great home improvement choice. They are available in a wide variety of options to fit any aesthetic.
The new Alside Mezzo Double Hung is a good example of the high-quality, durable and energy efficient replacement windows Dallas homes can count on. It has one of the best frame thicknesses in a mid range cost retrofit product, keeping U values low and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient high.
Single-Hung Windows
Window styles play a big role in your home’s functionality, style, and energy efficiency. The type of windows you choose can significantly impact the way your home looks, how comfortable it is to live in, and how much it’s worth.
Single-hung windows have an operable bottom sash, but the upper sash remains fixed. This allows air to circulate more effectively, cooling your home in Texas summers. They also feature fewer moving parts and require less maintenance.
Awning Windows
Like casement windows, awning windows hinge open from the top and swing outward with a crank mechanism. They’re great for hard-to-reach spaces in your home and offer a unique airflow pattern that captures breezes from different directions.
Awning windows are ideal for bathrooms and basements where ventilation is needed. They’re also easy to open even in light rain and provide shelter from moisture.
Awning windows are available in a range of material options, including vinyl, aluminum, and wood. These windows are available with features like Low-E glass and argon gas fills to help Dallas homeowners lower energy costs.
Bay & Bow Windows
Adding visual interest to your home and increasing its resale value, bay windows create an inlet that lets in more light and expands floor space. This window style is also highly energy efficient, allowing you to cut down on utility costs.
Bow windows are a variation on the bay window, creating a curved wall of windows that offer panoramic views and more natural light than a standard flat window. Your design preferences and the architectural style of your home will influence which type of window is best for you.
Sliding Windows
Also called gliding windows, sliding windows offer unobstructed views and let in lots of natural light. They are easy to open and ideal for areas where space is limited or you don’t have much dexterity or strength.
Double-hung sliders come in a variety of frame materials including vinyl, aluminum and fiberglass. Energy-efficient options include Low E coating and argon gas between the glass panes, which help control airflow in winter and summer.
Picture Windows
Large, fixed windows that do not open, picture windows maximize natural light and provide unobstructed views of the outdoors. They are a great choice for brightening high walls that accompany vaulted ceilings and can be combined with other window styles like double-hung, casement, gliding, or specialty windows.
Unlike double-hung windows, which allow both the top and bottom sashes to open, awning windows are hinged at the top and open upward. This allows them to catch breezes and offers exceptional ventilation, particularly in hot Dallas summers.
Custom Windows
When you need custom windows for a unique space in your home, it’s essential to work with window replacement companies that are highly trained in measuring and installing these specialty windows. Even the slightest mistake can lead to drafts and a reduced lifespan for your new windows.
They can also help you find tax credits and rebates specific to your area. This can add up to a significant savings over the life of your new windows.
Specialty Windows
Stylish, energy-efficient windows are a great way to improve the look and functionality of your home. Window Nation offers over 1,500 replacement window styles, ensuring that our customers get the perfect fit for their Dallas-Fort Worth homes.
Narrow frame windows offer a less bulky look that some homeowners prefer. They also have a lower U value, so they are better at reducing heat transfer.
Sidelites and transoms are located above entry doors to illuminate the entrance area. They also provide a unique architectural flair to the home.
