Your windows allow the sun to filter into your home throughout the year, but have you noticed air leaks lately? Do you stand in front of your windows during the winter looking out at the dreary weather and feel a rush of cold air coming into your home? Is your air conditioner running more frequently than it used to and do you feel warm air seeping in around your windows? If this is the case, it may be time for some new windows.
You can choose to have the same types of windows installed or you can switch things up a little bit and install a new style, type, or shape. The only thing that we caution you about is that you should choose a window that will match the style of your house along with your needs. There is nothing worse than installing a static bay window or picture window in your living room only to find that you miss opening the window and letting the breeze flow through.
Double-hung windows are the most popular choice, because they can open from both the top and the bottom. These types of windows also fit snugly in their frame, therefore they do not stick out from the frame inside or outside the house. We recommend that you choose these windows if you like the capability of opening your windows from both the top and bottom, because other options will not give you the same flexibility.
A casement window is a hinged window that you would need to crank open. These windows allow the air to flow in from the side, which gives you a larger space for air movement. An awning window does not crank out, but these windows open outward and allows air to flow in from both the right and left sides as well as the bottom.
Slider windows are used most often in modern or contemporary homes, but some people do not like them because only one side slides over and opens. Depending on how the wind is blowing, you may not get enough of a breeze or you may end up with too much.
New windows will keep the temperature inside your home more consistent and you will find that your energy bills decrease. As an added bonus, you will increase the value of your home as well as your curb appeal. Call us at 301-948-0100 to discuss replacement window installation in the Gaithersburg area.
