One of the things you’ll need to be mindful of during the replacement window buying process is what styles you want. A lot of this decision will be based on what will fit your home’s décor. It might be to your advantage to get the opinion of experts at a replacement window shop so that you can select a window style or window styles that fitf your home perfectly. Here’s a look at the window styles you’ll come across as you look for replacement windows in Riverside, CA.
Sash Windows
Sash windows are a good fit with homes that have a Victorian, Georgian, or Edwardian vibe. One of the distinct characteristics of sash windows is that they usually have two sashes that, rather than opening and closing on a hinge, are opened and closed by sliding the sashes either up and down or left to right in vertical tracks. The sort of sash windows you can buy today also have a tilt feature that makes it easy to clean them.
Bay Windows
Most windows pretty much lay flat across the wall, but not so with bay windows. They are designed to project outward. This means that they can make a room feel larger — which is why bay windows are great for smaller rooms. Bay windows have three to five panels. As for bay window styles, you can get box bay windows designed to look like a box, bow windows that have more windows than a bay window, and circle bay windows that are especially rounded in appearance.
Casement Windows
A casement window is affixed to a frame with one or several hinges. One of the great things about casement windows is that they’re versatile. A casement window with the hinge attached to the top will help to keep rain from getting inside, and a casement window with the hinge attached to the bottom is a good choice for basements.
Single Hung Windows
A single hung window is a window where the bottom panel is moved vertically. The upper sash, however, remains stationary. They will allow for airflow and ventilation, albeit not to the same degree as double hung windows. They are very cost effective as far as windows are concerned since they have fewer moving parts than, say, double hung windows.
