New and properly installed windows can elevate the look of your home and help save you money on your energy bills. The window experts at Blaze Restoration are here to guide you through the selection and installation process.
Window Styles
Windows come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles. If you are looking for inspiration, look no further than the architectural style of your home. Below are some of the most common pairings:
- Tudor style homes usually feature tall, narrow windows
- Colonial style homes typically feature small double-hung windows with grids
- Prairie style homes often feature clerestory windows
- Cape Cod style homes traditionally feature dormer windows
- Bungalow and craftsman style homes regularly feature double hung and casement windows
- Split-level and ranch style homes normally feature picture and large sliding glass windows
Keeping your window selection in the style of your home can elevate your curb appeal and may even increase its resale value. When possible, stick to a single manufacturer to ensure the materials used in the frames and grids match.
