5 <strong>Types</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>Window</strong>s</strong> <strong>You</strong><br />

<strong>Can</strong> <strong>Consider</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Window</strong><br />

<strong>Replacement</strong>


Whether you are getting new<br />

windows installed in your home or<br />

replacing the old ones, you have<br />

multiple options. <strong><strong>Window</strong>s</strong> come in<br />

a range <strong>of</strong> choices, and it can be<br />

pretty overwhelming to pick out<br />

the right one.<br />

To help you out, we have prepared<br />

a quick guide to popular window<br />

options with their features and<br />

benefits.


Awning window<br />

Awning windows are designed to maximize light and air in the home. They are<br />

installed where you need privacy as well as light + air. They can be installed next<br />

to other windows, in columns or above patio and terrace doors. They can also<br />

pose security risks due to the gap present when the window is open.


Tilt and turn window<br />

Tilt and turn window allow to turn them, open<br />

completely or in tilt position to open only partially<br />

from the top <strong>for</strong> ventilation. In tilt position, it allows<br />

air to enter to and from but prevents the people<br />

from entering outside. It is also provided with a<br />

multi-point locking mechanism to keep the frame<br />

from twisting or bending. It is a straight and<br />

functional option and in case <strong>of</strong> any default, call a<br />

tilt and turn window repair in Winnipeg.


Double hung windows<br />

Double hung windows are an energy efficient alternative. As they can be opened only halfway, they<br />

restrict the airflow more than any other kind <strong>of</strong> window. Double hung windows are perfect <strong>for</strong> exterior<br />

areas as they do not consume any outer space. One <strong>of</strong> the other advantages <strong>of</strong> double-hung windows is<br />

that they are easy to clean.<br />

Picture window<br />

A picture window is meant to enjoy the scenery outside. They are large windows with visible frames that<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer an unobstructed view. They get that name because they turn the view outside the home into a<br />

picture. However, as they don’t open they can’t be used <strong>for</strong> airflow or emergency escape. They simply<br />

allow you to admire nature and add more light to the interior.


Egress windows<br />

They are designed <strong>for</strong> the safety purpose.<br />

They <strong>of</strong>fer an escape routine in case <strong>of</strong> an<br />

emergency, like fire, earthquake, when<br />

you can’t escape from the front door.<br />

Egress windows are usually installed in<br />

the basement <strong>of</strong> your home, and every<br />

home should have at least one <strong>of</strong> them in<br />

each living space. In some states, there is<br />

a special requirement <strong>of</strong> egress windows<br />

to comply with the local fire codes.


Hope these options<br />

will help you choose<br />

the best one as per<br />

your need.
