Replacement Windows is a general term for new windows, installed to replace old or less energy efficient windows. Often purchased upon the remodeling or acquisition of a home, Replacement windows come in a variety of materials, styles and sizes. Sometimes windows are replaced for decoration and design but most often they are replaced for energy saving reasons. Properly insulated windows keep the hot and cold air in the house that would generally escape through a window's glass, casings, fittings, and even moldings, drastically reducing air conditioner and heating utility bills.

Replacement Windows Styles

Choosing the style of replacement window often depends on the allotted window openings and their locations in the house. For a smaller opening, a slider or a casement window may be the most expedient option. For a large opening in the home's living room, dining area or den, a bow or bay window may serve as the room centerpiece and with a window seat can double as furnishings.

Future cleaning of the window is also taken into consideration. If the opening is on the ground floor and accessible from the outside, a permanent arch, block glass or other fixed frame window is no problem. If the opening is on the second floor, a window with moveable sides, such as a single-hung or double-hung, would be a better selection, enabling the homeowner to move the window back and forth effortlessly to clean both sides.
