The Best Styles of Energy Efficient Windows

Architectural Windows

Those who wish to give their home artistic flair will benefit from architectural style windows. These are windows that can be custom designed in the style of your choice – circles, ovals, arches, diamonds and much more. They will add the unique flair to any room of your home and are a great way to boost the curb appeal and resale value.

Awning Windows

Typically installed in bathrooms or kitchens, awning windows open outward and upward via a cranking mechanism. They are the ideal choice for those rooms that require a lot of airflow. Due to their design, they are great at keeping rain, snow, dirt, and debris from entering your home when opened.

Awning windows are high efficiency windows when it comes to energy efficiency. Their hardware is encased in a compressed seal, which is more efficient than the weather stripping that is typically used on most other window designs. Awning windows are stylish and most often installed in hard to reach areas such as above sinks, cabinets, or countertops.

Bay and Bow Windows

Like architectural windows, bow and bay windows are the premier choice for those who are going for the aesthetic appeal. Bay windows are perfect for window seats, which is a popular feature in many Canadian homes. As well, bow and bay windows are a good choice for those rooms with large window spaces as they provide a great view of your outdoor space.

Keep in mind that both bay and bow windows are fixed windows, meaning they do not open. However, many homeowners pair these window designs with casement or awning windows for those rooms that require ventilation as well as natural light.

Casement Windows

When it comes to energy efficient windows, you can’t go wrong with casement windows. They are similar to awning windows in that they open and close with a cranking mechanism. Like their awning counterparts, the window crank is surrounded by compressed seal for maximum energy efficiency.

Like awning windows, casement windows open outward but are hinged at the side. As such, they can also be designed to open inward, or both. They are superior when it comes to providing natural light and ventilation and are most commonly installed in dens, living rooms, and bedrooms.

Contour Series Windows

If you are in the market for windows that are both energy efficient and stylish, you might want to consider installing contour series windows. Designed with delicately sculpted lines to eliminate reflection of light, they are ideal for eliminating glare.

Double Hung Windows

As the most traditional style of windows, double hung windows are still a popular choice.

Double hung windows open with a sash at both the top and horizontally. They can be equipped with tilt sashes to make them easier to operate. Double hung windows are a great source of sunlight and airflow and can be installed in any room of your home.

End Vent Windows

For rooms that have a large window area, homeowners should opt for end vent windows for a sophisticated and contemporary window design. They are comprised of tilt and slide windows as well as a large middle unit. They provide ample natural light and are a great choice for energy efficient windows.

Hopper Windows

Hopper windows are similar to casement windows but are hinged at the top as opposed to the side. In addition, they are designed to open inward as opposed to outward. They are easy to clean and operate and allow for ample ventilation. However, hopper windows are typically made with weather stripping, so they are not as energy efficient as awning or casement windows. For an extra cost, they can be equipped with compression seal to make them more energy efficient windows.

Picture Windows

Those rooms with a large window space, such as bedrooms, living rooms, offices or dens, are ideal for picture windows. Picture windows are fixed, so they are not recommended for rooms that require ventilation. However, most homeowners often pair them with casement windows in those rooms where airflow is needed.

Picture windows are a great way to open up any room. They provide a breathtaking and unobstructed view. Thus, they are great for any room with a view of a backyard, garden or other outdoor areas. As well, they provide maximum sun exposure for those who prefer natural light.

Sliding Tilt Windows

Also known as gliding windows, sliding tilt windows are great for tight spaces. As they are manufactured to slide on a track and tilt inward, they are easy to clean. They are very stylish and energy efficient. Sliding windows are most often installed in bathrooms and kitchens, but are also ideal for living rooms and bedrooms.

Keep in mind that you do not have to install the same style of windows that you currently have in your home. It is possible to upgrade to more stylish and energy efficient windows. As well, the majority of the windows mentioned above can be custom designed to meet your needs.

Our Work

Double or Triple Pane Windows

Energy efficient windows can be upgraded with the addition of double or triple pane windows. These windows are filled with inert gas such as argon or krypton for added insulation. This will help prevent condensation and frost from forming on your windows.

As well, double and triple pane windows are ideal for maintaining a consistent year-round temperature in your home. They will keep the cold air at bay during the brutal winters we often experience in Canada. As well, they will keep heat and humidity from entering your home and driving up your cooling costs during the summer months. Consumers will see a noticeable decrease in their energy costs with energy star windows.

Special Features

Almost any window design can be custom designed to match the look of your home. From window grids to decorative glass options such as tinted or stained glass, energy efficient windows can improve your curb appeal, as well as increase the market value of your home. In addition, they can also be equipped with multi-point locks for added home security.
