Windows play a significant role in the overall appearance of your home. They allow light and air to enter the living space, and can also help cut down on electricity costs.
Installing new, energy-efficient replacement windows can help reduce your energy bills significantly. Energy Star-qualified models have a lower U-factor and higher visible transmittance, and can save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs per year.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows work on a track system that allows the window to slide horizontally (two-lite sliding windows) or vertically (three-lite sliding windows). They are popular in homes that connect with the outdoors and provide unobstructed views. They also offer superior ventilation and are easy to use and maintain.
They feature large glass panes that maximize natural light and provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. They are also energy efficient and add value to your home.
They come in various styles, designs and materials. Some have classic details that complement historic and more conventional home styles while others feature clean lines that work well in modern homes. They can also be customized to match the unique features and architectural details of your home. These windows do require regular maintenance, however. They can become sticky or jammy if the tracks aren’t regularly cleaned and lubricated. They can also develop a seal failure over time, making them less airtight.
Bay and Bow Windows
Enhance your home’s beauty and functionality with a bay or bow window. These projection windows open up space inside your home, allowing for more natural light and panoramic views of your neighborhood. They can also be paired with a cozy reading nook or window seat for additional seating area.
JELD-WEN and Marvin offer a variety of custom bay and bow windows to suit your home style. Choose from wood, fiberglass and vinyl for a window solution that fits your lifestyle and budget. They’re available in different sash sizes and feature energy-efficient design to minimize heat loss during the winter and excessive airflow during summer.
A bay window has three angled operable windows while a bow window has four or more windows that form a curved shape. They’re available in different sash styles including cathedral, trapezoid and mullions to accommodate modern or traditional home decor. They’re also energy-efficient, reducing utility bills with features like Low-E glass and argon gas filling.
Casement Windows
In Cayce South Carolina homeowners usually opt for window glass replacement services because of their ability to improve a home’s energy efficiency. They can also be used to control outside noise and they offer a great way to make your home more comfortable during different seasons.
Hinged on the side and opening like a door, casement windows open wider than any other type of window using a hand-crank mechanism. They also provide ample ventilation, helping to cool your abode during our hot Columbia area summers and keep your living spaces comfortable throughout the winter months.
These windows form a tighter seal than traditional windows, significantly improving their energy efficiency. You can even select models that qualify for a federal tax credit, further defraying their cost. Look for windows with low U-factors and high VT ratings to lower your energy bills and enjoy year-round comfort. You can also select windows with cladding materials that inhibit condensation and humidity build-up, helping to prevent mold growth.
Awning Windows
Set on a hinge, like an awning, these windows allow for fresh air while protecting against rain. They are commonly used above sinks, in kitchens, or anywhere a window needs to be installed high on a wall for privacy or accessibility reasons. Awning windows are operated with a hand crank and offer a more minimal look than casements.
Reputable brands offer a wide range of designs, sizes and materials for both awning and hopper windows. Choose from aluminum, vinyl, fiberglass, wood and combinations of these materials. Some of the best brands also provide options for specialized glass and interior grids to customize your windows.
