Unlike traditional window frames, today’s custom windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind. This allows them to retain heat during colder temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
JELD-WEN and Andersen are well-known brands that offer a blend of style and energy efficiency. Their products feature Low-E glass and argon gas filling to help homeowners conserve energy.
Double Hung
Designed with both the top and bottom sashes able to open, double hung windows allow for better airflow in your home. They also feature full fusion-welded frames and sashes for durability.
These windows are a popular choice for Cayce SC homes because they allow for ventilation and easy cleaning of both the inside and outside of the window. They are also a great option for upper-story and two-story homes.
Awning
Add a classic look to any room in your home with awning windows. These windows open from the top and bottom to improve ventilation. They also come in many styles to suit any design.
Awning windows are energy efficient and can help you save $393 per year on your energy bills. They also help protect your furniture from sun damage.
Bay
Bay windows project outward from a home and typically include three window panels. The center panel is usually a fixed picture window with two operable windows flanking it.
These windows add visual depth and beautiful views of your backyard while improving airflow and adding more space to your home. They also increase your home’s market value.
Bow
Bow windows expand your home’s horizon and allow for expansive outdoor views. They are custom created by combining four or more windows from any of our product lines.
They minimize heat transfer, resulting in lower energy bills throughout the year. They also provide conditioned ventilation. They are available in a variety of colors, allowing homeowners to choose the best look for their home.
Transom
Transom windows are designed to fit above a door or window and are typically fixed in place, though there are operable versions. These windows can let in natural light and enhance a home’s architectural style.
These windows can be installed in a wide variety of shapes. To find a style that complements your home, consider researching the home’s architecture for ideas.
Vertical Sliding
Vertical sliding windows resemble traditional hung windows but are a more modern option. They’re easy to install and offer a variety of customization options.
They can be opened from both the top and bottom, allowing for improved ventilation. They also provide excellent security and comply with fire safety regulations.
They’re made with durable materials such as uPVC, and offer a sleek design that complements any home. They’re also energy-efficient and require little maintenance.
Casement
Using a mechanical crank, casement windows open outward like a door, allowing airflow and light to enter your home unrestricted. This design makes them a great choice for smaller window spaces.
However, they require unobstructed exterior space to operate smoothly. Their outside surfaces are also exposed to rambunctious pets, so interior window screens are essential. They can also be a bit harder to clean than sliding or double-hung windows.
Double Pane
Adding double-pane windows to your home offers an energy-efficient alternative to single-pane windows. They have two glass panes separated by a space that manufacturers fill with insulating gases such as Argon or Krypton.
These gases minimize heat transfer and reduce energy costs by keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. They also help prevent condensation and noise pollution.
Triple Pane
Triple pane windows are the most energy efficient on the market. They help reduce energy bills and are great in cold climates.
Cort and her colleagues interviewed 29 builders that used triple-pane windows in their new homes to understand the barriers to wider adoption of these technologies. Builders typically want windows that are cost-effective and deliver on performance claims. PNNL is working to make these windows available.
Wood
Cayce custom windows offer a unique opportunity to reflect your personal style. They can also help increase your home’s energy efficiency. They are designed to fit your window opening, so air leakages will be a thing of the past.
Double hung windows are popular among homeowners and feature two side-hinged sashes that open from the top or bottom. Many have Argon gas filled between the sashes to improve insulation for colder climates.
