Have you been looking into updating or installing new windows in your home, but don’t know what models or styles will go best? We know that there are so many different options to choose from, not just for their visual appeal, but functionality as well! To help you out with this we decided to compile a list breaking down the main benefits of each style of window available for you to choose from! (All available at Euro Choice Windows and Doors of course!).
Since there are 9 amazing styles that we wanted to share with you, we decided to break up this list into 2 information packed blogs! In this blog you’ll be able to learn about Awning, Casement, Picture/Fixed Casement and Turn and Tilt Windows!
Stay tuned for our next post to read all about Single Slider Tilt, Double Slider Tilt, Single Hung Tilt, Double Hung Tilt, and End Vent Slider windows!
Before we get into the list, it’s important to mention that not only are there many different options for types of windows, but you can also customize their shape or add grids to provide extra visual appeal. The use of creative window grids can make a standard window stand out and have its own unique look and feel.
These days many homeowners will choose from a variety of internal grids to accent their windows, as it tends to compliment the architectural style of many homes very well, while still adding a little something extra special. These internal grids are placed within the insulated glass unit of the window to add a unique style but eliminate the need for excess cleaning.
At Euro Choice Windows and Doors we provide a wide selection of patterns, finishes and colours for our clients to choose from in order to personalise their window choices to better suit their home and their vision. We also offer a variety of specialty shapes for our windows, these shapes can take an extra step further in creating an individualized feel for your home. You can give us a call to discuss these options further if you’d like at 1-855-233-9463.
Now that we’ve told you a bit about the different grid and shape options that you can add to any window you choose… it’s time to get into the specifics of each style of window and their top features and benefits, so that you can begin choosing the perfect window for your home!
