Understanding the Types of Replacement Windows for Your Home

 

When it comes to replacement windows, it’s important to understand the different types of windows available to you. At SRI Energy, we offer a wide range of options, all featuring Energy Star® insulated window technology to help you save on energy costs while enhancing your home’s beauty and comfort.


Types of Replacement Windows and Terminology

Window terminology can be confusing, but we’re here to help you make sense of it all. Below is a breakdown of the most common window types we offer and where they might work best in your home.


Single Hung Windows

Single hung windows are a popular choice for single-story homes. The bottom sash opens, while the top remains fixed. These are easy to clean and great for traditional home styles.


Double Hung Windows

Double hung windows offer more flexibility than single hung windows. Both the top and bottom sashes open and tilt inward, making them ideal for homes where easy cleaning and ventilation are priorities.


Picture Windows

These non-operational windows provide unobstructed views and maximum natural light. Picture windows are perfect for living rooms or anywhere you want to showcase a view.


Sliding Windows

Sliding windows open horizontally from left to right or right to left. They work well in rooms where you want to maximize airflow and are a great match with picture windows for added style and function.


Casement Windows

Casement windows crank open outward and offer a clean, high-end appearance. They’re perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or any room where you want wide, unobstructed views and excellent ventilation.


Awning Windows

Awning windows open outward from the bottom and are a good choice for privacy while still allowing airflow. They’re often used in combination with larger fixed windows.


Architectural and Specialty Shapes

We also offer custom window shapes, including bay and bow windows, garden windows, and more. These designs add unique character and curb appeal to your home.


Glass Options for Safety and Privacy

  • Safety Glass: Meets federal regulations and is designed to prevent injuries in case of accidental breakage. Ideal for bathrooms and low-to-floor windows.
  • Obscure Glass: Frosted or patterned glass options that offer privacy while still letting in natural light. Perfect for bathrooms, laundry rooms, or anywhere privacy is key.

Energy Efficiency and Durability

Our windows are built to last. Each product comes with warranties covering glass breakage, frame durability, and seal performance. With advanced features like Low-E coatings, argon gas fills, and vinyl frames, our Energy Star® certified windows deliver long-term value and lower energy bills.
