Are you in the middle of home renovations and in the process of choosing window styles for your home? Many people tend to forget that such a job is quite the challenging one. There are several styles of windows to choose from, and depending on the size of your home and what precisely you’re looking for in a window, it can be difficult to narrow down your selection. For example, do you want straight-forward, functional windows? The kind that offers sunlight and fresh air? Or, perhaps you want to go the decorative route and install bay or bow windows to your home.
Choosing the right windows will make an impactful difference in the outcome of your home. You want to ensure that you’re making the right decision because not only are you investing a lot of money in your house right now, but you’ll also have to live with your choices for a long time.
We’re Casa Bella Windows and Doors, and we manufacture and install windows in Toronto and Mississauga for all homes and styles. To alleviate some confusion about windows and to help you choose suitable models for your needs, we’ve created a window style guide with some of our offered styles. So, before you settle on installing casement or awning windows throughout the house, read on to discover what windows to get to update your home.
Energy Efficiency and Practicality: Casement Windows
If you’re looking to save money, exercise conscious environmentalism, and modernize your home, consider adding casement windows. Energy-efficient windows provide homeowners with incredible benefits, including:
- Lower HVAC Costs. Our windows are made with Low-E glass, which prevents harmful sun rays from entering your home. It also helps maintain a comfortable temperature inside the house, so you won’t have to crank up that thermostat as high, resulting in lower energy bill costs.
- More light. Energy-efficient windows operate without a tint to the glass, so you’ll get beautiful views all year round.
While all of our window styles are energy-efficient, our broad selection of casement windows offers superior energy efficiency for your home. They’re also extremely convenient to open and close. Casement windows hinge at the side and open outwards to the right or left. They’re also known as crank windows because they open with a handle that cranks the supporting arm of the window outward. They’ll open up any room to the beauty of the outdoors and add a classic look to your home’s interior and exterior.
Elegance and Increased Space: Bay or Bow Windows
We love installing our bay and bow windows in customer’s homes here at Casa Bella. These window styles can turn any room into a sunny, bright, beautiful place to relax. A bay window typically has three rectangular and flat opening panels, while a bow’s structure is curved and rounded in appearance on the home’s exterior. Bay windows usually have five or six window panels. Both window styles bring charming elegance to your house. They can also provide extra space. For example, you could create a cozy reading nook by your new bay or bow window or open up your dimly-lit dining room to the world outside.
Easy Ventilation and Optimal Light: Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge on the top and outwardly open from the bottom, allowing exceptional ventilation and protection from the rain. Many homeowners place them high on walls for privacy or in combination with larger windows for increased sunlight and a better view. A great thing about awning windows is that you can add one to nearly any room to capture more light — no matter the size. Our awning windows will let in natural sunlight, creating a lighter, brighter atmosphere to your home.
