When it comes to choosing your Davis, CA replacement windows, perhaps the most challenging aspect is deciding on the right window style. You have so many options from which to choose. Do you know all the style options available? Here is a little breakdown of each window design and some of the pros and cons of each:

Single Hung
In a single hung window, only the bottom sash moves up and down, the upper pane is fixed. These are some of the most popular window styles on the market, and for good reason. They can match any type of personal style, from traditional to modern. They are easy to operate and easy to maintain. Keep in mind, only half the window opens. So this not only cuts down on ventilation, but the frame will also cut up your view.

Double Hung
Just like single hung windows, these open vertically. However, both sashes are operable instead of just one. Most modern options also tilt inward for easy cleaning and maintenance. These are excellent space saving windows. Because they do not project outward when open you can use them anywhere in your house. Best of all, they provide outstanding ventilation when you open both the top and bottom sashes.

Sliding
Another staple for homeowners and builders alike, these traditional windows are much like single and double hung but open from side to side. These are usually the most affordable option for replacement windows in Davis, CA.

Casement
These windows mount on one side and pivot outward when open. You can easily operate the window with one hand, using a crank. If you live in a windy area, these are a great option. Windows will seal tighter as the wind blows against it.

Awning
This is a window that hinges at the top and opens outward. This is great for rainy days because you can open the window for ventilation, but keep moisture out. Many homeowners in Davis, CA choose to install these windows higher up on the wall. That way, when they are open, they do not obstruct any outside walkways.

Bay/Bow
Looking to make your room bigger? These windows do more than just add the illusion of more space. They also project outside of your home, adding actual square footage. They make a dramatic statement in any room, but most homeowners choose to use them in breakfast nooks, living rooms, or bedrooms.

Picture
These windows are completely inoperable but don’t discount them yet. If you are looking for a larger window to let in the maximum amount of light, then these are the windows for you. You can choose from several shapes and sizes. Best of all, you can pair these windows with other styles to add ventilation if that is a necessary feature. Flank a picture window with casements or double hung windows and you get the best of both worlds.
