Bay windows add a timeless aesthetic to any home, as well as maximize natural lighting and make any room more open and airy.
Energy-efficient replacement windows are an effective way to cut your energy costs and save money on bills. Look for Energy Star-qualified windows with low U-factor and visible transmittance (VT).
ENERGY STAR certified window frames contain argon gas to help insulate against heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Single-Hung
Bay windows create an eye-catching feature in any home’s exterior and offer depth and perspective not possible with flat window designs. They can either complement an existing picture window, or act as an independent projecting unit.
Single-hung windows feature one operable lower sash that slides open and shut, while double-hung windows offer two operable sashes that move up and down as needed. Double-hung windows are often found in homes that lean toward traditional, colonial, or Victorian aesthetics.
Both types of windows are constructed to be energy efficient. Wood, vinyl and fiberglass frames serve as natural insulators to slow the transference of heat and cold, reduce air infiltration and provide protection from harmful UV rays. Champion’s windows, doors, sunrooms and siding meet or surpass Energy Star manufacturing specifications and requirements to help save you money on energy bills while shielding furniture, carpeting and flooring from UV-related fading caused by UV exposure.
Double-Hung
If you want the look of bay or bow windows but require greater ventilation, consider double-hung windows instead. They utilize two moveable sashes that open vertically for additional air circulation and uninterrupted views.
These windows are an ideal solution for areas with limited space or where hinged door installations would be inconvenient, such as offices. In addition, they protect interior walls by keeping moisture, dust and debris out.
Bow windows project outward from your home to add an eye-catching 3D effect, much like bay windows do. However, bow windows differ by consisting of three to six window units united into a semicircle that features more subtle angles for a more rounded appearance. Most often the middle window remains static while opposing side casement windows ventilate casements are usually ventilated casements – both styles provide ample natural lighting while adding warmth and spaciousness to any space they illuminate.
Aluminum
A bay window adds space and natural light into a room while creating the feeling of spaciousness. Consisting of three windows – an center fixed picture window flanked by double-hung or casement windows which open/close for ventilation– it projects outward from its main body creating a wide ledge suitable for display of window treatments of various kinds.
Energy efficient windows rely on various factors, including insulation, frame material and glass options. Low-E (low emissivity) coatings reflect infrared radiation while still allowing visible light into your home, helping reduce utility bills by keeping cool air inside while warm air stays outside.
