Window installation and replacement is about more than just an aesthetic upgrade to your home or business. New windows can reduce energy bills, give your structure a better view, let in better lighting, and even add to resale value.
Because of the importance of windows to the integrity of a structure, it’s imperative to only trust your window installation to the experts. In the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, AmeriConstruction is the number one purveyor of contractors for construction
There are a wide variety of window types that can be installed, and there are benefits to all of them. Which you decide to use can depend on a variety of factors, so it’s always a good idea to discuss your options with a professional. Here is a list of available types, and how they can serve your home or business.
Sometimes your space requires custom shaped windows. Standard windows don’t fulfill the needs of the look or lighting you’re looking for.
In this case, a custom window can be crafted using specific measurements and shape requirements. The professionals at AmeriConstruction are experts at creating custom windows for any residential and
commercial construction project in the Dallas-Fort Worth TX area.
Single hung windows are the type that most people are familiar with in a home setting. These open vertically by moving the bottom window panel moving up or down while the upper sash stays stationary. They are very affordable and are a popular choice for many.
Double hung windows are similar, but both the upper and lower sash are moveable. Often they are designed to tilt out for easy cleaning and maintenance. They are a bit more expensive than a single hung window, but are the most popular replacement window option.
Casement windows are windows that swing either out to the side or up to open. They usually come in two panes that swing open like doors. These are a popular choice for more bright and airy modern homes, as they can offer a less obstructed view and allow for greater air circulation.
Sliding windows are often used for elongated wall spaces. Two sashes are typically made up of single windows that slide horizontally over the top of each other to open and close (picture a sliding glass door). They come in a variety of sizes, and are a popular choice in larger sizes so they can get expensive. But they are excellent for making a small room appear larger.
Bay and bow windows are similar in that they both protrude from the house structure. However, bay windows are typically angled outward in a set of three large panes that allow for a shelf or seat on the inside. These can get expensive, but add a lot of grace and value to a home.
Bow windows offer a bit of Victorian flair to a home, curving outward with multiple panes and creating a more panoramic view of the outdoors. Like bay windows, they should only ever be installed by a skilled installer of custom windows.
Because tilt and turn windows are more popular in Europe, not all American companies offer them. But they are gaining in popularity for their flexibility and attractive design. They look similar to casement windows, but can take on 3 different positions: closed (for unobstructed view), opened to the side like a door (for maximum airflow and accessibility), and opened tilted from the bottom (allowing for airflow with protection from rain and the elements).
Based on the needs of your structure there are several materials to choose from when it comes to windows.
Vinyl is one of the most popular choices for windows these days. Durable, low maintenance, cost- effective, and has the highest energy efficiency of all available materials. For those looking for an all- around solid window, vinyl is a great way to tick all the boxes.
Very popular for window replacements, fiberglass windows are almost as durable as vinyl and have greater curb appeal. They are easily maintained and are also energy efficient. The only drawback is the cost–they are more expensive than the other options. However, if cost is not a concern, fiberglass is a great way to go.
Traditional aluminum windows have become a bit less popular in residential areas in recent years, mainly because
they aren’t as energy efficient. However modern technology has advanced the older traditional aluminum winds that retrofit the base frame of aluminum windows with custom wood finishes which reinforces strength, increases insulation value, adds structural integrity leading to a lifetime of durable performance.
Aluminum Wood-Clad windows are considered to be among the highest quality, most durable and considered to be the top tier of custom premium windows. The extruded aluminum frame protects the wood window from harsh weather and damage from insects and decay.
