The best type of window replacement in San Jose

What options do you have?

When it comes to window replacements the San Jose Glass Company can help you to make all the right choices. There are many different designs, all with different features. Here are a few of them.

Design choices for window replacement for San Jose homes

Below we’ve listed the most common San Jose replacement windows:

Double-hung windows

Double-hung or sash windows are very popular and most common in older homes. These are the types of windows where the bottom slides upwards and the top downwards to open. These windows are not always the most energy-efficient as air can escape through the sliders. A tilt-in feature allows for easy cleaning.

 


 Single-hung windows

 

Single-hung windows look similar to double-hung windows but only the bottom opens by sliding up. Because of this, they are slightly cheaper than double-hung windows.

Sliding windows

In this style of window, both left and right windows slide toward each other to open. This style is best where windows are wider than they are tall. These slim and modern windows also tilt for cleaning.

Casement windows

Casement windows, also known as cranked windows, are hinged on the side so they can open outward. They are usually more airtight than double hung windows as the latch closes the window firmly.

Awning windows

Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward with a handle. Like casement windows, they are fairly airtight.

Bow and bay windows

Bow and bay windows are very similar in style. Bay windows consist of three windows and bay four or five. The curved appearance ensures that these windows create a focal point in your home and invite the sunlight in from several directions.

In conclusion

Your choice of window replacement should enhance your home. The San Jose Glass Company can help you to make the right design selection to fit your home and your lifestyle.
