Find And Buy The Best Replacement Windows In Atlanta.

What are the most common types of home replacement windows?



Double hung windows are far and away the most common type of home replacement windows. In some areas of the country they represent up to 85% of the windows in the home. Both sashes raise and lower for ventilation purposes and most double hungs allow for a person to exit the home in the event of a fire, etc. Most of today's double hung replacement windows have sashes that tilt-in for easy cleaning from the inside of the home.

Casement windows are another replacement window option for the home. They offer an alternative to the double hung window in that the sash cranks out for ventilation, but typically offer more overall glass viewing area than a double hung. Most casement windows open a full 90 degrees for easy cleaning of each side. Today's casement replacement windows have updated hardware and locking mechanisms that make this type of home replacement window an aesthetically pleasing and secure option.

Picture windows offer far and away the most glass viewing area of any home replacement window. They are the window choice in the home when there is an opportunity for a panoramic view. Because of the fixed sash, the picture window can be manufactured in the largest sizes, and is the most airtight of all home replacement windows.

Another common type of home replacement window is the sliding window, also called a slider. These offer great views with lots of glass area. They are available in two and three sash (lites) designs. With two sashes, both sashes move similar to laying a double hung on its side. In the three lite design, typically the middle sash is fixed, and the end sashes move. Most sliders lift out for easy cleaning, but some replacement window manufacturers offer a tilt-in option as well.
