Window replacement is a smart investment that can reduce your energy bills and provide improved comfort and security. Professional home window installation companies offer various window styles to complement your Florida home and meet your specific needs.
Choose an experienced provider with a broad product variety and strong warranty coverage to maximize your investment. Also look for options that include the latest energy efficiency features to reduce your utility bills.
Casement windows
Unlike double-hung windows that have two sashes that slide up and down to open, casement windows hinge on the side and swing outward using a user-friendly crank handle. They also seal tightly, ensuring your home is energy-efficient and protected from the elements.
Like doors, they offer a wide view and easy operation for those hard-to-reach spots, such as over sinks. This window style also offers optimal ventilation to help you feel that fresh Florida breeze.
This type of impact window can be installed alone or in combination with other window styles, such as bay or bow windows. You can also opt for a French casement that features two window panes without a center post, giving you a larger unobstructed view. Impact casement windows can be locked with a single or double lever handle, providing enhanced security for your family. And since they swing out completely, they provide the most spacious opening for egress in case of a fire.
Bay and bow windows
The elegance of bay and bow windows provides a stunning architectural statement for your home. Unlike other window styles, they allow you to take advantage of the outdoors and let in natural light. They create a small pocket of interior space that can transform your living room into a cozy seating area, garden-facing bedroom, or other special spot.
Bow and bay windows combine a fixed picture or casement window with two angled operable windows. They can be framed with a roof or without one, depending on your preferences and the architecture of your home. Morgan Exteriors can even add a window seat beneath your bow or bay window to transform the area into a functional room addition.
Bay windows have more angular lines than bow windows and are a great option for transitional or contemporary home styles. On the other hand, bow windows have a more rounded look and are a popular choice for traditional homes.
Hopper windows
Hopper windows have a hinge on the bottom or the top and open inward. They provide ventilation and are also energy efficient. They aren’t easy to climb through and deter thieves from entering your home. They’re perfect for basements and bathrooms because they can easily ventilate small spaces and still have a sleek design.
These unique windows can be used in almost any room. They’re especially useful in basements, laundry rooms, tubs and showers, and walk-in closets to bring natural light into these dark spaces. They’re also good for controlling humidity, which helps reduce the risk of mold and mildew in these damp spaces. Hopper windows are easier to install than double-hung windows and are more cost-efficient because they have fewer moving parts. However, it’s important to hire a professional installer who takes accurate measurements before installing these windows so that they can fit perfectly. This ensures that they can be opened and closed easily without any leaks or cracks.
Sliding windows
If you like the idea of maximizing airflow in your home without sacrificing space, look no further than sliding windows. They slide open horizontally, so they’re perfect for tight spaces where outward swinging windows can’t be installed.
They also seal tightly when closed, preventing energy loss and noise pollution. Whether you choose vinyl or wood frames, they offer superior durability and resistance to the Florida climate.
You can even get double or single slider windows that move the sashes from either side to let in the breeze. This leaves you with more options to control airflow and light in your home. Double-slider windows are popular because they’re easy to open from left to right, a natural movement for many people. They’re also cost-effective and come in a variety of sizes.
