Vinyl windows are popular because they’re energy-efficient, durable, and easy to maintain. Once you’ve decided to install vinyl windows in your house, you’ll have to select the right types of windows and consider optional features that might be suitable for your climate.
Choose the Right Window Styles
Vinyl windows come in many forms. Double-hung, picture, bay, bow, awning, and casement windows are just a handful of the styles that are available. You’ll probably want to install two or more different types of windows in your home.
Think about the amount of light you want to let in and whether you want to be able to open the windows. In an area like the living room, you might want to install a large picture window that will let people enjoy the view, or you might prefer a bay or bow window that consists of several windows. In the kitchen, you might prefer sliding, awning, or casement windows that you can adjust for just the right amount of ventilation. In the bedrooms, you’ll probably want to install double-hung windows that are easy to open, close, and clean.
Select Energy-Efficient Features
The climate in your region will heavily influence your choices. In an area with frigid winters, you’ll want vinyl windows that can block out cold air. Windows with two or three panes of glass can keep your house comfortable in the winter and save you money on your utility bills. Vinyl windows with low-E coatings and an insulating layer of argon gas between the glass panes can provide additional savings.
