One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make when replacing or installing windows is which style(s) you’d like to have. It’s easy to stay consistent and ask for single-hung windows or whatever you’re used to having, but there are so many other options out there that can increase curb appeal, functionality, and even air flow! Luckily, here in Parker, Colorado and the Front Range, you have a helpful guide in Window and Door Source. We offer and install all popular window styles and want to empower you to make the best choices for your project.
Because we source our replacement windows from Pella® and several other industry-leading manufacturers, Window and Door Source is able to offer a wide variety of products to our customers. Here’s a brief overview of the window styles you’ll be able to choose from:
These are probably the first window types that come to mind for most people. While they look almost identical, the difference is in their operation. Single-hung windows have one moveable bottom sash, while both of the sashes in a double-hung window can be moved up and down.
These two smaller window styles are also extremely similar at a glance and are defined by the ways they operate, though both are controlled by turning an easy-to-use hand crank. Casement windows swing open outward like hinged doors do, while awning windows move upward to create overhead protection from rain and snow.
While both of these window styles protrude from a home’s exterior and create an alcove space indoors, bay windows tend to have exactly three panels. Bow windows can have four or more panels, and are usually larger as a whole.
This window style can run large, making them great for kitchens and bigger wall spaces, and they slide open and closed much like some patio doors.
If you’d like a large, unobstructed view of the world outside, this is the window style for you. Picture windows have no moveable parts, which doesn’t make them as versatile as other styles, but that also means they tend to be more energy efficient than other types of windows.
With their eye-catching three-dimensional profile and built-in shelving, garden windows are perfect for displaying herbs and small houseplants while making sure they get all the sunlight they need—which is why they’re often found in kitchens.
If you have an unusual window shape, we’ll be able to fill it. Anything that’s not a standard square or rectangle—such as an octagon, half-moon, oval, circle, or triangle—falls under this category.
