Windows play a larger role in energy efficiency than most homeowners realize. Heat gained or lost through traditional windows accounts for 25-30% of your home’s heating and cooling use.
Window installation is best done by professional installers who know how to fit your windows correctly, ensuring no air leakage and optimal energy efficiency. Look for a provider that offers ENERGY STAR qualified windows at an affordable price point.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows have dual operable sashes that move vertically, allowing for greater ventilation control. They are versatile and can complement various architectural styles. They are also easy to clean, making them a popular choice among homeowners.
Choosing the right window type and style for your home or business is important to prevent air leaks, condensation problems, or foggy windows. A qualified window installation expert can help you choose the best frame for your specific needs and budget.
Whether you need a replacement for old windows that no longer open properly, or are looking to upgrade your existing windows, double hung windows offer a timeless style and excellent energy efficiency. You can choose from many color, grid, and glass options to find the perfect fit for your home or commercial space. All Window World windows are ENERGY STAR® certified and come with our SolarZone TG Elite insulated glass package that reduces thermal transfer in warm weather and cold temperatures, ensuring lower energy bills.
Casement Windows
Like their name suggests, these windows pivot on hinges mounted on one side to open outward—operating similarly to a standard door. They provide unobstructed views, excellent ventilation, and a clean, contemporary look. They also integrate seamlessly into various architectural styles, making them a popular choice among homeowners and designers alike.
When closed, casement windows create a tight seal against air infiltration that minimizes energy loss and reduces the strain on heating and cooling systems. Additionally, they’re easy to open from the inside, making them ideal for obstructed spaces that are hard to reach.
Homeowners can choose from several window materials to suit their aesthetic preferences and maintenance considerations, including fiberglass, vinyl, and aluminum. Each material has distinct advantages, ranging from durable, low-maintenance frames that resist warping and fading to sleek, contemporary designs with slim profiles that boost thermal performance. Additionally, they can select color and finish options to match or contrast with their desired aesthetic.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows open horizontally on an easy-glide roller system, making them a popular choice for tight spaces where it is difficult or impossible to allow space for a window that swings outward. They are also available in a vertical configuration, which is ideal for narrow walls or rooms with low ceilings.
Corrosion-resistant rollers provide a lifetime of smooth operation. Interlocking meeting stiles and weather stripping create a strong seal to reduce air infiltration and rain penetration.
Available in Single or End Vent Slider configurations. End Vent sliders can be used to replace 3 traditional single hung picture windows and allow for ventilation to the sides of your home.
ENERGY STAR® compliant with optional insulating glass. Reduce your energy costs and prevent unwanted heat loss or gain while blocking harmful UV rays that can damage carpet, furniture, artwork and family photographs.
Plantation Shutters
Adding plantation shutters to your home can boost its value, especially if you plan to sell in the future. Many buyers look for this window covering, and they will be willing to pay extra for a house that has it already installed.
These window coverings act like extra insulation and can help you save on your energy bills. They keep cool air in during the summer and hot air out during the winter.
Other features that homeowners love about plantation shutters include their light control capabilities and privacy. They can open the louvers fully to let in natural light, or they can close them for privacy and warmth.
Unlike other window treatments, plantation shutters are fairly easy to maintain and clean. Regular dusting and occasional wipe-downs with a damp cloth will keep them looking new. They also offer a sleek look that can make any room feel bigger and more spacious.
