How to Choose the Right Window Style for Your Home
Tuesday, 29 October 2019
The window style you choose can positively or negatively affect your property’s design. What’s more, it can determine your home’s energy efficiency, thermal performance, and exposure to natural light.
If you want to create a beautiful and functional home, you must research the different options available to select the correct design. To do so, read the below advice on how to choose the right window style for your home.
Traditional Homes
If you are renovating an older property or updating a period-style building, you must incorporate the appropriate window styles and materials to preserve both its charm and value.
In most cases, you will need to install timber effect double glazing, which can complement the age and style of an age-old property.
You also can install our Residence 9 PVC-u window systems, which have been designed to replicate authentic timber frames and are ideal for heritage properties across villages, towns, and cities. It can retain the feel and character of a period home and you will be happy to learn they will require minimal maintenance due to their composite material.
A Contemporary Home
If you have a more modern home or a new-build property, you should consider installing bigger, cleaner double glazing. While timber frames can soften a modern home’s exterior, aluminium windows can help you to achieve a minimalist design that will ensure your property has the wow factor.
The Different Designs Available
Regardless of whether you opt for UPVC, aluminium or timber effect replacement windows, there are a number of stunning designs to choose from that can transform the look and feel of your property.
Sash Windows
If you are renovating or attempting to replicate a Victorian or Georgian house, you would be smart to consider sash windows. They are also commonly incorporated into new-build housing that features a traditional style.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are a traditionally British option that has been used in properties for centuries.
At Bill Butters Windows, we provide three casement options to choose from:
