Window Installation
You are in the middle of designing a new house when you realize that you haven’t decided on the type, size, and material of your future windows. The choice seems simple: just pick something in the store, and that’s it. However, as you've probably guessed, this task is much more challenging than it may look.
First of all, there are lots of types of residential windows, and to choose the most suitable one you should look up all of them. Secondly, even if you have your mind made up on the specific window type, you have to pick the color and material that will fit into both the interior and the exterior.
If you struggle with this choice, call FixerJoe. One of our many skilled installers will provide you with guidance through the process of your residential window installation. A professional will offer the best window type and material options based on your lifestyle and budget. With our help, you can find a local team that provides quality service at an affordable price.
Eight Common Types of Residential Window
- Awning Window
Awning windows open vertically and provide good ventilation.
They are usually installed in bedrooms and narrow places, above doors or other windows.
- Casement Window
Casement windows are easy to use, therefore they can be installed in places that are difficult to reach.
These can provide your home with fresh air, sunlight, and energy efficiency, as well as enhance its exterior.
- Picture Window
Picture windows' function is to provide a view of the outdoors. They usually do not open, have one pane of glass, and serve as the source of sunlight in rooms where you can relax.
Picture windows don’t provide ventilation. However, they are the most energy-efficient ones because of the permanent seals.
- Single-Hung Window
In a single-hung window, only the bottom sash can be opened.
If you have a smaller space, such as the bathroom or bedroom, consider having a single-hung window installed, as it can provide those with fresh air.
- Double-Hung Window
If you want an easy maintenance window installation, go for a double-hung window. These have two movable sashes that can provide better ventilation.
Double-hung windows are also the safest option for your children and pets, as the top window can be opened even if the bottom one is closed.
- Slider Window
Sliding windows are commonly used in basements and bedrooms for easy operation and better ventilation.
They are also relatively cheap, and the cleaning process is a piece of cake. On the other hand, sliding windows are less energy-efficient than single-hung and double-hung windows.
- Jalousie Window
Jalousie windows provide optimum airflow indoors, and this type is more affordable than others.
However, jalousie windows have some drawbacks, such as a lack of security and proper seals.
- Bay Window
Bay windows are curved windows. They create an additional area in your house, which can be used in many different ways – you can use this space for your hobbies and activities, leisure, and work.
A bay can also become a decorative element. Bay windows provide natural light and good ventilation, they create a refreshing ambiance. On the other hand, bay windows are expensive to install. They are usually placed in kitchens and family rooms.
Window Installation Process
A window installation process includes some necessary steps for your new window to work properly and look good in your house. It usually goes like this:
- A skilled window installer will check the rough opening by measuring it.
- The professional will protect your new window from water by adhering a waterproof membrane to the opening.
- The new window will be installed and levelled.
- The contractor will measure the frame diagonally and drive the nails at corners. Then, the nails will be driven through the rest of the holes.
- The window will be sealed with a waterproof membrane.
- The installer will fit the sash into the window frame and apply polyurethane foam to the gap between the window and the frame.
- The area will be cleaned up.
