What Are the Best Window Types for Different Home Styles?

If your home needs new windows, homeowners would do well to get reliable window contractors to replace their windows for them. Choosing the right type of window for the home, however, depends on some factors, including home styles.

American Farmhouse

The American Farmhouse is a modern interpretation of the Victorian style. The windows in these homes are often double-hung windows that are taller than they are wide and come in earth tones, whites and pastels.

Craftsman Bungalow

Double-hung windows with stained interiors and casement windows are commonly used for these homes. Home window replacement experts say that these windows are usually vertically proportioned and have grilles on the upper part.

Industrial Modern

This style makes use of materials found in factories, such as concrete, corrugated metal and exposed wood. It uses casement and awning windows arranged to reflect interior function.

International Modern

This home style was built on the belief that function is more important than style. These homes often have multiple casement or picture windows arranged to make one large rectangular window.

Miesian Modern

This home style uses floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize the areas where glass is uninterrupted and, in essence, looks invisible.

Prairie

Several casement windows arranged to form long horizontal bands characterize Prairie-style homes. Casement windows are often used here because they offer wide, uninterrupted glass panes.

Tudor

Various window types are used for Tudor-style homes. Casement and transom windows are common here. Bay windows are also typically found here, whether in the first or second story.

"When we purchased the windows at the end of February we had been informed the lead time would be middle of August for installation. I was okay with this as they had been straight forward about the time frame. As the process moved forward I was kept informed via email at the various stages. I had received an email at the email of May stating the windows have finished being built and we can schedule installation. I was thrilled to have them be installed by the end of June. The installers showed up on time had been very courteous while performing the installation. They had scheduled 4 days for the installation and had completed it within 3 days. There was an issue with our front door as it was on back order and they brought out the wrong door by mistake, however they installed a temporary door until our door arrived and then came back out and installed the new door. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing replacement doors and or windows."

"A phenomenal removal and replacement of our front door. The installers were very detail oriented and very meticulous. This was the second time we've had doors replace with Renewal by Andersen of SW Missouri and both time our expectations were exceeded."

"The replacement windows are great quality and look great! The windows we are slowly replacing are original to the house, and are Andersen windows that are 40± years old! Our installers are the best! They went above and beyond what was expected of them. I highly recommend!! A+"
