Why Picture/Combination Windows Are Popular Replacement Windows

Just as its name implies, picture/combination windows are the combination of a picture window and one or more other window styles. All the windows are contained within one frame, which gives you the best features of each type of window style.  If you’re in the market for replacement windows and are considering picture /combination windows, here are some of their benefits, besides a few considerations.

Advantages of Picture/Combination Windows

• A larger area of glass allows for more light to flood into a room.
• Easy maintenance is a plus as the glass in these windows remains clean, and there’s virtually no water spotting. 
• They save money on energy costs, cutting your energy bills.
• Because these windows aren’t bulky and have a sleek structure, they can easily be installed from the ceiling to the floor, which can highlight the beauty of glass in a home.
• The window openings are large, besides versatile.

Options

Being able to choose from several options, regarding styles and colors, is another benefit. These options include those such as:

• Grille styles—This window style lets you switch from a bay window to a picture window combination, as well as from a picture window combination to a bay window.
• You can stain the wood.
• These windows come in a choice of two kinds of glass, both of which are energy-efficient. 

Considerations and Warnings

Most picture windows are found in livings and bedrooms because these are the rooms that are typically larger with an open wall space. Therefore, homeowners get the greatest benefit when having their picture/combination windows in rooms offering a large viewing area.

There are several types of configurations that are available, such as single hung/picture/single hung; double hung/picture/double hung; 3-lite slider; picture window-over-the-slider; and operable arch.
