Many homeowners are replacing their old windows as new versions offer many benefits. First, they improve the home’s curb appeal. Second, they protect you against harsh weather conditions. Third, they improve the value of the property. The list of benefits goes on and varies for each homeowner.
Today, there is a range of styles available for replacement windows. Two styles Andersen windows CT residents love are bay and bow windows.
Let us look into the characteristics of these two styles:
Bay: This window extends out from the building’s outer wall and gives extra space to a room. Typically, they are composed of three or more panes, with the biggest pane in the middle.
Bow: This style features a curve shape and is usually composed of more than three panes. Just like bay windows, bow windows extend beyond the outer wall and give your home’s façade an attractive appearance.
Both bow and bay windows may be used as replacements in many large window openings. You may also choose from other styles such as casement, double-hung, awning, and picture windows. You may even create a combination of new bow or bay for your replacement. These two styles can also be transformed into a cozy nook that you can use as a reading area or resting space.
To make your windows more appealing, you may install grilles in different patterns. A colonial grille, for example, lets you choose the number of squares you want to have per sash. Farmhouse pattern, on the other hand, has two vertical bars meeting a thicker horizontal bar at the window’s center. You may also choose a modified prairie pattern, with one horizontal bar per sash and one vertical bar on each side.
You can transform your home into a haven of comfort with these styles for your replacement windows in Connecticut.
