What sort of windows can I choose for my home?

Despite being a major fixture of the home, few homeowners know where to turn to when it comes to choosing a new window scheme for their house. The great thing is that with so many window design options in the marketplace, homeowners can dramatically upgrade the liveability of their rooms and home with a simple change – stuffy rooms draw more natural circulation, views can be taken advantage of, and living zones can take on new forms of flexibility. We took a look at our most popular residential windows to create this handy factsheet on how you can choose the right window for your home.

Sliding windows

A classic favourite seen in many homes, sliding windows allow the most light and airflow of all our designs while being easy to operate and maintain. Flexible enough to suit most pre-existing window placements, this type is often paired with the discreet Invisi-Gard security screen or KidScreen.

Double hung windows

A modification to the sash window, a double hung window allows the lower and upper portions of the window to move. Heralding back to old European days, the double hung window has come a long way in modernisation with today’s designs offering clean, unobstructed views. Popular for living and sleeping areas, when open, the double hung works with natural air circulation to encourage cool air in through the bottom opening while letting hot air escape through the top opening.

Awning windows

Immensely popular for coastal homes, awning windows provide unobstructed views even when open. Allowing cool, fresh air in through the bottom, while keeping the elements out, awning windows can be made to fit most spaces and are well suited to pairings with security and child-safe screens.

Casement windows

Another favourite from the past century, casement windows are in high-demand in weatherboard and cottage-style homes where homeowners look to combine classic style with modern materials. With many casement windows made today to replace rotting, flaking ones, modern versions now largely offer unobstructed views. As casement windows hinge open from the side, this style is popular for garden-fronting areas of the home.

Louvered windows

A modern entry into the window market, louvered windows have dramatically changed the way homeowners use their living spaces. Similar to a louvered shutter, the windows can be opened to a horizontal position to allow the greatest ventilation, or shut to create a seal against the elements. Offering amazing flexibility, these windows are largely used in balconies and living rooms where residents can choose to create semi indoor-outdoor area.

Fixed windows

Extremely flexible for all sorts of living spaces and existing areas, fixed windows can be engineered to provide the most amount of light and unobstructed view without impacting your heating or cooling.

Whether you have a classic home needing a bit of a revamp, or are designing the home of your dreams; there are plenty of window schemes that can make your home more liveable year-round.
