The Best Home Window Styles to Feel the Spring Breeze

As we turn the corner to spring weather, window installation might be on your mind. The truth is that new vinyl windows improve your home any time of year, but spring installation brings special benefits to homeowners.

Why is spring a great time of year to replace your home windows? Once the weather is warm enough to keep the windows open, they can help improve indoor air quality as well as airflow. Here is how home windows can create better indoor air circulation in the spring:

Casement Windows Encourage Airflow

If you want to feel the fresh breeze in your space, consider casement windows.

Casement windows are similar in shape to a double hung window, as they’re typically rectangular and wider than they are tall. They’re also perfect for cranking open to catch a spring breeze.

Some homeowners confuse casement windows with double hung windows as they look similar. Casement windows function much differently than double-hung windows. While double hung windows open by lifting the bottom sash or lowering the top sash, the casement window opens with a crank handle. This is the only window that opens with a crank handle, making it a unique and even luxurious addition to the home.

Just like a double hung window, casement windows are also aesthetically versatile. Casement windows look elegant with grid system in numerous patterns, including diamond. Decorative glass enhances its appearance while increasing privacy. Best of all, they crank open quite wide to let the spring breeze inside!

Casement windows look best on homes such as craftsman, Victorian, and ranch.

Slider Windows Bring Enhanced Ventilation

A slider window is a contemporary-style window that opens on a horizontal track. The sash moves along the track to open wider than any other window on the market, with the closest comparison to ventilation being a casement window. These windows also lift out for easy cleaning, and they are typically available in two or three lite sliding combinations.

Now that you know what a sliding window looks like, let’s talk about how it ventilates your home.

If you love a fresh breeze, there is simply no better choice than a sliding window. This window is exceptionally easy to open and perfect for bringing in the fresh scents of summer. Not to mention, opening your windows during nice weather can help you cut down on air conditioning bills, enjoy the sunlight, and keep air flowing through your home.
