Replacement Window Industry Trends

When you decide it’s time to get replacement windows in Plano, TX, there are a lot of decisions to make. Most homeowners have never had to get new windows before and they don’t know what’s classic, what’s popular, and what’s on trend. That means you might want to do some research or talk to the professionals so you can get things for your home that will fit into the times and not be outdated before they even get installed. Here are some of the popular trends that are also classics and won’t go out of style any time soon.

Bay And Bow Windows In The Right Location

No one is going to have a home filled with bay and bow windows, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t put those windows into just the right location. You might like one in your bedroom so you can create a reading nook. They are also nice in the kitchen so you can set up a breakfast corner. They work well in living rooms as well where you can add space to the room. There are lots of good options and you will have to search your home for the right location options.

Energy Efficiency Is Always Key

One of the reasons you are likely getting new windows in the first place is because your old windows were no longer efficient. Energy efficiency is popular, and also something that will never go out of style. You won’t hear anyone say, gosh, we don’t want your home, it’s just too efficient, right? Of course not! Efficiency is going to make your home a more comfortable place to live and it will also help you to lower your energy bills, which is always a nice benefit as well.

Eye-Catching Options

While most of your windows are going to likely be casement or double hung, you might want a few windows that are more like showstoppers. You could put a curved window above a bank of windows to catch the light and bring it into the space. You could put some octagonal windows in that dark hallway to brighten things up. Bay and bow windows or large picture windows can also fit the bill.

Floor-To-Ceiling Windows

The more light you can get into the home, the better. Light makes rooms look bigger and more open. They don’t have to bring in heat, either, if that is a concern because you can put low-E coatings on them and that can stop the heat of the sun while allowing the light to stream through. You can feel like you have an indoor/outdoor living space without even opening the windows.
