A picture window from the past can be a source of beauty or cause endless trouble. Old windows may have problems with leaks, energy efficiency issues, and aesthetic difficulties, which make them less appealing to gaze at and even more damaging to the value of your home. Suppose you’re not satisfied with your window’s appearance or functions. In that case, consider replacing it with one of Windows Hamilton to help you solve the issues! What can you expect when replacing your window with a picture window?
1: Better Energy Efficiency in New Picture Windows
Window technology has evolved dramatically over the last few decades. For instance, single-pane windows were popular a few years ago, even though they offered little insulation against extreme temperatures outside. Based on the age of the window you have may be the cause of severe energy leaks inside your home.
Single-pane windows are said to be more energy-efficient than modern windows with insulation. There are various ways modern dual-pane windows can provide security that single-pane windows cannot. Modern picture windows come with the following features to help in reducing energy consumption:
- Dual Pane Features: Dual pane windows feature two rather than one panes of glass, and there is space between the panes of glass to act as insulation against the high temperatures outside.
- Energy-Efficient Glass: Modern windows are constructed of glass, reflecting heat away, and preventing energy transfer from the exterior to the inside.
- Energy-Efficient Building Materials: Windows Hamilton frames get built using energy-efficient fiber composite material with outstanding insulation. The windows are constructed from resin and wood, ensuring their structure for years to come. They are also resistant to degradation as time passes.
Even if you own insulated double pane windows, the seal technology used to secure the windows is less sophisticated than the ones utilized by Windows Hamilton in the present. You might experience problems with seal failures that can seriously reduce the energy efficiency the insulated window panel uses.
2: The New Window Grille Patterns
Your previous picture window features a grille design, but it may not. Whatever the case, you’ll be able to add or choose the new grille design when you set up the new windows. A few ideas:
- Colonial Window Grille Pattern: This pattern is a crisscrossing grid that creates visually appealing while staying true to the classic design.
- Prairie Window Grille Pattern: The prairie grille style creates a vast, uninterrupted area in its middle with grilles on the edges, parallel to the windows’ edge framing.
- Modified Prairie Window Grille Pattern: As with the prairie style modification, the prairie window grille pattern has an unbroken space in the middle. It also has grilles on the edges parallel to the window’s edge. They are not visible at the point where two sashes.
- Farmhouse Window Grill Pattern: The grilles are only visible on the top half of a sash. The lower half is open to allow uninterrupted views.
3: New Window Styles
Imagine installing a bay or bow window in the space where your window is. It may surprise you. You don’t need to replace your existing picture window with a different window! With a bow or bay window, you might have a place to sit by the window to sit and read or relax.
