There are many styles of homes in Central Pennsylvania. From Victorians, to ranches, to Colonials to Cape Cods. The style really does make a difference when installing new windows. And no matter what the style, our changing weather patterns here in PA are another key factor when making your window choice.
The most popular style window (and the ones with which you are probably most familiar) are double hung windows. Characterized by two vertically sliding sashes within a vinyl frame, double hung windows offer energy efficiency, easy maintenance and versatile ventilation options.
United Window & Door’s 9600 series is a great choice if you are looking for this style window. The benefit of vinyl, but the look of wood, multiple color options, interlocking sash/sill, and integrated insulation are just a few highlights.
You can also go with a single hung window, showcasing a vertically sliding sash within a vinyl frame, providing a classic aesthetic with the convenience of easy maintenance and cost-effective durability.
Casement and Awning windows work well in kitchens and bathrooms. These are top-notch for energy efficiency and since the awning helps keep out any water, you can keep your windows open and enjoy fresh air even on rainy days.
United Window & Door’s 6000 series is available for both new construction and replacement applications. A style that adds a prominent distinction, this window opens up to a full ninety degrees, comes with simple yet contemporary hardware, comes in various color and grid varieties, and allows for maximum ventilation in any room.
Bay windows add beauty and help let in natural light in spaces such as your living or dining room. These large, multi-frame windows are an investment piece and improve the look of your home from the outside and might even aid in resale value.
Why are vinyl windows a good choice for PA homes?
Energy efficiency is the number one reason. Cut your heating and cooling costs so your savings add up year round and know that no matter if it’s freezing or sweltering outside, your windows can handle it.
Vinyl windows also help keep out the noise and are extremely durable. They resist rot, warp, rust and fading and they are overall low maintenance. You won’t be out there painting or staining them, since they maintain their look all on their own.
