Choosing the right replacement windows in Seattle, WA for your home can be overwhelming. There are so many options to consider. Here are seven of the most popular styles for replacement windows in Seattle, WA:
Picture Window
These are a basic staple in almost any home. Picture windows do not open and close, but that doesn’t make them useful. They are simply glass inside a frame creating a picture of the view outside and letting in plenty of natural light. They can be small, medium, large, or expansive. They come in different shapes and materials. You can pair them with operable windows or leave them standing on their own.
Awning Window
These went out of style for a little while, but are coming back with a vengeance. These windows hinge at the top and push outward to open. They provide great ventilation in all types of weather because you can even open these windows if it is raining. The pane of glass creates a small roof over the opening keeping the elements out. The biggest thing is you have to consider the outdoor space to make sure there are no obstructions.

Casement Window
These windows hinge at the side and also open outward. They give you great control over ventilation because you can open them a small amount, or open them all the way.

Horizontal Sliding Window
These are another staple window used in almost every home. Horizontal sliding windows have a simpler assembly. One pane slides back and forth on a track across a fixed pane. They require very little in the way of maintenance and do not require any additional space to open. Also, these windows are wider than some other styles, making them great for light and ventilation.
Single or Double Hung Window
