Let Your New Jersey Window Contractor Help You Choose The Perfect Windows For Your Remodeling Project

Remodeling your home is all about turning the house you have into the home you want. But, let’s face it; choosing windows is a difficult part of the process. It often involves a considerable investment and it can change the aesthetic look of your home considerably. Triton Gutters & Siding, a highly qualified New Jersey window contractor provides these tips to help you choose the perfect windows for your remodeling project.

• What is the architecture of your home? – You want your windows to enhance and complement the architectural style of your home.

  • Traditional Home – If you have an older home, you need to give special consideration to the windows you choose so that the end result complements the historic nature of your home. Double hung windows consist of a lower pane and an upper pan and when you want to open the window, you slide the lower pane upward. This type of window is perfect for the traditional home.

  • Contemporary/Modern Home – Casement windows open from a hinge, either at the top or one side of the window, by means of a crank that you turn. They are considered highly energy efficient, because the sash is designed to fit tightly against the weather seal when closed; they let very little air through. Casement windows perfectly complement the simplicity of a modern/contemporary design, while providing maximum ventilation.

  • Victorian – A bay window is ideal for Victorian architecture and increases the sense of openness in any room. A bay window is composed of three or more individual units. The center unit is parallel to the exterior wall with side or flanking units aligned at 30 or 40 degree angles.

  • Any Style – An awning window is appropriate for many architectural styles, and it looks intriguing when grouped with other window types. It is hinged at the top and opens from the bottom in an outward swing.

• Are there any items that your windows should match, such as cabinetry or molding? Your New Jersey window contractor can make specific recommendations such as staining the interior of your wood windows to match your molding and millwork for a unified look to your home.

No matter what room of the house you are remodeling, your New Jersey window contractor will advise you to take into consideration where to place the windows in your home. The contractor should recognize that south facing windows let in heat without an undue amount of UV rays and can therefore help warm your home during the cool winter months. North facing windows provide very little warmth and can actually be an impediment to keeping your home warm. So, if you are planning a major remodel, it would make sense to place huge floor to ceiling windows on the south side of the house if it is possible.
