Picking the Right Window Style for Texas

Single-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows feature a fixed upper sash and a movable lower sash. This classic design remains a go-to choice for many homeowners.

  • Pros: More affordable than double-hung varieties, straightforward to install, and ideal for traditional home designs.
  • Cons: Ventilation is somewhat limited compared to double-hung windows, since only the bottom sash moves.

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows come with two movable sashes, allowing both the top and bottom portions to open.

  • Pros: Enhanced ventilation (open the top sash for fresh air while keeping pets or children safe with the bottom sash closed), and easy cleaning from inside the home.
  • Cons: Priced slightly higher than single-hung options but worth it for improved airflow.

Casement Windows

Casement windows are hinged on one side and swing outward when opened using a crank mechanism.

  • Pros: They provide maximum ventilation and form a tight seal when closed, improving energy savings. Ideal for homes that need strong airflow.
  • Cons: Require exterior clearance to open fully and may be more vulnerable to high winds.

Awning Windows

Awning windows are hinged at the top, opening outward from the bottom. Think of them as mini casements.

  • Pros: Offer ventilation even during rainy weather since the glass shields the opening. Great for bathrooms or over kitchen sinks.
  • Cons: They need enough exterior space to open, so they might not be suitable for tight walkways.

Sliding Windows

Also called gliding or horizontal sliding windows, these move along a horizontal track.

  • Pros: Easy operation, contemporary style, and broad views of the outdoors. Perfect for modern designs that seek a wide expanse of glass.
  • Cons: Tracks can accumulate debris, needing occasional cleaning. Ventilation is limited to half the window area at a time.

Bay & Bow Windows

Bay windows typically feature three panels that project outward, while bow windows have four or more panels creating a subtle curve.

  • Pros: Extra interior space for seating or décor, dramatic exterior appearance, panoramic views.
  • Cons: More complex installation, often at a higher price point than single or double-hung options.

Picture & Fixed Windows

Picture windows are large, non-operable panels designed for unobstructed views and maximum natural light.

  • Pros: Outstanding energy efficiency (no moving parts or gaps), excellent for showcasing scenic vistas.
  • Cons: No ventilation since these windows don’t open. Might contribute to heat gain if not using Low-E glass.

Garden Windows

Garden windows create a box-like extension that juts out from your home’s exterior, often with a shelf for plants.

  • Pros: Ideal for growing herbs or flowers year-round, letting in natural light from multiple angles.
  • Cons: Without proper insulation, garden windows can become hotspots and raise indoor temps. They also require more exterior clearance.

We used Texas Window Store to put in 3 new windows during a home remodel. They communicated well, installed the windows professionally and quickly and we're thrilled with how everything turned out. The windows look great and is one of the things people comment on the most when seeing our remodeled house for the first time. Added bonus, they're energy efficient!

James' crew was on time, conscientious, and customer-focused. I wish our other contractors were as professiona! They highlighted any installation issues, gave us options, and executed right away. Many friends and neighbors complimented us on the results. We have 30% more light, 20% less exterior noise, and 20-30% lower electricity bills. Would definitely recommend!

Love my windows! I chose this company out of many because they were the most personable and only company that didn’t make me feel pressured. They were great with communicating throughout the whole process! My 1954 house got new windows and they are gorgeous!

Jesse and his team were fantastic. After getting several quotes for windows, we decided to work with Texas Window Store because they are 1) independent, 2) extremely knowledgeable, 3) fairly priced. Our home looks amazing and I’m very appreciative for the easy process and excellent communication.

I had gotten a few quotes for windows and Texas Window Store had a very competitive price for my project. Not only did I have replacement windows put in, I had a custom window put where there was no window, which is bit more complicated. All the windows turned out beautiful and the installation process was clean, efficient and professional. Thanks guys!

I recently had Texas Window Store replace a few old single pane windows at my house after my dog broke one of them. Jesse was quick to send me a quote and was able to have the windows in half the time of other companies I spoke with, and for a great price too! Once my windows arrived they were quick to schedule the install crew and had everything completed the same day. Our new windows look great!

Frequently Asked Questions

Popular window styles in Texas include single-hung, double-hung, casement, sliding, bay & bow, picture, awning, and custom windows. Each offers unique benefits in energy efficiency, ventilation, and aesthetics.

Which window style is the most energy-efficient?

Casement and picture windows are among the most energy-efficient because they form a tight seal when closed. Adding Low-E coatings and double/triple-pane glass further enhances insulation.

What’s the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows?

Single-hung windows have a fixed top sash with a movable bottom sash, while double-hung windows allow both sashes to move, providing better ventilation and easier cleaning.

Are sliding windows better than casement windows?

Sliding windows offer a sleek, modern look with easy horizontal operation, while casement windows provide superior ventilation and energy efficiency due to their tight seal.

Can bay or bow windows be customized to fit my home?

Yes! Bay and bow windows can be customized with various glass options, frame materials, and finishes to complement your home’s style while creating extra interior space.

Do picture windows provide ventilation?

No, picture windows are fixed and do not open. They are designed to maximize natural light and views while providing excellent insulation and energy efficiency.

Which window styles are best for small spaces?

Awning, sliding, and casement windows are great for compact areas like bathrooms or kitchens, as they provide ventilation without taking up extra space.
