Signs of wear and tear are starting to show on your home’s windows; maybe you’ve noticed a draft, or maybe there’s visible damage. It’s finally time for window replacement in your home, but how much is it going to cost you?
With an endless combination of window styles, sizes, materials, glass treatments, installation methods, and more, you may see a pretty wide cost range for a potential window project. If you’re looking to get an idea of how much new windows would cost, the first step is understanding your options.
Window Types
Windows are the perfect way to bring life into your home, whether it’s letting sunshine through, framing an amazing view, or opening your home up to nature around it. When replacing or adding windows, it’s important to find the perfect fit that complements your home’s architecture and your functional needs.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows offer a similar appeal as traditionally-styled windows, but with advanced technology and weather-stripping systems that allow you to better control the ventilation in your home.
Because of their simpler design that features minimal hardware, sliding windows tend to be a window style that incurs fewer costs and a straightforward installation, making them a more affordable option.
Picture Windows
Do you have a perfect view that needs showcasing, or need more natural light in your space? Picture windows may be a great option!
A single fixed pane, these windows provide a perfectly framed view of the outdoors, but cannot be opened, allowing you to bask in the sunlight or take in a gorgeous view, without the concern of drafts during colder months.
Picture windows will typically have a similar cost as sliding windows because of their traditional nature and similar installation.
Awning Windows
Hinged to open outward, awning windows are a highly functional option for those who want to welcome fresh air in the warmer months, but perfectly seal it out in colder months. Thanks to three continuous seals of weather stripping, Hometown Restyling’s awning windows have one of the industry’s lowest air filtration rates.
Awning windows are a great option for above your kitchen sink, allowing you to open the window with a crank rather than reaching over the counter and stretching upward like you may have to for a double-hung window.
Double-Hung Windows
This window style offers more ventilation options with operable sashes on both the top and bottom. For those with children or pets, these are an especially great option, allowing greater security while keeping the top sash open.
Double-hung windows are a classic option that tends to complement a wide range of home architectural styles. Their design versatility, paired with airflow control, easy operation, and mid-range cost, makes them a great fit for most homes
Casement Windows
Designed with a hinge on the side to open to a full 90 degrees to the left or right, casement windows not only have great visual appeal but also unmatched security and air infiltration due to their single-lever multi-point locking systems and continuous seals of weather stripping.
Bay & Bow Windows
These two window styles add a beautiful focal point to your home’s architecture. Typically made of a group of double-hung windows, these styles differ due to their shape.
Bay windows more commonly have a boxy look featuring 3 glass panels, with the center being larger. Hometown Restyling’s bay window choices provide a large center picture window with a choice of double-hung or casement windows on the ends. Fully customizable, you also have a design choice of 30- or 45-degree angles to create your perfect seating area.
Bow windows, however, are designed with four or more equally-sized glass panels, giving your room dimension while keeping a symmetrical style. This window style typically has a slight curve, you can think of it like the curve of a bow and arrow!
As one of the more complex window styles, bay and bow windows will incur a steeper cost. With their angled and curved designs, these windows require more complex installation methods, often needing custom framing or modifications, especially if it’s a new installation.
Additional window options and factors that affect pricing
Your preferred window style isn’t the only thing influencing the price of your new view. Here are more factors that will contribute to the total cost of your window project:
- Window Size: This one may be an obvious factor—smaller windows will typically cost less than larger ones. Unique window sizes that require custom windows can also be expected to be the most costly.
- Shapes: Many window styles also have additional options beyond the typical rectangular shapes. Hometown Restyling also offers window shapes that include:
- Pentagon
- Octagon
- Triangle
- Arch Top
- Trapezoid
- Circle
- Eyebrow
- Quarter-round
- Glass Type and Treatment: Not all glass for windows is made equal. Hometown Restyling offers both two- and three-pane windows, as well as other options, both functional for optimal energy efficiency and stylish to fit your home’s design. Additional options include:
- Low-E options, which feature a thin, transparent coating (even thinner than a single human hair!) that reflects interior heat.
- Argon gas options, which fill the space between double or triple-paned windows with argon gas, increase thermal insulation efficiency.
- Decorative patterns with a variety of selections to increase privacy.
- And More! Hometown Restyling is a Sunrise Series vinyl window dealer, allowing us to offer a variety of shapes, performance, and colors. Discover all of the options the Sunrise Series has to offer HERE.
- Structural Repairs: If you see some visible wear and tear on your windows, the surrounding structure may require some repair, as well. Add visual inspections as a part of your home maintenance routine to catch any slight abnormalities before they become a pricey issue.
