Window Design Trends: The core window opening styles

What is a Picture Window
The picture window trend is a non-opening full panel of glass. This style of window offers an uninterrupted view due to no framing across the surface of the window. See the various grid options for style exceptions.

Single/Double-Hung Window Designs
Single-hung and double-hung windows are difficult to tell apart by just looking at them. The bottom sash slides up on both types.

Both upper and lower sashes operate on double-hung windows.

Slider Window Designs
Slider windows open horizontally. Either side can be configured to open and, optionally, both sashes can slide.

Sliders will only have a vertical separating bar where the locks are located. Pair with a picture window for large opening.

What Other Window Styling Options Are Available?

The popular styling options available for most types of windows are:

  • Grid Patterns: Grids are the bars exposed on (exterior) or in between (inside the sealed double pane glass. Traditionally we call them divided light or simulated divided light. They have names like Colonial, Heritage, Diamond, and Prairie grids.
  • Window Combinations: On large opening, two or more different styles of windows can be combined. With homes that feature a large front or rear facing window, commonly a wide picture window in the center mulled (joined) to two sliding windows on either side is popular. A round topped window can be mulled with a single-hung window is another type of combined style.
  • Window Frame Colors: Frames are available in an array of color choices: White, tan, bronze, black and silver are popular. How the color is applied is also very important. Vinyl, composite, aluminum, and fiberglass frames can be colored before the frames are extruded. Other custom colors are typically powder coated and heat treated.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What windows are in style now?
A: Casement windows are very popular due to their amount of uninterrupted glass area. Similar to a picture window but, hinged on the side, they offer more natural light and a seamless view than hung windows.

Q: How do I choose a window design?
A: Consulting our window experts can help you navigate the many styles available and what styles best fit the design of your house. There may also be limitations imposed by either an HOA or an historical district.

Q: What is the most popular window?
A: Single and double hung windows are the most popular windows in new home construction. Double hung can be the easiest to clean due to tilting sashes.

Q: What is the cheapest window to buy?
A: The least expensive windows to buy are stock sized, vinyl or aluminum windows from the big box stores. Usually with minimum energy efficiency ratings. However, these are the most expensive and time consuming to install. Since they are stock (average) sizes, some framing and filling work and, often, copious caulking has to be applied to get a good seal. We do not use stock sizes at Houston Window Experts. Precisely measured and custom ordered to fit the window opening is all we do.
