The Best Window Styles for a Bedroom
One of the most common misnomers about home window replacement is that the window style being removed must be replaced with the same style. Full frame window replacement affords homeowners with the opportunity to determine which window style makes the most sense for their space. If you’re in need of new bedroom windows, we invite you to explore the four most popular styles.
Double Hung: Double hung windows are a versatile style that work well in all areas of your home. However, they prove particularly advantageous in the bedroom. That’s because they allow the occupant to customize the temperature and level of air circulation within your bedroom. This is due to the fact that double hung windows have the ability to open from top to bottom, which foregoes concerns of stuffiness or humidity. Double hung windows work well with a variety of architectural styles. In traditional homes, colonial style grilles can be added to the windows. They can work well in compact bedrooms. In children’s bedrooms, double hung windows are beneficial because most have staggered ventilation hatches that provide an obstacle to prevent a child from accidentally falling out the window. From a cleaning standpoint, double hung windows work well in second story bedrooms because they can be tilted inwards.
Casement: Casement windows have the ability to be hung solo or in pairs. They utilize cranks that open them outward and are lauded for their ability to increase air circulation within a room, as much or as little as the occupant prefers. Casement windows are also energy efficient due to their snug seal between the window frame and sash. This in turn, keeps your bedroom cooler in the summer months and warmer in the winter months.

Awning: Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outwards at the bottom. This configuration allows them to be open during rain showers without the worry of water trickling in. This can create a pleasant and soothing sleeping atmosphere. Awning windows are operated though the use of a crank that creates an airtight seal. A perk of awning windows is that they are installed higher up on the wall than many other window varieties. This expands ventilation within a bedroom.
Geometric Windows: Your bedroom should be the ultimate expression of your personal style. Inoperable geometric windows come in array of shapes including half-round, oval, circle, triangle, hexagon, and quarter circle. They can be used in tandem with maneuverable windows to add more natural light and architectural interest to the space.
