Which Window is Right for Your House?
Windows are very important in a house or a building. Most of the old Philippine homes have big windows that let more than enough air and light into the room. Nowadays, you’d notice many different types of windows being used in homes in Philippines. The windows of a house should be dictated by the typical weather conditions in the area. A window could also significantly change the look of a house so the type of window should also depend on the look that you are trying to achieve. Below are the different types of windows (based on operating styles) commonly used in Philippine real estate properties.
- Slider. The sashes of these windows slide horizontally in a double-sliding window. There many different sub-types of slider windows like the single-sliding window and vertical slider or single hung window.
- Casement. These windows are hinged at the sides and project outward. They provide significantly better ventilation than sliding windows.
- Awning. These windows are hinged at the top and open outward. They also provide significantly better ventilation than sliding windows.
- Hopper. These windows are hinged at the bottom and open inward. They also provide significantly better ventilation than sliding windows.
- Single and Double Hung. With double hung windows, both sashes slide vertically whereas with single hung windows, only the bottom sash slides upward. They also provide significantly better ventilation than sliding windows.
- Tilt and Turn. These windows use special hinges that allow the sashes to tilt to the inside and turn to the inside. They close like a fridge door and they are the most energy efficient among the different window types.
- Jalousie. This window comprises of many slats of glass that open and closes like a Venetian blind using a crank.
- Skylight. This is a flat, sloped, or bubble window built into a roof structure for daylighting.
- Bay. This multi-panel window with three sections set at different angles to create an expanded area for shelving/sitting while allowing more light into the room. It can be rectangular, polygonal, or arc shaped (also known as a bow window).

Modern Windows Equal Energy Savings and Value
Windows can make a dramatic statement and can modify the face of your house noticeably. Windows help to define a room's focal point, establish the room's shape and provide air flow. They may be set or functional, which means you may have windows that simply act as adornment as well as permit sunlight to filter through their panes, or they may also open to allow ventilation. These windows can come in traditional shapes or unusual designs. Picking the perfect windows for your home involves a substantial amount of preplanning. Ask yourself what architectural styles you're trying to convey and whether or not you want to be able to slide up the window for air. Looking at magazines or checking out house tours will give you additional ideas. Going to your local hardware store will also show you possibilities.
There are many sorts of windows on the market and knowing them by name will give you a means to ask for what you want. Many use double-hung windows because they are traditional in appearance and provide you the capability to open either the lower or the upper sash. A casement window swings out and is hinged on one side. Slider windows, constructed from two separate sashes, open halfway. In addition, hopper windows and louvered windows are very similar; the hopper opens from the bottom while the louvered opens at the top. Round-top windows generate architectural accents to your home. They come in a selection of sizes and shapes such as full, half-quarter round, oval, elliptical and gothic. The bay window is a favorite when used next to sitting areas or breakfast rooms. These windows present wonderful views and give a room a pleasant character. Many use glass block windows in inside or exterior walls. They afford the homeowner with natural lighting and maximum privacy. An additional window type to think about is the Palladian, which consists of several windows and form a type of design. There are many windows to choose from and once you have constructed your design choice, it is time to pick out the type of pane and glass.
Many homeowners question if buying double-pane insulated widows merits the cost. The answer to this question is contingent on where the house is situated. Double-pane windows are very important when trying to save money on energy bills. However, if you live in an environment that has a mild climate, the savings can be minimal. Double-pane windows treated with a special coating known as low-e will reduce the quantity of heat in summer months. Be mindful when buying low emissivity windows, because in the southern states the coating must be applied to the outside of the inside pane of glass and in the northern states it must be on the inside surface of the outside glass. This is to retain heat during the winter and keep heat out during the summer. Using the proper windowpane will save you utility costs, protect your upholstery from fading and be easier to clean.
