Have you decided to remodel your home? If your windows are single-pane, then you should likely replace them. In fact, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EnergyStar program, you could save between $101 to $583 a year by doing so. It's even better if you add an egress window, which allows you to climb out in the event of a fire. Here are different types of window options to consider.

Crank Windows

Do you want to add a touch of elegance to your place? There's something about crank windows that does just that. They can close very tightly, which is excellent for conserving energy bills. These are an excellent choice if you have an in-wall air conditioner, as crank windows aren't ideal for window AC units. Be careful about leaving these types of windows open in certain weather conditions!

Double or Single-Hung Windows

Double or single-hunt windows are a cost-effective option for many. They can come in many styles and colors. Modern window professionals will ensure your double or single-hung windows are installed properly so that the windows won't slip shut. These types of windows are a classic for a reason! Because this is a standard window choice, you'll likely be able to find options in the exact size that you need!

Picture Windows

These can make for a nice choice if you have great scenery outside. They create an image that looks like a giant framed painting if there are a lot of trees and other elements of nature right outside your home. Picture windows are an economical choice, require low maintenance, and bring lots of natural light into your house. That being said, there will be limited ventilation with this choice. For some, however, this is a small price to pay for the added beauty these windows bring!

There are other types of windows, like bay windows, awning windows, and sliding windows — which are great for basement egress windows. The choice you make will ultimately be a matter of personal taste. If you choose correctly, you'll vastly improve your home's curb appeal. You'll need qualified and experienced professionals for the installation of your egress windows, or any other window option you choose.
