Windows are an integral component in all homes and offices. As the technology used in the fenestration industry has improved, so has the variety of window types. With the sheer number of windows on offer from window installers in the area, you may be a bit overwhelmed by the choices available.
Not only do windows protect from fluctuating weather conditions, i.e., the hot, muggy Colleyville summers, and the cold, windy winters, but they also have an aesthetic appeal. One such window that does more than protect your interior from the cold, rain, dirt, and dust is the slimline window, which our installers regularly install and maintain.
Why are slimline windows so popular?
There are several reasons why slimline windows are regularly requested. Getting professional window installers to fit slimline windows can do wonders for your home’s or business’ energy-efficiency, energy bill costs, and property value. They blend well with most exterior décor, and their low-profile design avoids the bulky, out-of-place look that can sometimes be seen with other windows.
In terms of their profile, slimline windows are very similar in thickness to traditional, single-glazed timber-framed windows, but they offer greater energy efficiency. Standard windows tend to have a much larger profile and thicker frames, which, while they provide a higher perceived level of durability, they can be considered less attractive. Slimline windows can also be fitted with premium locking mechanisms, so you’re not compromising on security. Plus, when you purchase a slimline window from a reputable company that builds and installs its own windows, you’re getting window installers that know the quickest, most effective, and secure installation method, alongside the rest of the benefits.
When it comes to slimline models offered by our window installers, you can choose between the following popular window variants to suit your individual design preferences:
Single-hung windows
Single-hung windows, as the name suggests, offer ventilation through a single lower sash. Slimline single-hung windows remain flush with the wall, making them an excellent choice for corridors, walkways, and patio areas where you want an unobtrusive frame style. Our single-hung windows feature dual sweep locks that exceed forced entry requirements and are fitted with double strength glass that provides both excellent sound reduction and thermal performance.
Horizontal sliding windows
Horizontal sliding windows are another popular choice of slimline window design. They have a simple sliding mechanism that can easily control the amount of ventilation required. Their lack of protrusions means it’s easy to overlay insect screens and security screens to help keep out the flies, mosquitos, and spiders when the warm weather hits. Window installers can also easily install large horizontal sliding windows in areas where two or more alternative windows would be required. They’re an ideal choice in areas where buyers don’t want their outdoor space to be compromised, such as overlooking decks and pathways.
Casement and awning windows
Casement windows and awning windows are often seen as the more ‘traditional’ style of the slimline window. Casement windows open in an outward direction, either towards the right or left, whereas awning windows are hinged at the top. Both types typically open fully to provide ventilation and maximum light entry. Casement and awning windows built, installed, and maintained by professional window installers benefit from extra weather-proofing, particularly in the case of awning windows where the open window blocks out rain entry. These windows are also built with multi-point locking for additional weather-resistance and security, and unique sill designs to provide water runoff.
Picture windows
Picture windows are a popular choice for Colleyville, TX, residents that wish to have more natural light filtering into their home or business. As the name implies, a picture window is usually used to make a statement about either the interior or exterior view. Window installers most commonly place picture windows in living rooms or master bedrooms, although they can also be placed in dining areas to enhance the view. Unlike other slimline window types, picture windows don’t open. However, they can complement single-hung, sliding, and casement windows present in the same room.
