The Best Window Style for Each Room in Your House

Hey guys, John with American Window Concepts and today we're talking about best window styles for each room in your house. Let's talk about that. So, this is a very openended question. It doesn't work like that. It's going to come down to this. Your style and then also the style of the house. What year was the house built? Was it built in the 30s? Does it have a bunch of single hung and double hung windows that are 36x 48? Because if that's the case and you're not changing any of the window frames, you're keeping them all the same. Maybe casements, they look gorgeous. Maybe double hungs like the house originally had back in the days. Wood windows back in the 30s and 40s, they were all double hung windows. If you have houses built in the 70s and up, you're especially in California, you're going to have a lot of windows that are sliders. Tons and tons of slider windows. I mean, that's just the way it goes. Decent sized windows, you know, 6' x 4t and a bunch of slider windows. So, with all these slider windows, it opens doors to you. You can do some pretty crazy things in bedrooms. You always have to make sure, and I'll I've made videos on this, and it's very important. California egress rules. In bedrooms, if you have a closet in that room, guess what? You got a bedroom, and you got to make sure that you have your 5.7 square foot of an egress to get out or ingress for a fireman to get in. If you're dealing with this kind of a window, you're like, "Okay, well, I want to keep it the same size, but maybe I want to get crafty." All right. Well, you can do different things, right? You can make a two wide where you have a single hung and a single hung. Granted, it's not in a bedroom because if it's in a bedroom, that's not going to work for you. But in a living room or a kitchen or a dining room or anything like that where it's not in a bedroom, you can do all kinds of cool stuff. You know, you just ask whoever's coming to your house, you know, hey, what what would you do here? Right? We do windows all day every day. I'm thinking we could do a three wide. You have a casement, picture window, then another casement. And people are like, I never even thought about that. Casements are a great option. I think they're probably one of my favorite windows because of how much air they actually capture when they're open and when they're closed and locked, how much air they don't allow in your house. Great for beach houses, great for desert houses, double hungs, single hungs, XOX windows, XOXX gliders. There's so many different things that you can do. It's crazy. Garden window. Those are always cool. Well, a lot of times I get a garden window set up whenever a customer has a sink, has this little window, you know, whatever the size is, and they're like, "Man, you know, um, can is there anything that you could suggest besides whatever I have here, a little XO slider? How about we put a garden window in?" Really, really neat idea. Endless almost, right? And so, I want you to do some homework, take a look, and then ask questions to whoever comes over as well. What would be the best for this house? What would be the best for this style of house? What would be the best for these window sizes? Make them think. Make them answer the questions. It's what we do. We're happy to do it. All right, guys. Hopefully this helps. Make it a great day.
