Form, function, and efficiency all framed by the right window.
Windows do more than let the light in. The right windows can transform your home’s style, improve energy efficiency, and even boost comfort year-round. Whether you’re building new or updating an older home, choosing the perfect windows is a decision that pays off in both beauty and practicality.
At WoodMart Building Center in Quincy, we carry trusted brands like Andersen and Tempco and our pros can guide you through the wide selection of shapes, sizes, and finishes to match your home. Let’s explore some of the most popular window types and styles and how to decide which ones are right for you.
Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows
Classic, versatile, and timeless.
Hung windows are some of the most common styles you’ll find. Both feature two sashes (the panels that hold the glass), but in single-hung windows, only the bottom sash moves, while in double-hung windows, both can slide up and down.
Double-hung windows are great for ventilation and easy cleaning, while single-hung options often come at a lower cost. Both styles work well in traditional or modern homes.
Casement and Awning Windows
If you want maximum airflow and a sleek look, casement windows (which are hinged at the side and open outward) can be a fantastic choice. Awning windows (hinged at the top) open outward as well and are perfect for areas that need light and ventilation but might be exposed to rain.
Both styles offer great energy efficiency since they seal tightly when closed.
Picture and Specialty Windows
For homeowners who want to highlight a view or flood their space with natural light, picture windows are an excellent option. They don’t open, but they provide wide, unobstructed glass that makes a room feel larger and brighter.
Looking for something unique? WoodMart offers specialty window shapes like arches and varied geometric designs that can add architectural interest and personality to your home.
Bay and Bow Windows
Few window styles make a statement like bay and bow windows. These multi-panel windows project outward from the home, creating more interior space and offering expansive views. Perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, or cozy reading nooks, bay and bow windows combine function with elegance.
Energy Efficiency and Materials
No matter which style you choose, efficiency should be top of mind. The right materials and construction help lower energy costs while keeping your home comfortable year-round.
At WoodMart, we partner with leading brands like Andersen and Tempco to ensure you’re getting durable high-quality windows designed to perform in Midwest weather. Whether you prefer vinyl, wood, or composite frames, we’ll help you find a solution that balances style with long-term performance.
