Selecting the right windows for your house is more than just a detail; it’s an essential aspect of your home’s character, efficiency, and comfort. At Solent Glass and Glazing, we understand the significance of finding perfect window solutions that suit both your aesthetic preferences and functional needs. Here’s how to ensure you make the best choice.
Understand the Different Types of Windows
Windows come in various styles, each offering unique benefits and suiting different architectural designs:
Casement Windows: Attached to their frame by one or more hinges at the side, they open outward to the left or right. These are great for ventilation and are very energy efficient.
Sash Windows: Comprising one or more movable panels, or “sashes”, they provide traditional charm. The two main types of sash windows are single hung (where one half is movable) and double hung (where both halves can move).
Tilt and Turn Windows: These can open in two ways: they tilt in at the top for ventilation and turn to open fully from the side. This dual functionality is perfect for those requiring practicality as well as security.
Glazing Options to Consider
When choosing windows, glazing is an important factor. We at Solent Glass and Glazing offer different types of glazing options to suit any project. Double Glazing is Standard for most homes; it offers good thermal and acoustic insulation. With the ability to achieve an A rating for energy efficiency, our double glazing is a great choice for any project. Alternatively, if you are looking for even better enhanced thermal efficiency, then check out our incredible triple glazing for increased energy efficiency and noise reduction.

Consider Aesthetics
Your windows should complement both the interior and exterior aesthetics of your home. Consider proportion, colour, and how the windows will fit with your current style. Remember, some windows might be excellent for letting in light but not quite right for the style of your home, so balance functionality with design.
