Assess Your Needs and Goals

Types of Windows

• Casement Windows: These windows are hinged on the side and open outward. They provide excellent ventilation and unobstructed views.
• Double-Hung Windows: These windows have two operable sashes that slide vertically. They're classic and versatile, suitable for most architectural styles.
• Sliding Windows: Similar to double-hung windows, but they slide horizontally. They're easy to operate and are great space-saving options.
• Picture Windows: Fixed and non-operable windows that frame scenic views and allow maximum natural light into your home.
• Awning Windows: Hinged at the top and open outward, these windows are ideal for providing ventilation even during rain.
• Bay and Bow Windows: These protrude from the house's exterior and create additional space and character. Bay windows usually have three panels, while bow windows have more, creating a curved appearance.
• Custom Windows: If you have a specific vision in mind, custom windows can be designed to fit your villa's unique architecture.

Consider Energy Efficiency

Choose Materials Wisely

1. Wood: Provides a classic and timeless look but requires regular maintenance to prevent rot and deterioration.
2. Vinyl: Low-maintenance and cost-effective, vinyl windows are excellent insulators. They're available in various styles and colors.
3. Aluminum: Lightweight and durable, aluminum windows are often used in modern and contemporary designs. They can be prone to heat transfer if not thermally broken.
4. Fiberglass: Highly durable and low-maintenance, fiberglass windows can mimic the look of wood or other materials.
