From aesthetics to energy efficiency to durability, there have been many recent advancements in window replacement technology. Let’s go over some of the trends you should be watching for this year.
Bold Designs, Unique Shapes
It’s not enough for windows to just be functional; they can make a bold design statement as well. More and more homeowners are being drawn to unique window shapes coupled with bold designs that really bring out the aesthetic appeal of their houses. Replacement window companies have heard the call and as such are ensuring their product lines now include a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. From geometric shapes to large picture windows, design is big in 2024.
Maximizing Natural Light
The trend is moving toward more well-lit and airy spaces in homes, which means the windows we use in our homes need to maximize natural light. As such, you’ll see more designs that put a bigger emphasis on large window sizes and configurations to encourage the flooding of more sunlight into your living spaces. This translates to fewer grids and narrower frame profiles that blur the definition between outdoor and indoor living, offering more of a connection with nature than ever before.
Customization
Cookie cutter windows are not enough for today’s homeowners as they seek customization options to truly personalize their replacement windows. That’s why more window companies are offering more customization choices, from frame materials and colors to an array of hardware finishes. Now you can personalize your new windows to complement your unique style and that of your home.
Hybrid Uses
Homeowners are starting to mix replacement window styles to highlight high-profile windows in their homes. They’re adding the more expansive windows to high-profile places such as family rooms, entryways, and kitchens to showcase their beauty, while reserving the more utilitarian windows for bedrooms and offices that aren’t seen by others as much. This allows them to save money while ensuring their home looks best where it matters the most.
Low Maintenance and Durability
Homeowners are tired of cleaning. They want low-maintenance solutions that last by brands they can trust, such as Pella, Andersen, and Marvin. That’s why you’ll see more options for durable materials requiring minimal upkeep, such as fiberglass and vinyl. These materials are revered for their longevity, beauty, and resistance to the elements, providing homeowners with the hassle-free solutions they crave in their busy lives.
Darker Frames
Yes, black is a bold color choice, especially on a home, but it’s also a neutral color that will not compete with other colors. Not only does it blend well with darker colors, it contrasts well with lighter colors for a touch of class to both options. Just remember that metal conducts heat, so black metal frames can get very hot to the touch. There are now composite materials you can choose from that won’t burn your skin in summer.
