There is no one set type of Cincinnati window that is available to use on your home. Windows come in different colors, are made with different things on both the outside and on the inside of the glass, and serve different functions.
It may seem that having so many choices when it comes to picking out a window to your home is more trouble than it’s worth, but it really isn’t. Having a large variety helps people to find a window that is just right for their home and finances, because as homeowners not all of our needs are the same.
Cincinnati Window Frames
Window frames are made with many, many different materials and come in an even bigger variety of colors. Do all of these choices really make a difference, or are they all just available because we all have different preferences?
Actually it is a little of both.
The material that the frames are made out of can affect how energy efficient a Cincinnati window is, so that can make a huge difference to your comfort and energy bill. On the other side, the variety of colors available is because we do all have different preferences in what colors we like and how we want the outside of our houses to look.
In Between the Glass of Your Cincinnati Windows
It used to be that a window was a piece of glass that kept the weather and the cold out (for the most part). Today, you would be hard pressed to find good windows that are made with just a single piece of glass anymore.
Most windows now, have two pieces of glass in them (double paned) and sometimes there are even three pieces of glass (triple paned). These multiple panes of glass make the window safer, keeps the frost on the outside of the house like it should be, and acts as a layer of insulation to keep the inside of your home more comfortable.
And between those multiple layers of glass is another window option, whether there is just air or an insulating gas (for increased energy-efficiency).
On the Glass of Your Cincinnati Windows
Finally (yes, there are more), windows also come with the option of being just the plain clear glass that we have used on our home for hundreds of years, or they can have a special glazing on them. Even with the glazing there are two different options available – tinted or low-e.
These glazed windows work in two different ways, but the main focus is to decrease the power of the sun’s rays that enter your home.
With all of these different options that you have for windows your head may be swimming right about now. To help you make sense of it all we have window specialists that will sit down with you to explain the differences, and will help you find the perfect Cincinnati window for your home.
