Your choice of window style can have a significant impact on your home’s aesthetics, energy efficiency, and value. The right window styles by home type often depends on your home’s architecture, craftsman, colonial, Mediterranean, or ranch, so it helps to match window choices to your home’s existing character rather than picking styles at random. 
Craftsman Windows
When Salt Lake City homeowners think about blending style and efficiency in a craftsman home, they often look to double hung windows and casement windows with grille patterns that complement the home’s historical character.
Bow windows add a distinctly architectural feel to craftsman homes. Their rounded protrusions create an arc of bright illumination and provide additional living space, and they’re perfect for creating cozy window seats.
Traditional-style windows are the ideal choice for homes with classic craftsman architecture. These windows feature designs like double-hung and casement styles with grilles that complement the home’s character, and they’re durable while providing excellent energy efficiency. They come in a wide range of sizes and styles, and can be paired with sliding doors for increased functionality and a seamless design.
Colonial-Style Windows
Colonial windows offer symmetrical lines that complement the traditional aesthetic of your home. They feature a double-hung design with two movable sashes, making them easy to clean and ventilate. They’re also ideal for homes in historic districts or those with preservation guidelines.
Aluminum replacement windows have a sleek appearance that’s easy to maintain and resistant to rust and corrosion. These windows allow for more glass and fewer frames, which maximizes natural light. Our team can help you select an aluminum-based product that meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.
Block frame windows attach directly to the frame studs, making them suitable for new construction or retrofitting. Our team can install this style of replacement window in both existing and historical homes.
Mediterranean Windows
A Mediterranean-style home emphasizes a relaxed, informal ambiance and uses natural materials to complement its surroundings. This window style enhances scenic views and allows more natural light to flow into the living space.
These windows often feature a central picture window with two smaller options on either side, usually angled to create a rounded appearance on the outside of the home. They can be vented and offer a larger view of the outdoors along with more sunlight.
They can also be used in a kitchen to add built-in bench seating, or in a bedroom to create an inviting sitting-room type space. They can be made from wood or aluminum-clad materials to meet your specific needs, and they’re highly energy efficient, providing excellent protection from extreme weather conditions.
Ranch-Style Windows
Ranch-style windows allow you to bring more light and space into your home while maintaining its clean, simple lines. A garden window, which extends out over your kitchen sink, is a great way to display houseplants or keep herbs handy for cooking.
Bay windows are a popular choice for a modern ranch-style home, adding beauty and dimension to the space. They combine three windows, with one fixed inoperable picture window and two operable side panels. You can choose from many window options for the operable side, such as casement and double-hung windows.

Composite Windows
Composite windows are a popular choice for homeowners who want to upgrade their homes. They’re available in a variety of colors and styles and provide superior durability. They’re also less prone to expansion and contraction, making them more resistant to air leakage than some other frame materials.
They’re ideal for Utah’s diverse climate and can improve the comfort, aesthetics, and value of your home. Look for ENERGY STAR certified composite windows to reduce heating and cooling costs.
