A Bevy of Popular Window Styles

If you're beginning a window replacement project, one of the most exciting parts of the process is selecting the window styles that best suit your needs and preferences. At Premier Quality Windows & Siding, we help homeowners across the west and southwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, find the perfect combination of form and function with their new windows. We source our replacement windows from top manufacturers, such as Pella, Andersen, Marvin, Sunrise, and SoftLite, to offer a wide variety of window styles, including:

Single-Hung Windows

Featuring a fixed upper sash and a lower sash that opens vertically, single-hung windows are ideal for traditional-style homes and are known for their simple operation and energy efficiency. Because only one sash moves, they are especially effective in reducing air infiltration.

Double-Hung Windows

Thanks to two operable sashes that slide up and down, double-hung windows are easy to clean and highly versatile. They allow for optimal ventilation from the top, bottom, or both. This popular window style suits a wide range of architectural designs and is a favorite among homeowners for its timeless look and convenience.

Casement Windows

Hinged on the side and opening outward like a door using a crank mechanism, casement windows offer exceptional airflow and unobstructed views, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and hard-to-reach spaces. Their tight seal also contributes to excellent energy efficiency.

Awning Windows

Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, allowing for ventilation even during light rain. Often paired with larger fixed windows, they are a great option for adding privacy without sacrificing airflow.

Bay Windows

Bay windows extend outward from the home and typically consist of a large center picture window flanked by two smaller operable windows. This window style adds dimension to any room, brings in more natural light, and creates a cozy nook or seating area.

Bow Windows

Similar to bay windows but with a more curved design, bow windows comprise four or more panels, forming a gentle arch. They provide panoramic views, allow for ample sunlight, and add architectural interest to the home.

Slider Windows

Slider windows open horizontally along a track, making them easy to operate and ideal for spaces with limited vertical clearance. Their streamlined design suits modern homes and allows for wide, unobstructed views.

Picture Windows

Non-operating picture windows are designed to maximize natural light and capture views of the outdoors. They are typically installed in hard-to-reach spaces, such as stairwells and high walls.

Garden Windows

Protruding from the wall and featuring glass on all sides, garden windows create a mini greenhouse perfect for growing herbs or houseplants—making them a popular choice for kitchens.

Custom Windows

If you’re looking for a unique shape or design, custom windows from Premier Quality Windows & Siding allow you to create something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s a circle, triangle, or an intricate grid pattern, custom windows let you bring your vision to life while complementing your home’s architecture.
