Window Styles - Windows Questions
1.00Do I select brand of windows and then find an window installer? What is the recommended order for this job?
Q.5 or 6 double pane 30 year old windows are leaking. Should I determine brand and style of windows first and then find a window installer? Or start with window contractor/installer and then ask for help to determine possible window replacement styles etc.
A.Get yourself 3 or 4 estimates from reputable window installers in your area. They will do all the measuring and recommend decent products for you. Make sure that whatever you do install qualifies for the tax incentive/rebate program.
1.00Can you recommend websites (that you have dealt with personally) for oversized window blinds?
Q.And if you had bad experiences with any company, please let me know that too.
Our windows are 68", "off the shelf" blinds come in 63" lengths. Dangit.
A.Not sure what style of window treatments you want, because different styles have different maximumx, but this site sells blinds in custom sizes:
http://www.homedecorators.com/window.php
You should be able to find a 68" in most things, though.
I bought faux wood blinds from them several years ago, and they arrived quickly, look good, were the right size, & I haven't had any problems with them.
1.00I need wooden blinds for a large window. I have regular windows, they're just bigger than the normal window.?
Q.I'm looking for some wooden blinds, doesnt necessarily have to be real wood, to fit my windows which are about 70" x 35". And not very expensive! Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks :)
A.Check a home center such as HD or Lowe's. They have blinds that can be cut to length for you. There are several different styles to choose from. They will come with support clips for the center. Be sure to use them. Hope this helps.
1.00I need ideas for window coverings for a sliding glass door?
Q.I have a sliding glass door about 10' x 6'8". Does anyone have ideas or know of a good website for window coverings?
A.Draperies are the best bet for Sliding doors. There are many different styles to choose from. You can hang them on deco rods or standard drapery hardware. Shades don't work well on something that wide. The only option with shades is to make 2 or 3 shades to cover the one door and then you have gaps. Draperies give your good coverage. go to my website and if you need help let me know. website below
1.00How do I install hurricane shutters on my windows? How do I measure the headers? How many inches do I need?
Q.I am trying to put up aluminun shutters and don't know how far outside the window I have to be. Do I just cover the window? Or do I go a few inches further? Please help me. I have never done this before. How far are the headers supposed to be?
A.Generally the rule is that the tracks should be mounted at least 2 inches above and below the opening to be "up to code". It's a good rule of thumb to go 2 inches past the width on each side too... however this is if you are referring to the aluminum panels that you put up individually into a track and then take down. Other styles are a bit different...
Here are the types of shutters (all aluminum):
Panels (as mentioned above)
Accordions
Colonials
Bahama Style
Rolling shutters
Do you know which kind you are trying to install?
1.00What type of window treatments should i use for our basement appartment windows?
Q.We live in a basement apartment where the windows are at ceiling height, small, and wide. Im having trouble with finding nice window treatments. Im tired of blinds, and ugly curtains. Someone help?
A.Have you considered cellular shades? They're not "industrial" looking like mini-blinds can be, and they'll add some texture and fabric to your windows. They're also great insulators, which you may need if you're living somewhere with cold winters.
Symphony Double Honeycomb cellular shades offer tons of colors to choose from so you can choose a pattern that fits your style. You can find them at http://www.blindcrafter.com/Symphony/symphony.cfm. And if they're not your style, you can do your window treatment research at BlindCrafter.com, too. They have a variety of styles and fabrics to choose from.
I hope that this insight helps.
Happy Designing!

What are some clothing styles you know of that are popular in your country at the moment? Also, please include the country that you live in currently. Thank you for your answers!

1.00How do i replace a window on a old door?
Q.I broke a window in my door, and my door is old. Its a door with like a bunch of small windows to make one big one. The window i broke is just a bit smaller then a piece of paper. Please help. (I have heard its hard to replace) Some tips on how to replace it please !
A.Home depot 1st. Windoe glass company 2nd. You will need to rmove the wood that is holding the glass (shards) in place. Hopefully it is one of the tick-tack-toe styles that pop all out as one, otherwise you will need to remove the individual wood for than window pane. If you do that, be prepared to replace that piece of wood too, paint it, and fasten in back into place with finnishing nails (once you're done of course)
Any window company sells panes that small. ust tell them the size of the frame and they can cut the glass to fit.
Go to home depot: get a scraper for windor glazing. Get a small tube or can of window glazing. go home and remove the wood, remove the old glazing. It will be hard and brittle. Get all of it out, otherwise you might just break the new pice later or it won't sit right.
Once the old glazing is out, follow the direction for the new glazing. Som ein the wood frame, set the window, some more glazing on the windor where it meets the frame, and then add the wood that you took out (or the new wood).
Be careful hammerring in the wood back into place as you can split it if the nails are on a know or too close to the ends or side.
It's not hard, just takes patience.
If you broke the window and are trying to get away with not telling them, I recommend telling them and giving them your plan to fix it, your pops can help if he isn't going to pummel you.
More Windows Questions
Window Styles
A window opens up to whatever you want it to, and so, making a suitable choice is extremely important. Make a choice only after understanding what you expect from your window style, and whether or not that type goes well with the rest of your house. You also need to take the climate into consideration Below are a few types of windows that are available for you to pick from:
Sliding windows are made up of horizontally sliding sashes. This type is not too expensive and extremely easy when it comes to cleaning them. That is because all you have to do is remove these sashes, clean them up and then put them in place. However ventilation might be a problem, because only one sash slides over the other at a time.
Hinges let you open your casement window either on the outside or on the inside, and that is how you get all the ventilation that you require. The usual casement windows use hinges, while the new ones work on pivot mechanism. Whatever you choose, you have no worry about cleaning because both the sides of the window can easily be reached.
An awning window is hinged at the upper part while a casement window is hinged at the side. There are also awning windows that are hinged at the bottom on lower walls, and to be more precise, those are called hopper windows.
Glass slats arranged in a particular manner makes a jalousie window, and these slats tilt when cranked open only, to provide a lot of fresh air. Although this type of window is a great source of ventilation, it is not the type that is considered the safest.
Fixed pane windows are sealed, and cannot be opened at any time. It is best suited for climatic conditions that are not really favorable, and require the continuous use of a cooler or a heater.
The double hung window is made up one sash that moves up, and another one that moves down. Only one of the two can be opened at one time, and that means lesser ventilation. To counter this problem, open the upper sash of one window, and also the lower sash of the window opposite to that one. This way you can get rid of the existing air in the room from the open upper sash, and get fresh air in from the lower sash. This type of window is a very common feature in American homes.
A single hung window operates on the similar system as the double hung windows. However, in this kind of window, just a single sash can be opened up.
Bay windows look extremely elegant these windows have a central window with one or more sections on each of its sides, and the windows are either in casement or double hung forms.
In this type of window, there are at least three portions that extend from the wall. These portions extend in a bow like curvature which is why it is called a bow window.
Tilt turn window is both a window and also an emergency exit, and that's mainly because this kind of window can turn up to even a hundred and eighty degrees. So you can tilt it to a comfortable angle to clean it up.
Egress windows provide a perfect emergency exit as these are the same size as defined by building codes. They are typically used in bedrooms.
A storm window includes a pocket of air or space amid itself, and the usual window in the house. This space also acts as insulation for the house that protects it from hot and cold climates. It also acts as a block that safeguards the house from storms and other adverse climatic conditions.
