Lone Wolf Exteriors Provides Replacement Window Services

A replacement window is a framed window designed to slip inside the original window frame from the inside after the old sashes are removed.  Lone Wolf Exteriors offers a complete array of replacement window options.

• Single Hung windows

  A single-hung window, also known as a single-sash window, is a type of window with a lower, operable sash and an upper, fixed sash. This means that the bottom part of the window slides up and down, while the top part remains stationary. Single-hung windows provide ventilation through the bottom sash.

• Double-hung windows

  A double-hung window, also commonly referred to as a double-sash window, is a type of window that has two operable sashes that slide up and down. There are two main operable parts of a double-hung window — the top sash and the bottom sash. They are both able to open to provide ventilation. Because heat rises, warm air is able to escape out of the top sash, while cool air from the outside is able to flow through the lower sash opening to help provide increased comfort. This makes them an excellent choice for two-story homes.

• Sliding windows

  Sliding windows open by sliding horizontally along a top and bottom track in the window frame. They are similar to a double-hung window turned on its side.

• Picture windows

  A picture window is a large fixed window in a wall, typically without glazing bars, or glazed with only perfunctory glazing bars (muntins) near the edge of the window. Picture windows provide an unimpeded view, as if framing a picture.

• Casement windows
  A casement window is a window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung (also called “awning window”; see below), or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash. They are usually opened using a crank,. Handing applies to casement windows to determine direction of swing; a casement window may be left-handed, right-handed, or double. The casement window is more popular in the UK and many other parts of Europe than in the USA.

• Awning windows

  An awning window is a casement window that is hung horizontally, hinged on top, so that it swings outward like an awning. In addition to being used independently, they can be stacked, several in one opening, or combined with fixed glass. They are particularly useful for ventilation.

• Bay Windows

  A bay window is a multi-panel window, with at least three panels set at different angles to create a protrusion from the wall line. A bay window is generally larger than a garden window. Bay windows consist of three windows, typically two angled operable windows with one fixed inoperable picture window between. Bay windows feature more angular lines than a bow. Because of this, bay windows are more often used in transitional and contemporary home styles, but they look equally at home in more traditional style homes, such as a classic cottage or vintage Victorian. With only three windows, bay windows are narrower than bow windows. The two operable angled windows in the bay most commonly feature either casement or double-hung window types. Bay windows are angled away from the wall at angles of 25 to 45 degrees.

• Bow windows

  Bow windows, also called compass windows, are comprised of four or more windows of the same identical size and shape to create a more subtle curve than a bay window. Bow windows are usually referred to by the number of windows in the bow, such as a four-lite bow, a five-lite bow or a six-lite bow. Bow windows provide multiple design options and work best in exterior walls or corners with 80 inches or more of space, making them more suitable to fit large areas than their bay counterparts. Extremely versatile, bow windows can even be wrapped around the corner of a home, forming an attractive turret shape on the outside and an inviting nook on the inside.

• Garden windows

  Garden windows are a designated place for plants to grow in the sunlight of a window. Garden windows extend outward beyond an exterior wall, creating a three-dimensional glass box for plants to live. Garden windows create a window box where plants can be placed and have a 90-degree angle “floor” to place plants and objects upon.

• Custom Windows

  Custom windows are custom sized and sometimes specifically designed for the individual application. They can be a variety of shapes and sizes.

• Black Windows

  Black windows have black window frames. The provide a modern look both inside and outside the home and create contrast for lighter colored homes and homes with light colored siding and trim. Black windows are priced like other colored windows such as gray windows. They are more expensive than white windows, but significantly increase the value of a home.
