Carrollwood Window & Door has an extensive selection of windows including energy saving windows, burglar proof windows, storm windows and more. What type of window are you looking for? Have you considered casement windows?
Casement windows are aesthetically pleasing, very popular in some parts of Europe and can even be considered more energy efficient if you buy vinyl casement windows. In Europe you may find casement windows which open inward and have functional shutters on the outside which open outward.
This type of window is held to a frame with hinges. The casement window will be hinged on the side. Other types of hinged windows are hinged in other areas such as the awning window which is hinged at the top.
Vinyl casement windows are more durable. They can better withstand the elements and are known to be more energy efficient. Sometimes, customers prefer the rustic look of a wood framed casement window. These windows will require a little more maintenance as they will not hold up to the elements as well as vinyl windows. This is something to consider as casement windows which open outward are more exposed to the elements than the typical window.
Casement windows are also very difficult to break into so they work great as security windows. This is because of the hard to break into hook shaped lock that comes standard with most casement window frames.
