Types of Windows We Can Install
When you’re looking to upgrade one or more windows in your home, we can offer a comprehensive range of solutions tailored to meet your specific needs. Our expertise spans various styles, allowing for customization that complements your home's design and functionality.
Each of the windows we install is designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilizing premium materials and technologies that help reduce heating and cooling costs while enhancing comfort. Below are a few of the types of windows we are prepared to install.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are a practical and stylish option for any home, characterized by their hinged design at the top and the ability to open outward from the bottom. This unique structure makes them particularly effective for providing ventilation even during light rain, as the glass creates a protective barrier that helps keep water out. Awning windows are an excellent choice for spaces like kitchens or bathrooms where airflow is essential.
Additionally, their compact design makes them a great fit for smaller wall spaces or as a complement to larger stationary windows, enhancing both functionality and visual appeal. Their durability and weather-tight construction contribute to improved energy efficiency, making them a versatile and valuable addition to any home.
Bay Windows
Bay windows are a timeless architectural feature that can significantly enhance the beauty and functionality of a home. Typically consisting of three or more panels that project outward from the main walls, bay windows create an elegant alcove, adding depth and dimension to any room. One of their key advantages is the abundance of natural light they allow into a space, as their angled design captures sunlight from multiple directions.
These windows can also provide a cozy nook that can be used as a reading area, a small seating arrangement, or even a decorative focal point. They also contribute to improved ventilation, as operable panels can be incorporated to allow fresh air to flow through. Beyond their practical benefits, bay windows elevate a home's aesthetic appeal, lending a sense of openness and sophistication to both modern and traditional interiors.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are a popular window style known for their simplicity and functionality. Hinged on one side, they open outward like a door, typically operated with a crank mechanism. This design allows casement windows to provide excellent ventilation, as they can catch side breezes and direct fresh air into a room. When closed, their tight seal makes them highly energy-efficient, helping to minimize drafts and maintain interior temperatures.
Casement windows also offer unobstructed views, as they lack the horizontal sash bars found in some other window types, making them an ideal choice for spaces where maximizing natural light and visibility is important. Their versatility and sleek appearance make casement windows a favored option for both contemporary and traditional home designs.
Double Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are a classic and versatile window style that features two operable sashes, allowing both the upper and lower panes to move vertically. This design offers excellent ventilation options, as either sash can be adjusted to control airflow. Double-hung windows are particularly convenient for cleaning, as many modern versions allow the sashes to tilt inward, making it easy to clean both the interior and exterior surfaces from inside the home.
These windows are available in a wide range of materials and finishes, providing flexibility to complement different design preferences. Double-hung windows combine functionality and elegance, providing a practical yet stylish solution for any living space.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are large, fixed windows designed to provide expansive views and allow an abundance of natural light into a space. Unlike operable windows, they do not open, making them ideal for areas where ventilation is not a priority but where an unobstructed view is desired.
One of the primary advantages of picture windows is their ability to create a strong connection between the indoors and the outdoors, making them perfect for showcasing scenic landscapes or bringing in sunlight to brighten a room. Their simple design contributes to energy efficiency by eliminating drafts, and their large size can make smaller spaces feel more open and inviting.

How much does a window replacement cost?
The cost to replace one 3 ft. x 5 ft. window can range anywhere from $300-3,000 depending on the window and installation type. If you are looking to replace your window yourself, you can find replacement windows at a local hardware store for less than $300. However, a professional window replacement will range more in the thousands to replace one standard s ft. x 5 ft. window. The cost of your window replacement project will depend on the window type, size, quality of the window, quality of the installation, and warranty.
-
Why is there such a wide range of pricing?
The range of cost for replacement windows all comes down to quality. A low-quality window is going to be low-cost just as a high-quality window is going to be a higher cost.
Less expensive windows typically also have a lower lifespan. When you pay for a higher quality window, you’re paying for it to last.
-
How long will it take to install my new windows?
Generally, one installation crew can install 10-15 windows in one day. However, this depends on the size of the windows and the degree of difficulty of the window. For example, a window on a second or third story of a home will take longer to replace than a window on a first floor.
-
How do I choose the right window for me?
When shopping for replacement windows, you must consider your budget, goals, wants, and needs for your project. Asking yourself the right questions, like how energy efficient you want your windows to be, how long you want them to last, and how durable you want them to be, is crucial to finding the right window for you. Our expert design consultants can help guide you to the right window type and style.
-
Can you repair my existing window?
If you are having troubles with a window that we previously installed, we will service that window to repair or replace it if need be. However, Southwest Exteriors does not perform general window repairs, including glass repairs.
-
Do you have to pull my credit, and what companies do you use to finance?
We use Credit Human, Service Finance Company, EnerBank, GreenSky, and CreditNovo. With each company, it will be a hard pull on your credit.
Do I Need to Replace My Windows?
Replacing your windows can significantly enhance the appearance of your home, offering both aesthetic and functional improvements. While you might choose to upgrade your windows simply to give your living space a fresh, updated look, there are also practical reasons that call for replacement. Over time, windows can show signs of wear and tear that affect their performance, and recognizing these warning signs is essential for maintaining a safe, energy-efficient, and comfortable home.
Don’t wait to reach out to our San Antonio window replacement professionals if you notice any of the following problems:
- Drafts and air leaks. If you feel noticeable drafts near your windows or detect air seeping through the frames, your windows are not adequately sealing your home. This can significantly impact your home’s energy efficiency, leading to higher heating and cooling costs and reduced indoor comfort.
- Difficulty opening or closing. Windows that are difficult to operate or frequently get stuck indicate mechanical issues or swelling that often come with age and exposure to the elements. Properly functioning windows should open and close smoothly, providing easy access for ventilation and emergency exits.
- Visible damage or decay. Warped, cracked, or water-damaged frames are strong indicators that your windows are deteriorating. Decay weakens the structural integrity of the window, compromising your home’s security and diminishing its protection against weather.
- Condensation between panes. If you frequently notice fogging or condensation trapped between the glass panes of your double- or triple-glazed windows, it likely means the seal has failed. This can reduce insulation and lead to further energy loss over time.
- Noticeable noise pollution. Older windows or those with single-pane glass often allow outside noises to enter your home more easily, which can disrupt your peace and quiet. Upgrading to modern windows with improved sound insulation can provide a more tranquil living environment.
- Escalating energy bills. If your heating and cooling expenses have been steadily increasing, inefficient windows could be to blame. Poor insulation or degraded seals allow energy loss, forcing your HVAC system to work harder to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
