Our Favorite Window Combinations

If you've never investigated all the window options out there, you might not have realized just how many options there are. Not only are there endless combinations of window frame materials, styles, and colors, but there are also plenty of window combination options.

Creating a combination window for your home offers many benefits and usually delivers the best of both worlds. 

Adding different types of window or door to a window design can improve aesthetics, but it also delivers better ventilation and energy efficiency, and in many situations, can make your home more usable and functional. 

These are windows that are made up of different window styles and designs that are combined together in a hybrid option that offers the benefits of both types of windows. Not only are these windows beautiful and visually appealing, but they often solve problems that a single window style might not be able to, and they offer functionality that you might not find with a standalone window style. 

1. Bay Window Combinations

Bay and bow windows are classic choices that are very popular in a variety of architectural styles. 

Bay window combinations extend the versatility and functionality of a classic bay window, by including picture windows or various operable windows, allowing homeowners the look and feel of bay windows with the usability of those other types of window. 

The main benefit of bay window combinations is that they incorporate the expansive views and increased space that bay windows offer with the usability of other types of windows. 

2. Picture Window with Casement Windows

Picture windows are one of the very best ways to make the most of a glorious view. But we don't only choose windows for the vistas and panoramas we see through them. 

Picture window combinations with casement windows above or alongside the large expanse of glass allow you to maximize views while still offering natural ventilation in the space. 

3. Fixed Window with Double Hung Windows

Fixed windows are often more affordable, and if they are large, they can offer great views. They're also very easy to clean, because there's no moving parts involved. However, this type of window is not great for ventilation. 

Adding double-hung windows to a fixed window gives you the best of both worlds. They're still relatively easy to clean, but they can also be opened and closed to ventilate a room, adjust the temperature, or enjoy a breeze. 

4. Ribbon Windows

Ribbon windows are one of the newest types of window out there, and this sleek, modern horizontal style of window is perfect for many contemporary homes. 

Combining ribbon windows with various kinds of functional windows gives you the modern style of this type of window with the ventilation and functionality of sliding, casement, or other types of windows.

5. Window and Door Combinations

The last kind of window combination we want to highlight is the many kinds of window and door combinations that are available. 

Of course, doors allow access to outdoor spaces, but adding functional windows or even fixed windows can increase the versatility and style of any entryway in your home. Some of the most popular options for this kind of window and door combination are transoms or sidelights.

Conclusion

There are lots of great window options out there today, but you don't have to stick only to what you can order directly from the catalog. 

If you need windows that offer a little more, it's entirely possible to create custom window combinations that give you the views, access, ventilation, and style you need to create the home of your dreams. 

So, whether you're building a new home or replacing your windows, speak to a window expert, share your wish list, and discuss how a custom combination window package can give you everything you want from your windows.
