One of the most appealing aspects of living in California is the wide range of housing options. Craftsman style homes were popular in the late 1800s and are known for their attention to detail. They are one of the most popular home types in the country since they are both unique and lovely. Are you unsure if your home is built in the Craftsman style? The following are some of the most prevalent traits:
- Covered porch
- Single broad dormer windows
- Roof with exposed beams and steep eaves
- Gable roof with a low pitch
- Stock, square, and/or tapered pillars
- Clapboard siding made of wood with stone, brick, or concrete embellishments
Selecting the Right Window Shape for Your Craftsman Home
Rectangular windows, with their classic design, fit into virtually any home. Square windows are especially attractive in Craftsman homes, and they’re a popular choice for adding natural light to the top floor. Finally, eyebrow windows, which are round on top and flat on the bottom, are often used as a complement to rectangular windows or as a standalone feature.
Selecting the Right Window Style for Your Craftsman Home
Progressive Insulation & Windows has a variety of window designs to choose from. Double-hung windows are the most common for virtually all historical homes. Both panes move up and down, making them extremely practical and allowing for optimum ventilation on hot California evenings. Another common option is multi-pane. There are four to six parts in each of them. Because the lowest portion is unobstructed, these windows provide a fantastic view.
Casement windows are another option. These are the kind of windows that work by swimming outward. Transoms are narrow rectangular windows that are generally put over other windows and frequently feature ornamental elements such as stained glass. Finally, broad trim may be used to frame even small windows, and it can be painted a contrasting color than the window frame to provide visual interest.
Window Materials for a Craftsman House
Progressive Insulation & Windows also has a large selection of materials. Fiberglass is one of the toughest and most durable materials available, and it requires very little care. They’re also environmentally friendly, attractive, and efficient. In most situations, this is the best solution, but if you want, we may offer you with other possibilities.
