Awning Windows
Top-hinged and opened from the bottom, awning windows promote airflow even in light rain and pair well with larger fixed windows for design flexibility.
Side-hinged and operated by a crank, casements open wide for maximum ventilation and seal tightly when closed—great for energy efficiency and clear views.
A timeless New England favorite: both upper and lower sashes move for versatile ventilation, easy cleaning, and a classic look that fits many home styles.
Similar to double-hung but with a single operable lower sash—often a cost-effective choice that maintains a traditional appearance with fewer moving parts.

The installation time depends on the type of window and project complexity. Standard vinyl insert replacements typically take 30–60 minutes per window. Full-frame replacements or complex setups can take 2–4 hours per window. For larger projects (10+ windows), most jobs are completed within one to two days.
How should I prepare my home for installation day?
To help installers work efficiently, clear the area around your windows inside and outside, remove blinds or curtains, and disconnect alarm sensors. Make sure pets and children are safely out of the work zone. This preparation helps prevent delays and protects your home.
Do I need a permit for window replacement?
Yes, many towns require building permits for new or replacement windows. For example, Brookfield, CT, requires permits to be submitted through their online permit center before work can begin. Always confirm with your local building department.
What’s the difference between retrofit (insert) and full-frame replacement?
Retrofit windows are installed inside the existing frame, keeping siding, trim, and the frame intact. Full-frame replacements remove the entire old window, including the frame and sill, and allow for a completely new installation. Full-frame is ideal for damaged frames or major style updates.
Can WindowRama match existing trim and colors?
Yes. Sierra Pacific vinyl windows are available in 14 decorator colors, and custom color matching is available to blend seamlessly with existing trim, siding, and home décor.
How do warranties work (labor versus product)?
Manufacturers such as Andersen offer a 20-year glass warranty and a 10-year parts warranty. WindowRama provides a two-year installation warranty, and homeowners can add RamaCare for extended labor protection. Together, these cover both product and workmanship.
Does WindowRama offer financing?
Yes. Financing options include no interest and no payments if paid in full within 12 months (subject to credit approval). This makes it easier to start your project without paying upfront.
Product-Specific FAQs
Awning Windows — What are their benefits?
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, making them perfect for ventilation during light rain. They pair well with larger picture windows for design flexibility and provide a tight seal for improved energy efficiency.
Casement Windows — Why should I choose them?
Casement windows open outward with a crank and provide maximum ventilation and unobstructed views. Their snug seal when closed makes them one of the most energy-efficient options, preventing drafts and heat loss.
Double-Hung Windows — Why are they so popular in New England?
Double-hung windows have two sashes that move vertically, allowing both the top and bottom sections to open. This gives flexible ventilation and makes cleaning simple. Their timeless design fits perfectly with traditional New England architecture.
Sliding (Gliding) Windows — Are they right for modern homes?
Yes. Sliding windows open horizontally along tracks, making them great for contemporary spaces or areas where outward-swinging windows aren’t practical. They offer a sleek design, smooth operation, and save valuable space.
Bay and Bow Windows — What advantages do they provide?
Bay and bow windows project outward from the wall, creating extra space inside your home while capturing more natural light. They also serve as an architectural focal point and can be designed with seating or storage built in.
Picture Windows — Are they energy efficient?
Yes. Picture windows are fixed and non-operable, which means they provide a strong, airtight seal. This makes them highly energy efficient while offering expansive, unobstructed views of the outdoors. They’re often combined with operable windows to add ventilation.
Which windows are best for coastal homes?
Fiberglass or vinyl windows are ideal for coastal areas due to their resistance to moisture and corrosion. Impact-resistant, Low-E insulated glass in casement or awning styles offers strong protection against wind and water, making them perfect for coastal environments.
