A Look at Traditional Window Styles

Traditional windows are some of the most common found in Richardson, TX and throughout the rest of the country. The traditional designs actually include a number of different styles. Some are unique to America while others are inspired by European architecture. The various styles are different based on where they originated. The American designs were created to accommodate a lot of different lifestyles, for example. If you are looking for new windows for your Richardson, TX style, traditional windows are always a good option. Here are a few of the styles you should consider.

Cottage Style

Cottage Style windows are common across the country. In the Texas region, they are most often found on bungalow style homes. Cottage style windows feature items like bay windows, arched windows and arch top doors with windows. The homes themselves often have wood for traditional facades.

Victorian Style

Victorian styles became popular in the 1800s and hold a lot of decorative values. Windows in the Victorian style include patterns, bay windows, intriguing shapes, wrought iron brackets, and curves.

Classical Style

The Romans and Greeks often inspire classical styles. They are rare in the U.S. but they pop up from time to time in Texas. Windows in these homes are often single or double hung. They sometimes have wooden grilles or another divide to maintain that age—old look.

Neoclassical Style

This style has some classical elements, but it is more residential in nature. The styles work well in the country and in the city. You will see symmetry in the windows and a few decorative aesthetics that come into the design. Single and double hung windows are the best option here and windows with arches at the top fit in well too.
