Many people today are considering the replacement of traditional tilt and turn windows or the installation of new sliding doors with European windows. When it comes to the design of their home improvement projects-many people like to try out European windows or doors. The thought of replacing doors or adding new ones in a home is a very exciting prospect. Many people like the idea of having a more timeless appearance in their home by choosing European doors.
In the last few years, European styles have become extremely popular in the United States. The European look and feel have created a sensation, especially in the American southwest and New England states. There are many homeowners who are looking for energy efficiency alternatives to the traditional American designs. The combination of the materials used, the layout, the colors and textures, the unique style and the unique American spirit has created a sensation. Many people who are not aware of the advantages of having European windows know about the energy savings that they produce, but they are not sure how the difference in energy savings comes about.
Most European tilt and turn windows have two panes of glass, one pane that slides open and closed and the other that remains closed. When the door or the window is completely open, the amount of sunlight that can pass through is almost double. This means that for a similar amount of heat input, the amount of heat that can escape is much less. Therefore, the amount of air-conditioning that has to be performed is lower. Since the design eliminates the need for air-conditioning, the homeowner will save money on their utility bills.
When a home owner installs the European style of windows in their home, they will notice significant differences right away. It is evident that the materials are different. The design is different as well. Because of the large size of the panes of glass that are used in the tilt and turn windows, they are considered to be energy efficient windows as well, even though they do not offer the American version of an insulating quality.
However, when a person installs their own European windows or doors they will notice differences because they are not using traditional materials. For example, the panes are made of thick glass with an aluminum frame. When using traditional materials such as wood, the panes would be made of oak, the frames would be made of metal like wrought iron, and the frames themselves would be made of bronze or even gold. In contrast, the European-style framed doors use a material that is almost a solid silver in color – brushed nickel. This design element creates an attractive contemporary appearance that is very pleasing to the eye.
When a person installs their own tilt and turn windows or sliding doors in their home, they will have another choice to choose from as well. Many people prefer the look of the tilt and turn windows, but they do not want the design elements found in the European style windows. So, if they do not like the tilt and turn windows then they can install the more traditional European windows. But, if they like the European windows they could install both styles and create a unique modern combination that is both modern and stylish.
The tilt and turn windows that are available in the U.S. are designed for the more traditional home. Therefore, if you are an American who desires the European look and feel, the tilt and turn windows that are made in the U.S. are not the best option for your home. However, if you are an educated European and understand how the European homes are constructed then these windows might be a good choice for your home. Regardless, of whether you prefer the American or European look, both styles have high energy efficiency when compared to their counterparts in the United States and Europe.
