Q: What are the benefits of an egress window?

• <div><p>The primary benefits of an egress window include providing a safe emergency exit, increasing natural light in a space like a basement, and improving ventilation. Additionally, installing an egress window can often increase your property's value.</p></div>

Q: How does a bow window differ from a bay window?

• <div><p>The differences between a bay window versus a bow window involve the number of individual windows and the angle at which both windows extend from the home. A bow window has four to six individual windows that form a curve outside the exterior wall. A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that&rsquo;s parallel to the home&rsquo;s exterior wall.</p></div>

Q: What are common window sizes?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-window-sizes.htm">standard window sizes</a>. The most common windows, single or double-hung models, typically range from 2-feet by 3-feet up to 4-feet by 6-feet. Of course, sliding windows will be wider than they are tall, though the standard sizing follows the same measurements. </p></div>

Q: How often should I get my windows cleaned?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should get your windows cleaned <b>one to two times</b> annually, although you might want to complete this task more often if you live in an area with heavy pollen or heavy rain or snowfall that soils your windows. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to hire a professional window cleaning service if you&rsquo;re listing your property, as sparkling windows will make a big difference in terms of curb appeal and, potentially, your home&rsquo;s value.</p></div>

Q: Why do old windows have wavy glass?

• <div><p>Contrary to popular belief, wavy glass in older homes isn't caused by warping. The blowing technique used to create windows in homes dating back to the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s left behind small bubbles that create a wavy effect. If a glass window is functional, there's no need to consider wavy glass damaged. In fact, many homeowners prefer the old charm of wavy glass.</p></div>
