Video Blog: All About Specialty Windows

If you want to add that distinctive look and elegant feel to your home without radical alterations, then you should consider installing specialty windows. They are fixed windows that don’t always have four square corners – they could be full circles, right triangles, or even octagons. They are designed to add a “wow” factor to your home. Since specialty windows do not open, they are among the most energy-efficient windows in our product line.

A specialty window can make typical replacement windows in San Francisco look special, and can dramatically change the look of the entire home. For instance, adding a curved top window above a casement or double hung window will give the room more elegance and let more natural light in. Here are some ideas:

• A circular specialty window installed at attic level under the roof peak can be ornamental while keeping the attic illuminated during the day.
• A half-circle specialty window installed at the top of the front door makes the entryway look bigger and adds illumination to the front hall.
• Curved specialty windows flanking patio doors make the doorway look wider.
