Affordable doors are a favorite among West Valley City homeowners looking for a balance of durability and added features. They come in a variety of styles and finishes to complement any budget.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows have two operable sashes that slide up and down, giving you more options for airflow. This classic window design suits both traditional and modern homes and comes in a variety of materials, finishes, and styles to suit your aesthetic preferences.
When it comes to ventilation, double-hung windows are better than single hung windows. They can open either the top or bottom sash, which allows hot air to escape out of the upper sash while cool air flows in through the lower sash. Additionally, many of today’s double-hung windows can tilt in, making it easy to clean both sides of your glass from inside your home.
Sliding Windows
Unlike hung windows, sliding window sashes open horizontally along tracks. They offer a sleek look and are often installed in rooms that open to balconies, decks or walkways. These types of windows also offer great ventilation without exposing your home to the elements.
Utah’s varying weather conditions require high-performance windows that maintain consistent indoor temperatures and protect furnishings from UV damage. Energy-efficient sliding windows minimize drafts and reduce outside noise, promoting a tranquil living environment. They also help your HVAC system run more efficiently, lowering your utility bills year-round. Vinyl windows are a popular choice because they’re affordable and low-maintenance. They are also highly insulated and designed to endure Utah’s extreme climate.
Awning Windows
Unlike double-hung and sliding windows, these hinge at the top and open outward to boost ventilation in your home. You’ll find them in a variety of shapes and sizes and with options like window grids, frames, and tints.
They’re commonly combined with picture windows to frame big views and bring in lots of natural light, though they can also be used above doors (called transoms) as a way to let fresh air into an entryway. They’re not ideal for egress due to their hinge placement and outward opening, so check local safety codes.
Their horizontal shape suits a variety of space and home styles, though they may not fit if you have more narrow walls. And, since they open outward, they may be harder to clean than other window styles.
Interior Doors
With a variety of styles and options, interior doors can elevate your home’s aesthetic, bolster privacy, and reduce noise and light. Properly installed interior doors also minimize floor gaps, reduce air drafts, and improve energy efficiency.
