Popular Pennsylvania Home Styles and their Windows

Pennsylvanians are proud of their history and culture, which are evident in most home styles in the state. Most local homeowners have always loved traditional architectural styles—from Georgian Colonial houses to Victorian homes.

As Pennsylvania is home to traditional home styles, Renewal by Andersen® of Central PA, the company that provides quality replacement windows in Lancaster, PA, offers a wide range of window styles. Our window options can retain that old “feel” in your home and still provide comfort of a technologically advanced home.

To help you choose the right window, here are some of the most popular home styles in Pennsylvania and the windows that will complement them:

• Craftsman Bungalow – This home style has a simple yet attractive design. It was borne out of the Arts and Crafts Movement and puts emphasis on natural materials such as wood, stone, and brick. It usually has a wide front porch and a low-pitched roof.

Window styles: Casement and double-hung with vertical or square grilles in the upper windows will fit perfectly.

• Victorian – This emerged between 1830 and 1910 under the reign of Queen Victoria. A complex facade with bright colors, large porches, ornate trim, asymmetrical shape and multi-faceted rooflines characterize this home style.

Window styles: Double-hung windows with decorative and/or colored glass or grille will work on the top sash on the second floor and/or third floor. For the first-floor windows, bay windows with unequal sash are the perfect choice.

• Tudor – This popular style is known for its steeply-pitched, multi-gabled roofs and decorative half-timber framing.

Window styles: Casement windows in groups separated by millions. You may choose to top these with a transom. Bay windows on one side of an asymmetrically shaped home can also do wonders on your Tudor home’s overall appearance.
