Sliding Windows

Sliding windows have many benefits. They are beautiful, low-maintenance, and easy to operate, making them a dream for today's modern homeowner. They glide smoothly to the left or right to open and close. Additionally, Ultrex fiberglass provides narrow frames and broad glass panes, offering bigger views and more natural lighting.

Casement Windows

Casement windows offer sleek frames and expansive glass panes are all the rage in modern window design—and that's precisely what casement windows offer. These windows open outward like a door, providing better ventilation, energy-efficiency, and less frame compared to traditional double hung windows.

Large Picture Windows

Very large, expansive picture windows that let in plenty of natural light are a major trend in modern home design. Picture windows do just that and are the perfect statement piece in a living room, kitchen, or master bedroom. They're exceptionally efficient and stylishly simple while offering stunning views of your home's landscape or scenery.

Eco-Smart Window Solutions for Modern Homes

Today's homeowners value efficiency more than ever. Choosing innovative windows with energy-saving features is an excellent place to start on the journey to making your home more efficient. Modern windows aren't only good for lowering your utility bills, but they're also good for the environment!

In addition to earning a high rating from ENERGY STAR®, here are some other criteria to look for when choosing energy-efficient replacement windows:

Double-Pane and Triple-Pane Windows

Swapping out single-pane windows with multi-pane window systems is an easy way to modernize your home while dramatically boosting its efficiency.

Double- and triple-pane windows include two or three glass panes separated by at least one gas spacer. Heat travels slower through solids and gases, making multi-pane window systems much better insulators and energy-efficient alternatives to single-pane windows.

Insulating Frames

Window frames are offered in four materials: wood, fiberglass, vinyl, and aluminum. While aluminum and vinyl windows aren't as insulating, wood and fiberglass are terrific insulators.

Because wood windows require more maintenance, contemporary homeowners opt for durable, stylish fiberglass windows for optimal performance and long-term stability. But don't worry about having to sacrifice the look of traditional wood. Ultrex Fiberglass can mimic the appearance of wood with their interior Everwood finish. Not only do you get the look you're after, but it will not rot, warp, expand, or contract during weather changes, offering exceptional efficiency and low-maintenance upkeep.

Solar-Control Glass

You're likely familiar with the heat and humidity of Southern summers. While we may not face the extreme cold and snow of the North, winter temperatures can still become uncomfortable down South as well. And like most Georgia homeowners, you want to keep both of these hot and cold temperatures out of your house at all costs (without blocking the beautiful natural light, of course!).

In addition to the frame material, the type of glass in your window also affects their energy-efficiency. Characteristics like U-factor and Low-E coatings are important to consider when selecting your glass package. It sounds confusing, but the team at North Georgia Replacement Windows is here to simplify the window-shopping process and help you make an educated investment.

Modern Materials and Cutting-Edge Design Techniques for Contemporary Windows

Though wood, vinyl, and aluminum have all been popular frame materials in the past, modern homeowners are turning to fiberglass windows for lasting durability, low-maintenance upkeep, and design flexibility. Unlike Fibrex® and other composite window materials, fiberglass windows will not warp or melt, experience seal failure, or block outdoor views with thick, bulky frames.

Benefits of Ultrex Fiberglass

To step beyond traditional fiberglass frames, choose from modern Infinity from Marvin® fiberglass windows made with Ultrex®. Ultrex is an innovative fiberglass product made by saturating strong glass cables with specialty compounded resins. This results in a strong, low-maintenance window that requires a diamond-edge blade to cut it!
Here is why Georgia homeowners love Ultrex:
  • Superior Strength — Ultrex is eight times stronger than vinyl and three times stronger than wood and vinyl composite products, making it resistant to warping and weathering.
  • Expanded Views — Since Ultrex is so strong, less of it is needed to produce a sturdy window, resulting in slimmer, elegant frames that invite more natural sunlight inside - and lend itself to a more contemporary look!
  • Beautiful Finishes — Ultrex windows have an acrylic finish three times thicker than competitors' to resist scratching, chalking, and fading. Choose from lovely exterior and interior colors or stainable EverWood® that looks and feels just like natural wood.

Balancing Beauty and Utility with Current Trends in Window Design

Functionality is fashionable in modern window design. The following innovative window trends blur the lines between practical performance and aesthetic appeal.

Slim Frames

In modern window design, the slimmer the frames are—the better!

Narrow, elegant frames invite more natural light inside and allow for picturesque views of your property's scenery, creating bigger, bolder views and the appealing illusion of indoor and outdoor living. Picture windows with slim frames in a hub of the home, like the living room or kitchen, are ideal for embracing this modern design trend.

Beautiful Profile

In addition to slim frames, modern window styles prefer clean lines over clutter. The Infinity from Marvin window is designed to be both beautiful and highly functional. Unlike other windows that rely on fuzzy weatherstripping, which can collect dust and discolor over time, the Infinity window features a sleek bubble seal—similar to the seal on your refrigerator door. This innovative design provides a tight, energy-efficient closure while remaining hidden, eliminating any unsightly elements that could detract from the window's clean aesthetic.

Additionally, the window's single lock system with integrated tilt latches creates smooth, uninterrupted sightlines, free from plastic parts that are prone to breaking or discoloration. The all-fiberglass putty glaze profile adds to its refined look, avoiding the bulky, less appealing frames found in other windows. This attention to detail ensures that Infinity windows maintain a timeless, streamlined appearance without sacrificing durability or energy efficiency, making them the perfect blend of beauty and performance.

Hardware Finishes

Modern windows offer a wide array of hardware finishes, allowing homeowners to customize their look to match any design style. Popular finishes like matte black and brushed nickel provide sleek, contemporary options. For a more rustic or industrial feel, dark bronze or oil-rubbed bronze brings warmth and character, and brushed gold or brass offers a luxurious, elegant touch.
