Choosing a window style that goes with the rest of your house is another crucial concern. The wrong choice can ruin the look of your house and lower resale value. Many professionals follow these rules of thumb:

• Traditional or colonial-style homes look best with small double-hung windows with divided lights-referred to as "six-over-six" or "eight-over eight" to describe the number of panes in each sash.
• For modern or contemporary homes, large, metal-frame units are a safe bet.
• Ranch-style houses often look best with outswing casement windows that don't have divided lights.

If you don't like the window style you're replacing, look at designs in similar homes. And ask your dealer or contractor to show you how different styles look in their past jobs.

Window style is critical when adding window area to a wall. Install units similar or identical to existing windows in shape and size and gang them together — a better arrangement than installing one large unit that looks out of place.

Yet another concern is where to locate new windows on a wall — something that depends partly on ceiling and floor locations. An easy way to determine placement, is to stand outside and line up the top of the new windows with the top of an existing window. Even if the new windows aren't the same length, a
consistent head height will give them a sense of order on the wall.

When shopping, also look at a manufacturer's entire line of windows. Most companies offer their product lines in different materials, grille designs and sizes. Some also offer windows designed specifically to complement older homes.
