When you look at a building, you notice the windows, but probably don't pay a lot of attention to the arrangement. Although you may just accept them as a broad category, there are actually several different styles and types of windows and the original designer probably spent quite some time on achieving just the right configuration and design.
What is a paired window?
One such configuration that is very commonly used is the paired window. Paired windows are defined as two windows placed next to each other with a mullion in between. A mullion is simply the vertical frame piece that provides separation between the two panes of glass. In many cases, the windows will either be under an arch or have arched tops.
Where can paired windows be placed?
As long as the space allows, paired windows can be placed in any location desired. They look wonderful gracing the front of a building, or in the pitch of a second story. These images provide some helpful illustrations for inspiration.
Where can I find paired windows to fit my location?
As with most custom window shapes, many window companies carry custom lines that allow you to have your dimensions specially made, while you choose the frame options, finish colors, and type of glass. The Pella Replacement Window Company is just one example of this.
Window installation is normally not very complicated. However, when working with more custom sizes, a skilled contractor is required. The location must be carefully framed in to adequately support the window, and then the window must be secured and sealed to prevent future problems. Only work with prescreened contractors with a proven reputation. Request free estimates today from window installers in your area.
