## Do Replacement Windows Mean Saying Farewell to Your Home’s Vintage Charm?

Often times, today, it’s tough to combine energy efficiency with style – especially
when it comes to **[replacement windows](https://mycoastalwindows.com/windows/)**.
The most popular window styles found on today’s homes are:

⌊Single Hung Window⌉⌊Single Hung Window⌉ ⌊Double Hung Window⌉

 

 

⌊Sliding Window⌉⌊Sliding Window⌉ ⌊CasementWindow⌉ ⌊Awning Window⌉

But did you notice that most of these window styles don’t really have that much 
style at all? Old, drafty, non-energy efficient windows can cost a lot in terms 
of comfort and on your home’s heating and cooling bills. This is why many people
today **[look into energy-efficient replacement windows for their home](https://mycoastalwindows.com/projects/casement-replacement-windows-gloucester-ma/).**

## Hang an Upcycled Window In Front Of Your Replacement Windows

We love this example of hanging a vintage leaded transom sash in front of a **[single hung replacement window](https://mycoastalwindows.com/windows/types/).**

Want this look for your New England home? We found another leaded transom sash on
Architectural Antiquities! We also love this Queen Anne era elongated diamond pattern
sash too!

## Choose Vintage Window Style Accents for Your Replacement Windows

Incorporate Arched transom windows into your replacement window styles.

The arched window featured below includes multiple window styles. The arched window
up top is technically a basement window (hinged at the bottom and opens inward),
while the bottom windows are **[casement windows](https://mycoastalwindows.com/windows/types/)**.
