Modern windows and doors call for several distinct elements — plenty of natural light, defined borders, and the inclusion of geometric patterns. With a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles on the market today, it can be a difficult decision to choose a modern window or door replacement for your home. In the end, it all comes down to choosing a model that adds to your aesthetic while meeting your personal preferences.
What Modern Windows Can Do For Your Home
Installing modern windows is key to incorporating a fresh, updated look in the home. With a minimalist design and unobstructed views of outdoor areas, you can utilize simplicity to completely shake up the aesthetic of any room.
Keep in mind that simplicity is key here; you'll want to consider texture options and shades that lean toward a natural appearance. As a bonus, modern window models can end up being the less expensive option as opposed to more elaborate designs. They are also proven to be more energy-efficient, and they can significantly boost curb appeal.
Double-hung Windows
Double-hung windows are a popular choice among homeowners looking for modern window replacements. They have a vertical operation and can be opened either up or down, with both sections having the ability to be open at once.
Because of their easy maintenance and operation, double-hung windows are always in demand. They are easy to clean, provide excellent ventilation, and are versatile enough to fill any space. With their boxed and clean-cut design, these adaptable models are sure to bring a modern touch to any room.
Casement Windows
Casement windows function much like doors; they are hinged on either side and swing open. These modern windows are ideal for homeowners who enjoy wide views and extra ventilation. Casement models also boast ease of operation, with a view that doesn't compromise security.
Their minimalist construction makes them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to embrace the contemporary aesthetic. Our Marvin Signature casement models offer amazing portrait views, complete with modern edges and superior thermal performance year-round.
Bay + Bow Windows
For those seeking additional space or viewing angles, bay and bow windows are an ideal choice. Bow windows consist of multiple windows (4-6 on average) structured together in a semi-circular shape, while bay windows consist of a central fixed window flanked by an operable window on either side.
As modern windows transition into large, functional frames, bay and bow windows are here to provide a unique space with plenty of natural lighting. Bay and bow models also exemplify geometric design, and their clean lines promote a contemporary flair. They add character to any interior with a striking combination of essential function and aesthetic value.
What Modern Doors Can Do For Your Home
As the saying goes, your first impression is also your last impression. No matter the type of property you own, the exterior door is one of the very first aspects of your home others will see. Modern doors can effectively alter your exterior design while advancing curb appeal.
Modern doors are also highly customizable. For example, you might choose to add a certain type of glass panel (such as rain glass or frosted glass) for increased natural light. Or you might decide on certain hardware additions to better align with a modernized appearance; door knockers, metallic handles, and doorbell kits are sure to add a new depth to your entryway.
Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass doors are both resilient and versatile, which makes them resistant to frequent changes in weather patterns. This material provides an excellent base for paint or a number of convincing natural-look finishes without the extra expense.
For an enhanced modern aesthetic, homeowners have the option to include sidelites or decorative panels to allow for natural light to enter the home. These panels, which come in various sizes and styles, can make a modern statement with a pronounced geometric style.
Iron & Steel Doors
Iron and steel doors are very strong, making them a good choice for homeowners who value heightened security mixed with a modernist style. Besides being cost-friendly and extremely resistant to weather, their many design options leave plenty of room for personal touches.
Each custom design is unique, matching any property with elegant lines and a smooth feel. Between specialized finishes, glass panels, and pivot points, the options for a sleeker entryway are only limited by your imagination.
Wood Doors
Wood doors combine optimal warmth and durability for a superior exterior design. With multiple shades (as well as textures) each model contains an individual grain pattern. They are customizable on virtually every level, from the cut to the stain to the hardware.
Because the modernized movement has a renewed focus on natural aesthetics, wood doors incorporate the elements necessary for a contemporary revamp with homeowners' comfort in mind. Wood's properties, for instance, make these models exceptional insulators and sound buffers.
