Window World Products

Window World has a broad range of window styles and types available. Here are a few of the window options available from Window World:

• Basement hopper windows: Perfect for either installing a new window or replacing an old window, basement hopper windows from Window World provide light and ventilation in areas that don't normally get much of either.
• Bay and bow windows: Bay and bow windows extend beyond the walls of the room they are in, providing an appealing aesthetic and depth to the room. Usually, they do not open.
• Casement windows: Usually operated with a crank handle, casement windows are hinged on one side and open outwards.
• Double-hung windows: Available in multiple series from Window World, double-hung windows have an upper and a lower sash that are each able to slide open. The sashes also tilt inwards to allow for easier cleaning.
• Garden windows: Garden windows let in the highest possible amount of light, allowing plants placed in the window to thrive (hence the name). Through Window World, you can have them made with SolarZone glass, which blocks harmful rays without nullifying the light plants need to survive.
• Picture windows: Meant for aesthetic purposes, picture windows do not open, but they can be exactly what is needed to let more light into a room or tie everything together.

Window World Reviews

Many customers find that Window World offers competitive pricing and enjoy the wide range of pricing and style options available. Just about every style or type of window that they offer is available in more than one product line, making it easy to find what you want for your budget.

However, some customers note that, while the products are great, customer service is not always the best. Since Window World is a franchise, it is important to remember that the level of service you will receive and the products they will have available will most likely vary from location to location.

Before making any purchase, it is incredibly important that you read up on any available customer reviews in addition to researching brands and products. It will give you a better idea of what you're getting into, especially with a franchised company such as Window World, where the experience can vary from location to location.
