Kitchen Window Replacement ?

24 days ago

I will be getting new cabinets in the kitchen but want to replace the window before the cabinets. These are the original casement windows (1971) and they are not doubled paned. The middle window is fixed and the left and right windows swing open. There are storm windows but they are a huge hassle to get in and out.



There is also a sliding door to the right of the kitchen window that leads to the screen porch.


This sliding door is at the opposite end of the kitchen dining area. This was replaced in 2022 along with the window to the left of the door. The window on the left was the same as the kitchen window except it had 2 casement windows with the mullion in the middle. That window was replaced with a fixed picture window.




We very much enjoy un-obstructed views from the windows and we don't have windows coverings in any of the common areas of the house. I need to decide what type of window I want in the kitchen space because I will use the same type of window in the rest of the house as we do the replacements. Is it necessary to have a window that opens above the sink, or could I go with a picture window? If not a picture window, should I go double hung or sliding. The windows in the rest of the house are very similar to the kitchen window, except some are much taller (floor to ceiling)


Appreciate any guidance. Not sure if it matters but the house is an L-shaped raised ranch, not a split level, the lower level is a walk-out with 2 beds and a full bath.
