From humid summers to rainy winters, your home’s windows have to handle a lot here in Baton Rouge. The right window style can make your home brighter, more energy-efficient, and easier to maintain. At Big River Glass Inc, we’ve installed every kind of residential window you can imagine—and here are a few that work best in South Louisiana.
Single-Hung and Double-Hung Windows
These are classics for a reason. Single-hung windows open from the bottom, while double-hung windows can open from both top and bottom. The double-hung option is perfect for letting warm air escape and cool air flow in—handy during Louisiana’s humid months. They’re also easy to clean and fit traditional home styles beautifully.
Casement Windows
Casement windows swing outward, like a door, with a crank handle. They seal tightly against weather, making them one of the most energy-efficient styles. If you live near the water or in a windy area, this design keeps your home cooler and reduces noise from outside.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, allowing fresh air in—even during light rain. They’re popular in bathrooms, kitchens, and high spots where you want ventilation without compromising privacy.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows move horizontally and are great for rooms facing porches, patios, or walkways. They’re simple, durable, and easy to operate—ideal for homeowners who prefer minimal maintenance and clean lines.
Picture Windows
For a big Louisiana view, nothing beats a picture window. These fixed panes don’t open, but they flood your home with natural light. Pair them with smaller operable windows nearby to balance ventilation and aesthetics.
Choosing What Fits Your Home
Every house is different. Whether your home is a classic Acadian, modern farmhouse, or mid-century ranch, we’ll help you match window styles that fit both your look and lifestyle. Energy-efficient Low-E options are available for all window types to handle Louisiana’s heat and humidity.
