Looking for premium modern windows and doors for your home? 

Everyone wants stunning windows and doors for their home, but its often hard to know what to look for! What makes one window or door better than the other? Which type is best for the application you had in mind? Needless to say, there are several different styles and benefits to updating your windows and doors.

Today we’ll be focusing on two of our favorite window companies and taking you through some of the different styles that you should consider for your home.

What Defines Modern Windows and Doors?

When it comes to defining modern windows and doors, the characteristics are pretty simple. What makes them unique and modern is the architecture around them. Putting a modern window into an older, more eclectic home wouldn’t make the home modern. It would just be a window that was finished in such a way to give the impression of it being modern.

Some of the most modern-looking windows are more modern because of the places that they are installed and the impression that they give off when you see them. When it comes to doors, there is a slightly bigger difference as doors do come in a variety of colors and styles that impact the appearance of a home.

Modern doors are often black or more highly contrasted and feature hardware fashioned in more stunning and vibrant ways. We’ll give more examples below.

Benefits of Modern Windows and Doors

Modern windows and doors aren’t necessarily more beneficial than other windows and doors. But, one benefit of replacing your windows and doors is the added energy efficiency. Doors and windows are the #1 place that your home is likely lacking in energy efficiency. In order to ensure that your home is well insulated and that you’re not losing money throughout cooler and warmer months of the year, you’ll want to replace your windows with high-quality windows.

There’s nothing worse than feeling a cool draft right through your window on a cold winter day.

At DWELL44, we carry and partner with two different window providers. Lincoln Windows and H Windows – here’s a little more info on these companies and the benefits of each.

To round out this post, we thought the best thing to do would be to include some photos of homes with stunning modern windows and doors. 

Black Frame Windows

This is a trend that’s increasingly becoming more common and popular among homeowners. Black frame windows are becoming a focal point in modern homes. Just look at the character and beauty that it adds to this modern cabin.

Wood Windows Natural Wood vs. Aluminum Clad

Many times homeowners select to keep a natural wood frame for aesthetics vs. aluminum cladding. Wood used for the exterior of the window was more common in older homes, but it is coming back into style. While this requires more maintenance, it creates a modern design. The home below shows off wood-finished windows in its design.

Floor to Ceiling Windows

As windows have become more and more efficient, homeowners are feeling the need to have them placed throughout their home and in many cases, there’s a desire to make the windows larger as well. The example below shows how beautiful a home can look with floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s lots of natural light and great views of the yard all around.

More Black Grid and Different Sizes

Different size windows are extremely common in modern home buildings. While a home being somewhat symmetrical is important, there’s a lot of homeowners looking to break the mold a bit and offer a few different sizes of windows in different places. Ultimately the purpose of windows is to help make the outside not feel so outside and also to bring in lots of natural light.

Another benefit to the black grid windows is that they can be used in a wide variety of styles. While it is commonly used in modern applications, black grid windows can look stunning in industrial, modern farmhouse, and many more! These style windows are available in a multitude of sizes with differing sizes of panels to fully complement the style of your home.
