Consider the frames within frames
While changing the overall aperture size of a window is impractical, by changing the arrangement of window frames inside the opening can give a very different character from the outside.
Many postwar houses have large window openings "landscape" which can be inelegant. Replacing a single, large format rectangular window with three or four frames in portrait format in the same opening, as seen here, can completely change the visual effect.

steel you
popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the steel framed windows make a comeback. Compared to wood, aluminum or plastic, steel is by far the strongest framing material and can therefore work with much finer sections.
Unlike their predecessors, the steel windows are now available with double glazing and, far from being the best for insulation, are much better heat than they ever were. factory applied finishes mean rust is not the problem it once was, but be aware that steel windows are often a very expensive option.

Choose composite frames combined benefits
A choice that has become increasingly popular in recent years is composite windows ", which combine aluminum exterior with wood inside.

Go traditional with wood
wood is a wonderful and versatile material for the manufacture of window frames, but many people worry about the maintenance and longevity.
It is certainly true that cheaply made of softwood windows can carry these problems, but the technology came to the rescue with some new innovations.
laminating adhesive techniques are often used with great success and with good mill finishes can last for years. I know at least one company that now offers guarantees of 25 years on their painted wood frames.
The other new development is wonderful wood "modified" (as Accoya), which becomes incredibly stable and resistant to moisture and movement that usually cause maintenance problems.
