You will have to decide between vinyl replacement windows or the aluminum kind. There are also different types of designs. A casement design opens sideways with a crank. A double hung window has two panels that pass each other up and down. Bay windows stick out from the building. You would need to consider how you use them and the layout of your rooms in choosing your design.
