what kind of window is the best choice for a kitchen?

Question

i am renovating a 10 x 15 kitchen with a 6'wide old single-pane window toward my back yard. i will have a EIK table or island countertop in front of the window. what kind of window (casement, double hung, awning, hopper, etc) can you recommend to replace the existing one?

Answer 1

Any kind that is light and easy to open incase you burn something and the room fills with smoke.

Also think about what matches the window dressings........

Answer 2

I would get one that has at least two pull-in windows and possibly the rest solid.Maybe the bottom 3 windows open in( top pulls down in) and the rest solid. A window this size with triple pane top of the line, I would expect could cost 600.00 to 1,000. installed. Get vinyl clad. The pull-ins allow easy cleaning. There are so many to choose from including custom, it is really tough to say. Gotta make it fit the hole and the budget.
