Our Favorite Window Combinations | Eloyd windows and doors
2025-06-03
If you've never investigated all the window options out there, you might not have realized just how many options there are. Not only are there endless combinations of window frame materials, styles, and colors, but there are also plenty of window combination options.
Creating a combination window for your home offers many benefits and usually delivers the best of both worlds.
Adding different types of window or door to a window design can improve aesthetics, but it also delivers better ventilation and energy efficiency, and in many situations, can make your home more usable and functional.
These are windows that are made up of different window styles and designs that are combined together in a hybrid option that offers the benefits of both types of windows. Not only are these windows beautiful and visually appealing, but they often solve problems that a single window style might not be able to, and they offer functionality that you might not find with a standalone window style.
1. Bay Window Combinations
Bay and bow windows are classic choices that are very popular in a variety of architectural styles.
Bay window combinations extend the versatility and functionality of a classic bay window, by including picture windows or various operable windows, allowing homeowners the look and feel of bay windows with the usability of those other types of window.
The main benefit of bay window combinations is that they incorporate the expansive views and increased space that bay windows offer with the usability of other types of windows.
2. Picture Window with Casement Windows
Picture windows are one of the very best ways to make the most of a glorious view. But we don't only choose windows for the vistas and panoramas we see through them.
Picture window combinations with casement windows above or alongside the large expanse of glass allow you to maximize views while still offering natural ventilation in the space.
3. Fixed Window with Double Hung Windows
Fixed windows are often more affordable, and if they are large, they can offer great views. They're also very easy to clean, because there's no moving parts involved. However, this type of window is not great for ventilation.
Adding double-hung windows to a fixed window gives you the best of both worlds. They're still relatively easy to clean, but they can also be opened and closed to ventilate a room, adjust the temperature, or enjoy a breeze.
4. Ribbon Windows
Ribbon windows are one of the newest types of window out there, and this sleek, modern horizontal style of window is perfect for many contemporary homes.
Combining ribbon windows with various kinds of functional windows gives you the modern style of this type of window with the ventilation and functionality of sliding, casement, or other types of windows.
5. Window and Door Combinations
The last kind of window combination we want to highlight is the many kinds of window and door combinations that are available.
Of course, doors allow access to outdoor spaces, but adding functional windows or even fixed windows can increase the versatility and style of any entryway in your home. Some of the most popular options for this kind of window and door combination are transoms or sidelights.
Conclusion
There are lots of great window options out there today, but you don't have to stick only to what you can order directly from the catalog.
If you need windows that offer a little more, it's entirely possible to create custom window combinations that give you the views, access, ventilation, and style you need to create the home of your dreams.
So, whether you're building a new home or replacing your windows, speak to a window expert, share your wish list, and discuss how a custom combination window package can give you everything you want from your windows.

SPRING CLEANING FOR YOUR ELOYD® DOOR SYSTEM
2025-04-23
For homes with Eloyd® doors, spring is open season. And with regular cleaning and maintenance, your Eloyd door system can fold, slide, or swing open beautifully this year and for many springs (and summers and falls) to come.
Here are the cleaning and maintenance steps we recommend for keeping your Eloyd doors looking great and working in optimal condition.
Clean and lubricate tracks and bearings
Remove surface contaminants by wiping visible track surfaces with a damp soft cloth and a mild detergent, then wiping dry with a clean cloth. Using a suitable applicator, spread a small amount of clear petroleum jelly or similar lubricant. Ensure that the carrier wheels pass through the lubricant so that it's distributed evenly along the track. Place additional lubricant around the bearings. In severe environments, apply a thin film of WD-40®. Always keep the bottom guide channel free from debris.
Take Care of Hangers, Pivots, Brackets, Handle Back Plates, and Hinges
Exposed surfaces should be wiped down with warm soapy water and a soft rag, and then rinsed clean before applying new surface protectants. A light spray application of WD-40® followed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to remove excess is recommended for all hangers, pivots, brackets, and hinges.
Be careful not to expose wood items to these compounds as they may cause staining. For an oil-rubbed bronze finish, care should be taken when cleaning or reapplying surface protectants.
What to do with Surface-Mounted Locking Mechanisms
Spray WD-40® to the sliding pin inside the drop bolt and to the lock cylinder (if applicable). There are access holes or slots on all drop bolts so that this can be completed without removing the locks from the doors.
Aluminum Coatings: Easy Cleaning and Regular Inspection
For systems with aluminum coatings, exposed surfaces should be cleaned with mild detergent soap and water. Any chips or scratches must be repaired immediately, and not left exposed to the elements.
Wood Components: Check for Exposure
All wood component parts and finishes must be inspected annually for damage resulting from exposure to the elements and repaired immediately if any issues are found.
Vinyl Surfaces — The Definition of Low Maintenance
Clean exposed surfaces with mild detergent soap and water — never harsh chemicals or acids.
Inspect and Clean Screens
Dust and debris can collect in the guide channels over time. Removal of this buildup is easy — and important to the screen’s smooth movement. While the screen is retracted, remove any debris with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle.
Dusty or coastal environments will require more regular cleaning. The screen mesh should be lightly dusted to maintain an unobstructed view and air flow. While the screen is extended, remove any build up with a vacuum cleaner that has a soft brush nozzle. Care should be taken not to tear or rip the mesh.
How often should you perform maintenance on your door system?
These procedures need to be carried out as often as necessary to prevent deterioration and to detect and address any issues in their earliest stages. At a minimum, however, we recommend that Eloyd door systems in general environments receive maintenance every six (6) months. If your door system is

BEYOND PATIOS: FIVE WAYS TO USE ELOYD DOORS AT HOME
2025-04-23
Eloyd® doors are renowned for creating Open Spaces that blend indoor living areas with cherished outdoor patios and decks, limitless sky, and abundant nature. But why stop there? These versatile door systems foster health-boosting and mood-enhancing indoor outdoor connections throughout your home. Here are five ways Eloyd doors can rejuvenate your favorite living spaces.
Home Office Retreat
Why not make your at-home work environment something to look forward to? Elevating your home office with Eloyd doors can boost your mood with natural daylighting and fresh air while you're working. Plus, you'll enjoy effortless access to outdoor relaxation when you need a mid-day break or some after-work downtime.
Tips: Install your doors in a way that maximizes natural light during work hours. Don't worry about incoming bugs or too much light; we offer screens and blinds for that. Create a small outdoor seating area with chairs that help you feel supported and relaxed.
Indoor Gym or Yoga Studio
Fresh air is essential for your well-being, especially during workouts or focused activities. Imagine the invigorating sensation of a gentle breeze as you work up a sweat or gently cool down. With a Eloyd door system, you not only welcome fresh air but also seamlessly connect your indoor space to the outside, enhancing both your visual and physical experience.
Tips: For optimal airflow during workouts, choose door systems with generous openings. And if privacy is a concern, install blackout curtains or a screen with a blind.
Tiny House Living
Tiny homes and ADUs (accessory dwelling units) are great for creating cozy personal space. Many designs are also able to incorporate door systems that open wide to the outside for inspired indoor outdoor living. Including a door system can be the best of both worlds: access to limitless fresh air and the beauty of the outdoors when you crave expansiveness, and a cozy, energy-efficient space (with a great view) when you want to cocoon.
Tip: Choose folding doors or sliding doors rather than inswing doors to save interior space. For true tiny house space optimization, extend the living room or kitchen into the outdoor area, creating a seamless and expansive feel.
