In most situations the trend for windows is to change from dark to lighter colored trims, and to provide a new energy-efficient structure with double panes and tighter seals. Windows that are opened by sliding the bottom half up, are commonly replacing windows that are opened outward using a lever. Windows can also provide natural light when added to doors and entryways, or to spans of windowless exterior walls, such as in a garage.
