The primary functions of windows include the entrance of natural light, protection from the elements and proper ventilation throughout your home. However, there are window types that work especially well when installed in specific rooms. Today’s article from your preferred replacement windows contractor, Renewal by Andersen® of British Columbia, explains different window types and which rooms you can install them in to maximize their benefits.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are stylistically versatile and are the perfect windows for busy areas such as the kitchen. They can be easily opened should you need to air out any lingering cooking smells. They’re also operable even if you only have one hand free! Just make sure that the cranks are functional and the seals are airtight, so ideal indoor temperatures are maintained when closed.
Installing casement windows in your home office is the perfect way to allow natural light and a fresh breeze in, especially when you need to take a break from work. Consult your window company when choosing the right casement window material to match your home’s interior.
Picture Windows
The living room is usually one of the biggest rooms in a house. It makes sense to install a large window in this space to allow natural light to stream in year-round. Choose an energy-efficient glass that can retain interior heat with still allowing high visibility. Adorn your picture windows with curtains that you can draw closed whenever you need privacy or when natural light is too bright for your liking.
Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are perfect for both traditional and modern homes. They are best installed in areas that tend to get crowded, such as the dining room. Since double hung windows slide rather than swinging outward, they work well in areas that face walkways, patios and other locations with frequent foot traffic.
