When homeowners are having their windows replaced, most homeowners think that it’s an incredibly simple task. Just pick a window, hire a contractor, get them to install it and they’re done. In an ideal world, window replacement projects would be this simple. However, according to window replacement companies, installing new windows in each room around your home is a bit more complicated than that. In fact, if you want to maintain your home’s interior and exterior appeal, experts say that you need to choose the best window for every room in your home.
Here’s how you can do so:
Bathroom
When it comes to your bathroom, privacy is a must and an important thing that your windows must provide. However, you’ll also want an ample amount of natural light to enter the bathroom. That way, it’ll be adequately lit and won’t feel so small and cramped. As such, it’s highly recommended that you choose obscure glass options like glass blocks for your window. That way, you can earn privacy and natural light at the same time. If this isn’t an option, meanwhile, or you simply want a window that can also ventilate and withstand the daily moisture produced by your showers, you can also opt for vinyl windows that are covered with thin curtains.
Living Room
On the other hand, window installation companies say that picking the right window for your living room can be a bit trickier as you also need to consider your furniture placement. For instance, if your table is in front of a window, casement windows are your best bet because you can open and close them with a crank. Other than that, you also need to know where the sun will hit before you place your windows. That way, you can maximize the amount of natural light that enters your home and reduce your reliance on your artificial lighting, which in turn can help you save a significant amount on your monthly bills.
Kitchen
You spend a lot of your time in your kitchen with your family, either by doing work, preparing meals, eating, or helping your children with their homework. Therefore, you’ll want it to look functional and good-looking. One way you can do so is by enhancing the focal point of your room, which is usually the sink, with large or combination windows in sets of two or three. When it comes to window styles, horizontal sliding windows are your best bet as you can easily slide them open to ventilate your kitchen.
