Your window is your view of the world – make it a beautiful one! Think about the possibilities whether you are building a new home or replacing your existing windows. Here are 5 things to consider.
Your window on the world may be in your living room or in your bedroom. It’s your connection to the big, beautiful world outside so what can you do to enjoy the view from your window.
One Large Window? You may have small windows grouped together or, more commonly, a window that is divided with a sliding section or roll-out sections. You can turn it into a picture window and give yourself a beautiful, clear view. However, some rooms like your bedrooms and kitchen must have a window with a section that opens to offer a way out in an emergency.
Bring The Outdoors Inside. It’s a trick architects know. If you put a window on two or, even, three walls you are opening up your room so the beautiful outdoors is right there. Talk to a licensed contractor to see if you can add a window to a room, but remember it will make placing furniture a bit more complicated.
Be Private. There are places in your home where you don’t want a view. The bathroom windows may be the first that come to your mind but the sidelight windows by your front door may be another place you’d rather someone couldn’t look in. Talk to your window replacement company and you’ll find exciting options from different patterns and designs on privacy windows to stained glass.
Window Placement. If you’re building new, adding on or simply remodeling a room in your home, give window placement some real thought. Walk around the outside of the room. Is there a particularly pretty group of plants? A view of the mountains? If you can, put a window in a place where it frames a view you love. Also, you can place a window higher in a manner that still gives you a great view but limits the view from the outside in.
Sliding Glass Doors Are An Opportunity. A sliding glass door is, well, a sliding glass door. It has that frame right down the middle. Consider a change. You can configure French Doors and sidelights to give you a view that is less obstructed and a look that is much more current and desirable.
If you’re considering upgrading or changing your windows, be sure to involved a licensed window replacement firm. They can give you so many beautiful choices and they’ll help you choose windows that are more energy efficient. You can have a better view – and a lower utility bill! That’s a big win-win!
