How to Choose the Right Window Types for Your Home

Posted on July 5, 2020
right window type for your home

When you take a look around your home, you will notice that each room is different. Not only in terms of design and color scheme, but also the dimensions themselves. Each room faces a different direction, so that the lighting will vary in your home throughout the day depending on where your windows are installed.

This means that each room will have its own requirements when it comes to choosing windows. Installing the right type of windows for your rooms can greatly boost the overall well-being of your family. Here are some tips to help you choose the right design for every room.

Casement Windows

This design has proven popular for years and it continues to be a favourite amongst homeowners due to its versatility. Casement windows can be installed in any room. They are excellent for ventilation and they allow in plenty of natural light. Consider these windows for such rooms as bedrooms, living rooms and even kitchens, depending on your kitchen furniture and design.

Picture Windows

If you want windows that will allow natural light to enter the room but you do not wish for them to open, picture windows are the answer. These windows are fixed in place which makes them excellent for areas that could be accessed by children or toddlers. You can even pair them with awning windows, for example. Install an awning window above a picture window so that you can still enjoy proper ventilation without worrying about accidents.

Bay and Bow Windows

These are perfect for increasing the space in a room. When you add a bay or bow window, you can use this area to create your very own reading nook, board game space or even set the space aside for your piano.

These windows are extremely versatile in terms of style. For instance, sleek window coverings like shades will help you create a modern look. Alternatively, drapes will help you achieve a more of a cozy, country theme.

Single and Double Slider Windows

If you don’t have space for your windows to open, slider windows are an excellent choice. They are especially popular in kitchens where your worktops may not allow for the window to open or even in your dining room where seats might be placed close to some or all of the windows in the room. These windows are also great for upper levels since they are easy to remove for cleaning purposes. You will not need to ‘hang’ out the window just to clean every nook and cranny. Instead, simply remove the window, clean at your leisure and insert it when you are done.

Choosing the right style and size window for each room is not always easy since there are so many options.
