5 Window Styles That Can Make Your Home Brighter

Natural lighting can make your home seem fresher and revitalized as well as more inviting. The sunlight is also a good source of Vitamin D, which is good for you and your family’s health, especially for the kids. Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati discusses why you should consider getting a window replacement in Cincinnati today, and which window styles will bring more light into your home:

Bay windows are typically large and project outward. They often consist of a central window and two smaller windows on the side, and thus offer more ventilation. Aside from providing panoramic views, the side panels on bay windows allow more light in through several directions even as the sun changes its position during the course of the day.

 

 

 

Bow windows are made up of four windows, sometimes more, depending on the home’s design. This forms a slight curve that can arch outward. Because bow windows are similar to bay windows, they also allow more natural light to come into your house. Ask one of our consultants to design your bow windows with fewer panels to maximize the benefits of natural lighting.

 

 

Double-hung windows are the most common type of window available today. They slide up and down and are easy to operate. Double-hung windows also provide a wide, picturesque view of the outside and, with the wide variety of styles and sizes available, are versatile enough to accommodate air conditioner units or insect screens. With Renewal by Andersen of Cincinnati’s easy tilt-in feature, double hung windows are a breeze to wash.

 

 

 

 

Picture windows are made of large panes of fixed glass, providing an unobstructed view of the outside. These windows offer adequate lighting because they are big enough to let light—as well as ambient heat from the sun—into your home during the winter. Although being fixed in place means that picture windows can offer no ventilation.

 

 

 

 

Specialty windows can be made for homeowners who want to customize their home’s design. Specialty windows are available in a wide array of shapes, and they can be combined with other window styles for maximum effect. You can ask your Renewal by Andersen consultant to design one that allows you to put a more personal imprint on your house.
