Since 1982, the National Kitchen and Bath Association has encouraged homeowners to kick of their holiday season planning in October. Last month, homeowners throughout New Jersey and New York marked the “official” start of the festive season by tackling home improvement projects designed to get their homes in shape for entertaining and to improve the function and beauty after all the guests go home and the New Year rolls in.
Whether you participated in the annual event, or weren’t even aware there is a whole month dedicated to these two vital rooms in your home, it’s not too late to make a grand statement with new replacement windows and patio doors.
Functionality & Replacement Window Styles for New Jersey & New York
Home decorators and design architects have certain standards they use when they are planning a kitchen makeover for their clients. For example, even if a customer really, really, really wants an island, it isn’t practical if there isn’t enough space to properly use it. Minimum clearance standards near a range allows for comfortable traffic patterns, ensures people don’t bump against an open oven to access lower storage on the island, appliance doors fully open, etc. When a homeowner doesn’t have room for an island, designers often provide alternatives like a peninsula or other options that don’t compromise safety or convenience.
Selecting the right replacement window styles for your New Jersey or New York home is similar to deciding whether an island or a peninsula will work better in your kitchen. You may really love the way casement windows look, but if there isn’t enough clearance you won’t be able to use them correctly and the windows may not be able to perform as designed.
Replacement windows are available in many styles to fit various settings, like kitchen and bathrooms. Here are a few examples of how different windows fit different settings.
