Window Styles for Moisture-Prone Areas at Home

Proper ventilation is key to maintaining a healthy home environment. Moisture build-up in the home can cause significant damage and can even pose a health risk to you and your family, so it’s important to prevent it.

Fortunately, investing in the right windows can easily solve this problem. Renewal by Andersen® of Central PA shares the different window styles that help keep your home moisture-free:

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows feature two operable sashes that work to provide ample ventilation, make these windows an excellent choice for high-moisture areas. The bottom sash lets in cool outdoor air, while the upper sash lets the moisture and stale air out. By regulating the temperature in a room, you can avoid moisture build-up.

Casement Windows

Bigger rooms require more ventilation, and casement windows can address this need perfectly. You can install multiple casement windows alongside each other, significantly increasing the amount of ventilation in a room. Consider filling the top part of a wall with a line of casement windows for added appeal and natural lighting.

Bay Windows

Bay windows with operable side windows are also excellent at reducing moisture in the home. This arrangement creates the same effect as a double-hung unit, with the bonus of increased usable space. You can install a cozy seat by the window or a cabinet for extra storage.

All our windows are built with quality Fibrex® frames that offer excellent durability, beauty, and water resistance. Regardless of the window style you choose, you can be assured that our replacement windows will protect your home against the risk of water damage.
