Windows can do more than enhance the beauty and comfort of your home. The right window style and location can also bring plenty of sunshine indoors. You will save on energy costs when you don’t have to depend as much on artificial lighting.
Read on to discover how you can maximize daylighting through your windows.
What Is Daylighting?
Daylighting is when you utilize natural light to illuminate your indoor spaces. Aside from lighting up your home, natural light can benefit your well-being. Healthy sunlight exposure can improve your mood, focus and productivity. It can also help you sleep better by regulating your circadian rhythm.
How Can You Maximize Daylighting Through Windows?
Careful Window Selection and Placement
Windows play a vital role in maximizing daylighting in your home. However, sunlight can also heat your living space, which can be an issue during summer. Fortunately, you can naturally light up rooms without making them uncomfortably warm by choosing the appropriate window styles and locations.
Replace Outdated or Damaged Windows
Do you have outdated windows in your home? If so, replacing them with energy-efficient ones can brighten up your space without compromising your comfort. Be sure to look for replacement windows with energy-efficient features, such as multipane glass, low-emissivity coatings and insulative frames.
At Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania, we install energy-efficient windows featuring our unique Fibrex® material. This material is so strong that it can be made into thinner frames. Windows with narrower frames have more expansive glass areas, bringing more natural light and unobstructed outdoor views.
