Windows play a major role in the design of your home. They enhance your home’s appearance and provide comfort and security. To help you choose the right type of window for each room in your house, read this article from Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania.
Family Room
Glare from the windows can make it uncomfortable to watch TV in the family room, so keep this in mind when selecting replacement windows for this area. Some windows are better than others at minimizing glare. Alternatively, if you like the idea of a beautiful outdoor view, consider installing expansive picture windows here.
Living Room
The living room is a perfect place to entertain guests and friends because of its size. Thus, you may want to add a big window, especially if there’s a great view of the outdoors. A large, south-facing window can provide bright, natural light.
Kitchen
For your kitchen, casement windows are the best choice as they are easy to operate over a sink or counter. Since your window and cabinets compete for wall space in kitchens, you might want to add a walk-in pantry for storage and install a large window over the counters.
Bedroom
Consider factors like privacy and ambiance when selecting windows for the bedroom. You should also take note of building code requirements. If your bedroom is on the second floor and you don’t have a back staircase, your window needs to be large enough for egress.
Bathroom
When it comes to your bathroom, privacy is key. Thus, you can choose between a transom window, skylight or glass block to provide ambient light while retaining your privacy. You should also consider an operable window instead of relying solely on a fan to maintain proper ventilation in your bathroom.
