Choosing the Right Type of Window

If you’re looking to replace some of the windows in your home, you need to keep in mind that each room has its own needs. A privacy/obscure window would be more beneficial in a bathroom than a kitchen, for example. Keeping your home’s exterior architecture uniform doesn’t mean you should install the same type of window in all your rooms. Expert window and vinyl siding contractor Homecraft Inc. explains what you need to consider in each room of your home:

Kitchen

Since this is one of the rooms in your home that you and your family spend the most time in, it’s important that your kitchen should look visually appealing without sacrificing function and practicality. You can choose to enhance the focal point of the room by adding a single large window or a smaller combination of two to three windows over the sink so you’ll have more natural light plus a great view of the outdoors while doing the dishes.

Living Room

The right type of window can significantly change the overall appearance of your living room. Not only will it add more natural light, but also add more ventilation depending on the type of window you choose. That’s why it’s important to consider which windows will be most appropriate for your style and preference. For instance, if you have a table placed in front of a window, consider a casement window, as it can be operated with one hand from a crank at the bottom. You can work with your trusted window and siding contractor to figure out which are the best types for your living room.

Bedroom

Bedroom window styles can be mixed and matched to your bedding, carpet or furniture. Replacement windows can create natural light, ambiance and a view to wake up to every morning. Just keep in mind that local building codes usually have entry requirements for bedrooms, with specific size and height measurements of an opening in the event of a fire or other emergency.
