Choosing The Perfect Windows For Your New Home

Windows are vital parts of a house. They determine how much sunlight and the breeze flow inside your home. The size and type of windows you plan to have will affect your privacy — how much people from the outside can see inside your home.

Types of Windows

Awning

One of the common types of windows installed in most homes. The awning opens partially horizontally, using a crank handle, to let the breeze in. It is a safe design as it does not open all the way through.

Casement

Another popular window type, the casement also has a crank handle but opens vertically. The casement allows more air to flow inside the house because you can open it all the way through.

Sliding

Made of glass panels that glide horizontally or vertically, sliding windows are space-savers. With some configurations that come with solid aluminum, sliding windows allow more air to flow into your home without taking up much space when opened.

Bi-fold

This type of window enables more air and sunlight to flow through your home as it creates an extended opening without taking up much space.

Why Window Types Matter

Why do you need to pay attention to the kind of windows for your new house?


Knowing which type of window to install in your dream home matters because of the following reasons:

You and your loved one's safety

The main concern is when you have little ones who are of the adventurous kind and have a penchant for climbing. For this reason, you must select the type of windows that will protect your tiny humans from falling out.

Ease of use and maintenance

Windows should be easy for everyone at home to open and shut. Choose the type of windows that are relatively easy for you to clean without the need to hire a professional cleaning service each time.

Light and wind flow

Your preferred window type must enable ample natural light and breeze to flow into your house for added energy efficiency and proper ventilation.

Climate or prevailing weather conditions

Depending on your location, your window type must be able to withstand the changing seasons and usual weather conditions.
