A Basic Guide to Matching Windows and Rooms

If you want to get the most out of your new windows, you have to make sure they match with the room they’re installed in. After all, when the two are consistent with each other, they can make a notable difference to the look and functionality of your home. But how exactly do you get started? One of the leading home exterior remodeling companies in the area, Triangle Home Exteriors, shares some handy tips. 

• Choose bigger windows for the living room. Since the living room is typically the largest area inside your home, you can get away with picking larger windows for it. This only makes sense, however, if the room actually overlooks a pretty view. If it’s just the side of your neighbor’s home, or a sidewalk lined with cars, you might want to reconsider. Does your living room connect with the deck or patio? Then installing larger windows can be a good idea. They’ll help create a seamless connection between your interior and outdoor living spaces, giving your home an airier, more open feel.

• Pick easy-to-operate windows in your kitchen. This is especially important if the windows are installed over the sink or counters. Casements and sliding windows are an excellent option because opening and closing them take minimal effort. They are also space-savers. In kitchens where wall space is often at a premium because of the cabinetry, having a window that can fit snugly into one corner is incredibly useful. You should consult a trusted window and roof replacement expert like Triangle Home Exteriors. Our skilled and experienced team will make sure your choice of windows are incorporated effectively (and beautifully) into your kitchen.

• Get bathroom windows that can provide good natural ventilation. Your bathroom generates a significant amount of indoor moisture, which encourages the growth of mold and mildew. For this reason, choose windows (such as double hung and casements) that can increase your access to natural ventilation. By allowing warm and moisture-laden air to escape outside, you can keep your bathroom mold-free and smelling fresh. Of course, you’ll still need to take privacy into account. Have the windows installed higher up the wall, almost close to the ceiling. This way, they can still direct fresh, cooling breezes into the bathroom without compromising your privacy.
