Homeowners enter the market for replacement windows in West Richland, WA, for various reasons. For those who want more natural light in their home, here are the best window styles to get:

Double Hung Windows

A single double-hung window may not look like a great candidate for increasing light flow inside your home, but it is. The top-and-bottom design aids airflow and provides temperature control.

Installing a row of double-hung windows or a separate few in a room, even at standard sizes, improves your home’s access to natural light. And you don’t have to lose energy efficiency to achieve it.

Plus, the windows tilt inwards, so no matter the number of double-hung windows you install, they are just as easy to clean and maintain.

Casement Windows

Casement windows are perfect if you live in a scenic environment and want a window that blends the outdoors with the indoors. The side hinges that open outward allow an unobstructed view of the beautiful landscape.

They also have the added advantage of maximum flow of light indoors. Casement windows have narrow frames and wide panes of glass. Even when closed, they still let in more natural light than several other window styles.

Picture Windows

Got a dark hall in your home, or looking to add architectural flair to your home? Picture windows are an excellent option. They are fixed windows, so you can get them any size without losing energy efficiency.

Picture windows are excellent for large, open rooms like a kitchen or living room. They allow natural light to flow in and offer a clear, unobstructed view of the outdoors.

Plus, you can get creative with the shape and positioning. You install vertical or horizontal picture windows or blend them with other window styles.

Skylight Windows

Rather than illuminating with artificial light, you can install skylight windows in specific spaces for natural light during the day instead. They are installed on the roof, and although they are common in vacation homes, residential homes can enjoy them too.

Having one not only lights your home but also allows you to experience whatever’s happening outside from the safety of the indoors. You can watch the night sky, snowfall, or a brewing storm without stepping outside.

Bay Windows

Bay windows, by design, are a combination of three or more windows as a single unit. Hence, they offer plenty of room for natural light in a way other window styles do not.

Another advantage of choosing bay windows for more natural light is more indoor space. That’s because bay windows are set at an angle that extends beyond the wall, creating extra room inside.

Because of that, they are perfect for reading rooms or bedrooms where you can use the extra space for additional seating or to display house plants.

That makes it five, but there are more. Whatever your reasons are for considering new windows, be it natural light or improved ventilation, there are plenty of options to choose from, and we’re available to supply them.
