7 Ways to Add Natural Light to Your Home

This year so far has had more dark dreary days than sunny ones. Until March arrived, I do not believe we had the sun peak our more than two days in a row. Natural light is a mood enhancer and increases productivity.

If your home does not allow enough natural light to enter your home or if certain areas seem overly dark and dreary, why not consider one of the following ways to add natural light into your home. With a variety of natural light options available such as skylights, tunnel lights, picture, bow, bay or garden windows; why would any homeowner choose to stay in the dark?

7 Ways to Add Natural Light to Your Home:

1) Skylights: Skylights installation can dramatically add beauty and value to your home by filling your home with natural light and reducing your need for electricity

2) Tunnel Lights: Install a tube skylight like the Owens Corning Illuminator in a small, top story location that has no or little natural light

3) Sliding Glass Doors: Replace a set of windows with full sliding glass entryway doors

4) Egress Windows: Install 1 or more egress windows in your basement for more natural light

5) Bay, Bow or Garden Window: Using a bay, bow or garden window to highlight an area of your home adds natural light and makes the area seem larger and more inviting

6) Glass Doors: Replace Solid Entry or Hallway Doors with 15 Light or Glass Door

7) Picture Windows: Increase the amount of glass by using Replacement Picture Windows that Have More Glass Area and Narrower Frames

5 Window Replacements That Will Make You Thankful

Are your windows letting the outside elements into your home? Why not replace them with energy efficient, double pane windows which will greatly reduce your heating and cooling bills, while making your home’s interior more comfortable and cozy.

BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME WITH A BAY, BOW OR PICTURE WINDOW

Choosing the right windows for your home can be overwhelming given all the styles, materials, and features that are available. New windows are a major investment and should last upwards of 20 years, so doing a bit of research is a wise move.

Here are 5 Window Replacements That Will Make You Thankful This Holiday Season:

1) Casement windows (aka, “crank-out windows”) – When the house is full of people and the heat is pumping during the cold season, it can get too hot very quickly. A crank-out casement window is great to have on-hand to instantly get access to the crisp outside air… not to mention if you have a mishap in the kitchen and need to get the smell and smoke of burnt food out of the house quickly!

2) Garden windows – A garden window offers a nice bump-out shelf area for the talented chef to cool those delicious holiday pies (only with the proper cooling mat underneath of course!). They can also be a great place to feature your favorite holiday decor for everyone inside and outside to enjoy.

5 WARNING SIGNS YOU NEED NEW WINDOWS

3) Double-Hung windows – Most replacement windows nowadays are double-hung, unless of course you plan to enjoy specialty windows like the ones mentioned above…they are very easy to clean before your guests arrive! They can also make it a lot easier to get access to the exterior of your window for placing decor outside.

4) Insulated windows – They keep your house warm, save you money, and also keep the integrity of their shape better throughout their lifespan because they are not hollow frames.

5) Bay windows – The perfect cozy reading nook or perch for waiting for Santa’s arrival!

The Benefits of Adding a Bay, Bow or Garden Window to Your Home

After a long winter and a late spring, many homeowners may have noticed that their moods were a bit darker thanks to the limited natural light admitted into their home. This is the case for many homes that have too few or too small windows.

Dark homes with little natural light can affect inhabitant’s’ mood, as well as make the home seem smaller and somewhat lackluster. This is the perfect time of year to consider brightening up your home and your mood by installing a bay window or bow window.

New windows can transform you home and your mood. Bay or bow windows are one of the most beautiful features one can add to a home. Not only do they serve as a focal point, they deliver tons of natural light. A room instantly feels bigger with a bay window or bow window.

Another mood enhancement option for kitchens or sitting rooms is to install a garden window. A garden window can allow for year round herb garden, a way to show off a prized collection of plants and bring nature indoors.
