The living room is the centerpiece of your home’s interior. It is an area of busy activity where you receive guests and spend time with family and friends. When designing the space, don’t forget about the windows. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when replacing your living room windows:
Window Size
Larger windows can enhance the space by providing wide, uninterrupted views of the outdoors, bringing the room’s aesthetics to a whole new level. They also let in more sunlight, making your living room look airier and more spacious. This can also reduce your need for artificial lighting, helping you reduce your energy consumption.
Maintenance Requirements
The living room sees heavy foot traffic, which is why it makes sense to invest in replacement windows that don’t require extensive maintenance. Dust accumulating in the area will eventually find its way into your windows. Fortunately, many windows styles available today are both visually appealing and easy to clean. Double-hung windows from Renewal by Andersen®, for example, have a tilt-in feature that makes them a snap to clean both inside and out.
Energy Efficiency
Investing in high-quality windows for your living room can help improve your home’s energy efficiency. With features like argon gas fills in between two to three glass panes, you can expect your living room to remain comfortable without too much burden on your HVAC system. At Renewal by Andersen of Cape Cod, we recommend energy-efficient windows in various styles, including casement, double-hung, sliding and bay windows. They provide an airtight seal when closed, preventing outdoor air from leaking indoors.
