There are several options to consider when selecting the right windows for your custom home.
When constructing a custom home, you have the fantastic benefit of designing every aspect. From the paint to the door frames and floors to the ceilings, you have control over your home’s appearance. Windows are a significant part of design and can significantly impact curb appeal. There are several options to consider when selecting the right windows for your custom home.
Window Style
What window style do you want? The options include casement, single, bay, slider, fixed, and more. However, single windows are more common among homeowners. These are the window types where the bottom pane can be pushed up while the top pane remains in place. Additionally, awning, casement, and hopper windows swing open from one edge of the window, similar to a door.
Slider windows slide along a track like a closet; bay windows have large sills extending outward from the home, and fixed windows are decorative and inoperable instead of functional. You can use a combination of windows throughout your custom home to increase character. A particular window style can enhance a room’s whole look.
Floor to Ceiling Windows
For some homeowners, floor to ceiling windows seem luxurious and only fit for movie set pieces or mansions. In fact, you can take advantage of floor-to-ceiling windows if your home has a spectacular view. The room will feel bigger and brighter, and it can open up a small room with many dark elements.
Experiment with Your Ideas
Combining window types throughout your home typically involves personal preference, so don’t be afraid to experiment with your ideas. For example, a bay window can accompany other types of windows, even side-by-side. But a single window pane next to a casement might look slightly odd. Since fixed windows are mainly decorative, they should be placed with precision.
