One of the most practical uses of windows is capturing views. When designed thoughtfully, they can create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas, making your rooms feel larger and closer to nature. Moreover, they can provide surveillance and daylight.

To frame the best perspectives of the outside world, Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta recommends these window replacement tips:

  1. Think About OrientationFirst and foremost, position your windows towards views that are worth looking at. When all you can see is a tight cul-de-sac, placing large glass units won’t enrich your interior design that much. A good rule of thumb is to pick attractive outdoor features to highlight. This way, your windows will draw the eye to visually pleasing spots and hide less appealing areas.
  2. Go UpAny experienced window replacement contractor would tell you that the view is always better the higher you go. If you want to use oversized windows to capitalize on wonderful panoramas, install them in second-floor rooms. Even if you live in an urban environment, you’ll get to enjoy scenic glimpses of the outside world.
  3. Minimize SashesWhen it comes to window design, keep the sashes to a minimum. Sashes are natural obstructions to the glass, breaking the view into small pieces. Picture windows comprise just one expansive sheet of glass to take unbroken snapshots of the surrounding landscapes.
  4. Use No GrillesIf you must use grilles to keep your home true to its character, install only replacement windows in the façade. Their appearance doesn’t need to be in sync with the rest of your home to achieve architectural integrity. For windows away from street view, you can get away with having grille-less glass units to maximize the scenery.
