How to Make Your Windows Look Great Without Hiding the View

 

Homeowners like you might ask if there’s a way to add some character to your windows, or more life to a room, without sacrificing your view of the outside. It might sound difficult. It can be achieved by minding certain parts of your windows. Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco, your replacement windows expert, shares some handy ways to achieve this.

Frames

Remember that you don’t necessarily need drapes, you can use your windows to frame something else, such as a mirror or two. If you have limited space in, say, your bathroom, then a large window can benefit you even more. Don’t worry about the wall on which to hang the mirror above the sink. A window above that sink, and a mirror flush on the window ensures airy, bright space all around the mirror.

It’s not just mirrors you can hang on windows themselves. If you have a small place and wall space is at a premium, consider larger replacement windows. Don’t worry about where to hang artwork or framed photos, use the windows themselves. It’s advisable to use frames that block UV rays from behind for your artwork or photos. Renewal by Andersen® windows come standard with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass and you can also go for the High-Performance™ SmartSun™ glass, which blocks out 95 percent of UV.

Built-in Shades

In a living space where you sometimes want a little less sunlight, you can get replacement windows with built-in shades that you can lower or raise as you please. We can customize your windows, so there’s no need to worry if they’ll fit your spaces.

Grilles

We understand when a customer is concerned about a large glass window. It can appear less exciting, or even too intimidating. Instead of shopping for drapes, consider requesting us to build you windows with creative grille patterns. Such patterns can break the monotony of plain glass. Along with our color choices, you can have the windows you want with frames, sashes, and grilles that fit the theme of every room.

There’s nothing wrong with hanging window treatments like drapes or roller blinds. If privacy, however, is not a problem where you are and you want to maximize your beautiful new windows, we suggest enjoying your windows bare.

Let us help you realize a future in which your home benefits from the pure, unadulterated beauty of great windows. Call Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco at (866) 609-5033, or fill out our contact form for a free estimate. We serve clients in San Francisco, CA, and nearby areas.
