Natural Light and Your Windows

Humans thrive on natural light. In fact, natural light increases energy and metabolism, among its many benefits. That is why it’s advisable that you allow plenty of natural light to your home.

As the trusted provider of quality Fairfield windows, Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester shares the advantages that natural lighting can offer.

Why Natural Light is Better

According to the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Energy Information Administration, electric lighting consumes more than 15 percent of all electricity generated in the United States. This makes natural light a better option compared with artificial lighting.

Moreover, having plenty of natural lighting in your home can provide you with a visually and thermally comfortable space, while also reducing lighting costs. Your rooms will have a more regal feel with just the right amount of sunlight coming in through your windows.

Great Window Choices

You can still benefit from natural light while at home. Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester recommends drawing healthier light into your rooms through these window options:

• Casement Windows — their large glass surface provides maximum viewing area and better access to natural lighting.

• Awning Windows — these windows provide both added ventilation and expansive views. With their single pane of glass, these will provide increased natural lighting to your rooms.

• Double-Hung Windows — a classic favorite for homes across the U.S., double-hung windows allow both sashes to open, leading to increased ventilation and natural light.

• Picture Windows — for improved natural lighting in your home, picture windows in Fairfield, CT, are the ideal option. With their wide expanses of glass that can stretch from floor to ceiling, these windows will ensure your room is awash with natural light.
