    What’s So Great About Picture Windows?

    If you’re looking for ways to brighten up your space, make your home more energy-efficient, and give the exterior of your Dayton home a facelift, a picture window may be the perfect solution for you. These simple windows make a clean and bold statement in any home and allow you to enjoy a beautiful view of the great outdoors with more window space. Here are some of the best reasons to choose a picture window for your home:

    1. Bring in More Light

    A picture window is typically any square or rectangular window that is stationary and features one large piece of glass, rather than multiple sashes. Due to the fact that these windows do not open, there is no need for complex framing and rails that cut into your viewable area. Instead, the glass goes all the way to your walls to create a seamless picture. You can bring in more natural light and see more of your yard without all the obstructions.

    2. Create a Focal Point

    Many people use picture windows in their Dayton homes to create a decorative focal point in a living room or other open space. Picture windows are often placed at the center of a wall and surrounded by casement windows or other specialty windows that do open. This allows you to achieve more visibility while also adding some ventilation options at the same time. For instance, a bay window typically has a large picture window in the center with two double-hung or casement windows at the sides.

    3. Energy Efficiency

    Due to the fact that picture windows are completely sealed, they offer some additional energy efficient properties. There are no brushes or seals that must be kept in order to keep heat from transferring. In addition, picture windows are treated for Low-E and insulated with a gas mixture between the panes to provide even more cost-savings in the long run. If there are any windows in your home that are difficult to reach or impractical to open, consider switching to a picture window instead.

    These are just three reasons that picture windows are making a big comeback. Renewal by Andersen offers a range of custom picture window styles and designs that you will love. You can add decorative grilles and other elements to make your picture window fit the theme of your home. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.
