Fancy curtains, blinds, and other window treatments are great ways to spruce up your home. The problem is that sometimes, they can get in the way of already beautiful windows. After all, many newer units these days have been built to dazzle on their own.
Are you planning to improve your interiors? Here’s how to get replacement windows that can impress your guests without the need for treatments:
Choose Window Frames That Stand Out
Sashes and framing are the most conspicuous components of a window unit. You need to choose the right material, color, and design to make them stand out from the rest of your interior space.
Wood frames are a popular choice. They offer that timeless elegance that does wonders for classically styled homes. If you’re leaning toward this option, Infinity Windows has the best-crafted wood-frame units in the business. Get them in darker colors to complement light-hued walls. They’ll frame outdoor views nicely like artwork on a painter’s canvas.
Fiberglass as a framing material produces a stunning unit that doesn’t need curtains or drapes. Marvin Windows and Doors, for example, uses pultruded fiberglass for their Integrity and Infinity products. These ENERGY STAR®-rated windows offer superb protection and look just as sophisticated as natural wood does.
You can also have frames made from top-grade vinyl. Like wood and fiberglass, it can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes. Sunrise Windows makes vinyl-frame units that come in stylish colors that can readily complement your home. These modern beauties can look great unadorned in contemporary homes.
Choose Low-E Window Glass
When picking out replacement windows, pay attention to the glass package as well. At face value, you might think that all window glass look the same. If you look more closely, though, some are actually thicker and clearer than others. How much light you let into your interiors depends heavily on these two features.
Some glass options feature low-emissivity coating. You want your units to have it so you can get a good view of the outside and optimal amounts of light without sacrificing insulation. If your windows have low-E glass, you won’t need to put up curtains or shades just to keep indoor temperature at comfortable levels.
You’ll never need to cover up when you pick the right frame and glass, and NEXT Door & Window can help you make the best choice. Even unadorned, every window on our catalog can impress your guests and let the beauty of your interiors stand out. Contact us to learn more about the units we offer.
