Light or Sight: A Replacement Window Guide

windows for your home

Not all windows are created—or are priced—equal, and one way to really make the most out of them is figuring out what kind of windows you actually need. This can change based on the kind of room you’re installing a window in, as well as what your preference is. If you’re careful about identifying what the right replacement windows are for you, you can get a whole lot of savings.

Prioritizing Sight

If you’re lucky enough to have a great view or simply love to show off to the neighbors, odds are good that you’ll go for wide picture windows—or even classic bays and bows—and go minimal with customization. These windows prioritize a great view more than anything else and are geared toward personalities who aren’t too shy or introverted.

Another advantage these kinds of windows have is that they actually enhance the interior of the rooms they are used in—commonly living areas or larger common rooms—making them perfect for those who love hosting parties and gatherings.

Prioritizing Light

If you’re wondering how there can be a differentiation between sight and light priorities, it actually boils down to personality. We take those who prioritize light for those who want brighter interiors without too much emphasis on views either way. You can, for instance, install slimmer double-hung or casement windows in your bedroom to keep things private yet bright. If you aren’t the type to party, they can make cozy additions to a quiet living room.

More than just matching a homeowner’s personality, smaller windows also make more sense in spaces where natural lighting is a priority, such as your pantries or closets.
