Many of our customers come to Custom Exchange looking for replacement windows that will make their Fremont homes more energy efficient. They want new windows that will help keep the heat out in the summer and keep the warmth in during the winter months. While energy-efficient windows are definitely our specialty, replacement windows can also address other areas that could use improvement in your Fremont home—specifically air flow and natural light.
To address these issues, the line and styles of windows you select are key!
Improving Air Flow in Your Fremont Home with the Right Replacement Windows
If you love the idea of throwing open your windows on a lovely warm day to let in some fresh air, you want to select windows that allow for the maximum amount of air flow. If you currently have inoperable windows anywhere in your home, such as picture windows, they can be replaced with any type of window with an operable sash, and it will be an improvement.
However, some operable windows are better than others at letting in fresh air. Casement windows are among the best. Casement windows open outward on side hinges, similar to a door. It is one of the only types of windows that is fully operable, meaning, there is no fixed sash—the entire window opens up!
Three-lite sliders are another great option for improving air flow. These types of windows are great for replacing large, horizontally oriented picture windows. They contain three distinct panels of glass. The center one is fixed, but the outer two slide toward the center panel, allowing in fresh air from both sides.
To replace a vertically oriented window, a double hung window is a great choice. In a double hung window, both the upper and lower sashes in the window are operable. When both are opened, you can get ventilation from the top and bottom portions of the window.
Want More Natural Light in Your Fremont Home? Try These Replacement Windows
If you love the idea of adding natural light to the inside of your home, the first thing you want to do is select windows with a slim frame profile. The DaylightMax line of windows from Simonton is a great option here. Their streamlined design maximizes your viewing area and allows in more natural light than the average replacement windows sold in Fremont.
Window style selection can also contribute to a naturally brighter home. Stay away from windows that are divided into two or more panels, such as sliders and single or double hung windows. Instead, opt for picture windows, casement windows, and awning windows, which have only a single glass panel.
Windows that extend out from the house, such as garden windows, bay windows, and bow windows, can also contribute more natural light to a home.
