Daylighting is a good way to improve the energy efficiency of your home. If you can use natural light wisely, you won’t need to resort to using artificial lighting for a couple of hours per day. And if you position your windows in the right direction, you won’t have to deal with glare or energy loss.
Before you give the go signal for that window replacement project, however, consider the window styles that fit the directions of your home:
Position this window type in the south-facing area of your home, which receives plenty of winter sun but little direct sunlight during summer months. You will need the shade to avoid glare, which makes awning windows the most suitable window type for this part.
Any replacement window can fit this face because it receives even, natural light and does not deal with too much glare. There’s also no unwanted summer heat gain even if your curtains are gathered and your windows are not tinted. This is a good position for picture windows, letting homeowners and guests marvel at the outside view without hurting their eyes from the glare.
Your bay window placement in this direction also allows you to enjoy reading in the afternoon without having to switch on a reading lamp. You may also use sliding windows in this area.
These parts may cause glare and admit too much heat, which does the opposite of helping you save energy and money. Rather than positioning big windows in this area, you can have decorative windows instead. We offer specialty windows that come in any shape. Choose the one that complements the design of your home and position them in a higher part to avoid direct glare.
Your choice of window style should match the place where it will be installed. We offer everything you might possibly need, from a sliding window to awning windows. All you have to do is call Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming at (307) 472-2199 so we can talk about the installation process. We serve Casper, Laramie, and other parts of Wyoming.
