Choosing the right window style ensures fresh air properly circulates throughout your living space, keeping your home comfortable and healthy. In this article, we explore the best window styles to increase ventilation in your humble abode.
Double-Hung Windows
These windows are popular for increasing ventilation due to their classic design and dual functionality. Opening both sashes allows for optimal air circulation, creating a balanced cross-ventilation that keeps the space cool and breezy. Double-hung windows are ideal for bedrooms and living areas.
Casement Windows
Casements are an excellent choice for a window replacement project. They offer maximum ventilation as they are hinged on one side and can be swung open like a door. They also have the unique ability to catch and direct outdoor breezes into the home, making them ideal for spaces where natural ventilation is a priority.
Sliding Windows
Sliders are ideal for hard-to-reach areas or rooms with limited space. And due to their ease of use, they are also the preferred window type to make spaces accessible. Sliding windows glide horizontally on a track and provide a large opening for fresh air to circulate.
Bay Windows
Composed of at least three window units, bay windows provide great cross-ventilation and style. Opening multiple windows at once allows maximum airflow into the room. Consider installing bay windows for an elegant solution to your ventilation needs.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are ideal for bathrooms, laundry rooms and other spaces that are often damp. They allow air to flow in while keeping rain and moisture out. These windows are hinged at the top and open outward.
