Things to Consider When Choosing Windows for a Home Addition

Windows improve your home’s appeal, comfort and energy efficiency. They define your interior and exterior design. Your new windows should complement your existing ones for a harmonious look. 

Layout

Take note of the size of the room. As much as possible, match the size, height and spacing of the windows in the original structure or front of the house. You can also make a wall of windows along the rear of the exterior for a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Match your new windows with the rest of your home through their proportion, molding or divided light patterns. 

Efficiency

Single-pane windows are common in old homes, and most contractors today don’t suggest installing them. Choose windows with double-pane glass, insulating argon gas between the panes and low-emissivity coating. These windows are energy-efficient and prevent drafts, helping you get savings on heating and cooling costs. At BSR, we offer high-quality windows to fit all home styles, sizes and your budget. Aside from that, we also offer exterior services like roof repair, door replacement and gutter installation. 

Appearance

Match your new windows’ exterior and interior window trim with the existing ones in your house. Use the same material as your old windows, and request a similar divided light pattern. 

Maintenance

You want to choose windows that are easy to clean and maintain. Modern windows tilt so you can easily clean both sides of the glass from indoors. Opt for windows that are appealing and have an easy-to-use tilting mechanism.
