When you are moving forward with San Jose, CA window replacement, most of the windows you choose are probably going to be standard styles, shapes, and sizes. You’ll get casement windows, perhaps some picture windows, and maybe some single or double hung windows as well. But when you are working on the process, you might want to add something unique that stands out in your house as well. That could mean a unique window shape in a special area. Here are a few ideas that could help you move in that direction in just the right location:
Sidelight Windows
These windows are usually tall and narrow and are utilized to frame a door and let in extra light. Most people don’t put window treatments on these windows, but the windows themselves can be made with fogged or etched glass so people can’t really see in, but you can get the natural light you want for your entry way. They can make the entry look that much more impressive, from inside and out.
Awning Windows
Awning windows have hinges at the top and can be left open, even during a rain, without letting water into the house. They are wonderful windows to place on top of doorways or even above or below other sets of windows. Since they are long and narrow, they have a unique look about them.
Octagon Or Circular Windows
Windows of unique shapes, like octagons or circles, can really stand out. People sometimes place these windows in a hallway, above or beside a door, or in another location that will show from the front of the house so their style will impact the home’s architecture and curb appeal. These windows don’t usually open, but they can add style and bring in natural light at the same time.
Bow Or Bay Windows
Bay and bow windows are the most stunning window grouping you can add to your home. They actually give you more space within your home and a greater architectural interest from the outside. They bring in more light and you can get a view from more than just one angle since they bow out from the house and give you a greater periphery.
