Best Window Styles to Maximize the Outdoor View

Windows are important architectural features to bring the outdoor scenery indoors. If you choose the right products, you can frame wonderful views to add more life and interest to your interior design.

Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming shares the best kinds of units to consider for your window replacement project:

Picture

Picture windows are your safest bet to capture the panoramas surrounding your home. They can easily become the focal point of any room due to their large design. Apart from taking snapshots of expansive views, picture windows have great daylighting potential and create the illusion of space. Although they don’t open, you can combine them with operating windows, especially sliders, to hit your other home improvement goals.

Bay

As a projecting unit with three panels, the bay window is generally wide enough to frame much of the landscape it faces, including the peripheries. The best part is, it can mesh with any architectural style. It may be quintessentially Victorian, but other traditional home designs as well as contemporary ones borrow it for its utility. Aesthetically versatile, it’s available with four projections to replace an old picture window.

Bow

Much like the bay, the bow is a projection window with extra broad glass area. Its only advantage over the bay window is that it’s slightly larger because it can consist of up to six panels. By making all of its sub-windows operable you can take pleasure from a sweeping perspective of the outside world with ventilation opportunities when desired.

Sliding

Sliders are short, but they’re always wide. They’re perfect for small rooms with a low ceiling. In many cases, installing a single sliding window would suffice to capitalize on the splendor of Nature without giving up a lot of wall space. In turn, you can still spruce up your interior and enjoy top-to-bottom ventilation.

Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming products are designed to capture large and vibrant views. Our patented Fibrex® material is so strong that we can afford to use narrow framing to provide more glass area without sacrificing stability. Our glass options have excellent ratings, allowing a lot of sunshine while blocking most of the infrared and ultraviolet (UV) rays.
