Ventilation plays a key factor in keeping your home’s indoor air quality fresh and temperatures comfortable for people inside. That said, some windows work better at ventilation compared to others. As the leading replacement window installation experts, we’re giving you a rundown on the best window options for ventilation.
Casement Windows
Casement windows have one or two panels that swing open or shut. They are among the most popular window options for those looking for a way to maximize airflow because they can open as wide as their frame size will allow them to. Casement windows work best for large rooms like the living room and dining room.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows may not be as big as casement windows, but they can fit almost anywhere because of their compact design. Double-hung window repair specialists also say that the sashes can slide to the middle, creating two openings that allow airflow in smaller rooms. If space is limited, you should definitely go for sliding windows!
Sliding Windows
Finding the middle ground between casement and double-hung windows, sliding windows can also have two openings that allow proper airflow. However, their design supports larger panels like casement windows, so they work great for providing ventilation in medium-sized rooms that only have space for one large window.
Bay Windows
Actually, a series of multiple smaller windows put together, bay windows have the biggest potential when it comes to providing ventilation. You can have all panels opened or just alternating panels to create multiple openings. You can complement bay windows with picture window installation to maximize natural lighting and the outdoor view.
