Window replacement in Barrington, IL can bring more natural light into a home. Installation contractors can replace flat windows with those that extend from the wall’s exterior. They also may be able to replace a small window with a larger version of the wall’s structure to support this.
The Kitchen
In the kitchen, for example, homes typically have a window over the sink if that fixture is on an exterior wall. Window replacement in Barrington, IL could involve replacing a flat design with a garden window.
About Garden Windows
Garden windows are similar to bay models since they have three glass panes. However, the panes are set at 90-degree angles, whereas the angles of bay products are smaller. Garden windows also have slanted glass on top. Like a bay window, the middle pane is fixed and the two side panes open for ventilation. The intention of this design is for a miniature greenhouse where people can grow herbs and other small plants.
Additional Possibilities
If the sink is on an interior wall, glass elsewhere in the kitchen might be replaced with an extended design. Depending on the wall structure and owner’s preferences, this could be a garden, bay, or bow version. All of these designs create more open space and bring in additional natural light. Bow windows differ from the other two by having at least four panes and a more curved appearance.
