Maximizing Natural Light with the Right Windows and Doors

Natural light is an essential design element that lifts moods, enhances spaces and helps cut down energy costs. Here’s how you can make the most of this natural resource with proper window and door choices:

Choosing Windows

  1. Go BIG or Go Home: The larger the window the more light can get in. Simple as that.

  2. Placement: South-facing windows get the most sun and are best for light exposure.

  3. Quality Glass: Low-E coatings help manage heat while still letting in a lot of light. Don’t worry about temperature control but enjoy the sunshine.

  4. Window Styles: Casement windows, as opposed to double hung windows, let in more light. Windows that extend to the ceiling allow the most.

Choosing Doors

  1. Panels & Inserts: Consider a door that has a glass insert or elect for a sidelite panel with a glass installed.

  2. Transom Glass: If possible, adding a transom can be a fantastic way to light up your entrance way.
