Large picture windows have always been an integral part of homes since the advent of interior design some time in the eighteenth century. While these were primarily used to display portraits and still life paintings, their beauty is now sought after for more contemporary decorating schemes. These large picture windows can often be found in the heart of big cities along with high-rise apartment buildings and condominiums. Larger picture windows tend to use solid wood, while tilt-down versions can be found in UPVC or polycarbonate frames, making them highly customizable. The range of sizes available includes bay and picture window shapes, as well as louvered versions.

Large picture windows provide great views for any home or office. They also provide privacy from peeping neighbours and provide a calming effect on home and office interiors. As most large picture windows have bay windows on each side, they provide two uninterrupted views. Depending on the size of your frame, your view can be either across the bay or along the other side of the frame. If you need to enjoy the natural light and open space of a garden or yard, a bay window will let in ample natural light into your home or office. Bay windows work great in a gazebo or at the back of a patio.

If you want to enjoy the view without having to fully angle your windows, there are options with large picture windows that have two single hung windows. Some have a slightly larger opening than the others, but both provide excellent views. Single hung windows offer the same benefits as a bay window without the large opening. As with bay windows, single hung windows require two independent poles to support their weight. One of the advantages of single hung windows is that they can provide natural light without the need for a skylight. Another benefit of single hung windows is that they leave more room around the perimeter of the window area for ventilation and lighting.

Of all the options that allow you to enjoy the natural light and open space, tilt turn and hopper windows have one of the best overall qualities. Tilt turn and hopper windows allow you to enjoy your room’s natural light without worrying about disturbing or using up the space that would be provided by a larger, double-hung window. With a tilt turn and hopper window, you have control over how much light and air flow comes through the window. You can choose to keep the lights on in the living room while allowing some light to enter through the small opening on the side of the window.

Knowing your price range will help you eliminate options that don’t meet your needs.

Windows with high EER ratings will keep your heating and cooling costs down, even if you have to spend a little more for them.
