Getting San Jose, CA window replacement done on a house that really needs new windows can be very exciting. You get to have the efficiency you’ve always wanted, and you can put a fresh, new look inside and outside of your home. While you know efficiency is high on your priority list, you might also want to make changes to the current windows in your house. Perhaps adding a picture window has crossed your mind. Here are a few reasons to consider that thought more deeply.
You Don’t Use Certain Windows
If you have some operating windows in one room of the house, but you don’t open and close them—ever, there’s no reason to keep the functionality of those windows. Instead, put in a picture window that gives you a cohesive view, plenty of natural light, and no access to opening and closing. Picture windows will likely cost less and since you don’t open your current windows, they fit in well.
You Want More Natural Light
If there’s a room in your house that could use some more natural light, there’s nothing better you can do than add a picture window. If you have space for more windows in the room, picture windows bring in the most light and they can come in any size or shape you want so they can fit just about anywhere. You can have a low-E coating put on the glass so the light will come through, but the heat of the sun and the UV rays will stay out.
Efficiency Is Highly Important
When you are getting new windows, efficiency is already on your radar. While most new windows are highly efficient, the style that can do the most for you in that area is a picture window. Since these windows don’t open and close, they don’t have any moving parts that leak air in the future. If you don’t plan to ventilate a room with a certain window, going with a picture window will give you further efficiency.
You Want More View
Many houses in this region have stellar views and if you can’t get enough of yours, picture windows can bring more of that view to you even while you are inside. Perhaps you like watching the sunset, seeing the kids play out back, or taking in the scenes around you. Whatever it is, you’ll have better access to it through a picture window.
