By integrating more natural light into your home, you are capable of enjoying a rich and completely full spectrum hue that cannot be duplicated by artificial lighting sources. Natural light not only aids in offsetting your home’s energy costs, it also plays a role in increasing the serotonin levels in your body, which helps you feel better physically and mentally.

Today, there are several types of replacement windows that will significantly increase the amount of natural light experienced in the interior regions of your home. In this brief guide, you will be introduced to the top 3. 

1. Arched Windows 

Arched windows range from middle-sized to large. The bottom half is typically rectangular-shaped and the top is in the shape of an arch or a half-circle. The rounded top enhances the aesthetics of any home – regardless of architectural design. In most instances, arched windows do not open or close.

However, they are typically situated above traditional windows that do open and close so that ventilation may occur. The combination of straight corners and curves enhances both the interior and exterior of any room. Arched windows may also be integrated with a door for maximum appeal. 

2. Bay Windows 

Bay windows are specially-designed structures that are created so that they protrude out from an exterior wall. This results in the creation of a small shelf-like space within the home. These are dependent upon flat windows that are placed within a frame that angles.

In most instances, there is a center window, a left side window, and a window placed on the right side. The windows are typically angled at either 30 degrees or 40 degrees – as a standard. Other degree angles may be incorporated. These not only let in a vast array of natural light, but beautify both the exterior and interior of the home – as a whole. 

3. Picture Windows 

If you want to allow in a lot of sunlight into the home, a picture window is the way to go. In addition to pulling in all that natural light, these windows are perfect for the homes that are situated on a lush, vibrant lawn, a mountain range, or along the water.

This type of replacement window will allow you to enjoy optimal natural light on the interior of your home and the gorgeous view situated outside of your home. These do not include frames that have breaks. The frames are not visible. Therefore, you quickly gain a large, unobstructed view and massive amounts of natural light throughout your home.
