The right window style for your kitchen not only impacts the overall aesthetic of one of your home’s most frequented spaces, but it also plays a key role in providing the necessary ventilation and natural light. In this article, Renewal by Andersen®
highlights the top four kitchen window styles to consider.
1. Casement Windows
Casement windows have always been popular for kitchens due to their versatility and ease of use. These windows are hinged at the side and open outward to let in copious amounts of fresh air. They also provide a great view if your kitchen overlooks a garden or backyard.
2. Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are another excellent style option for your kitchen. Not only are they stylish, but they also offer great functionality, featuring two moving sashes that can be opened from either the top or bottom. This flexibility allows for better air circulation, keeping your kitchen fresh and cool, especially during those hot summer days.
3. Gliding Windows
Sliding windows, which we refer to as gliding windows, are particularly beneficial if you want functionality and space-saving efficiency. These windows slide horizontally, saving space that swinging windows would otherwise occupy — a handy feature if your kitchen is on the smaller side. Additionally, their wide design allows for plenty of sunlight to enhance the natural ambiance of your kitchen space.
4. Bay and Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows make a stunning addition to any kitchen. They protrude out of your home, creating a charming nook inside. This additional space can be used as a cozy breakfast area or to display your favorite kitchen herbs. These windows also let in a generous amount of light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Whether you prefer the practicality of double-hung windows or the charm of bay and bow windows, picking the right window style can work wonders for your kitchen space’s overall look and feel.
