Increasing Fresh Air With Window Replacement
Windows have several main goals. First, they allow you to see outside of your home. Second, they allow natural light to come in. And third, they are able to ventilate your home and give you the fresh air you want. If you aren’t getting enough of one of those things, it’s important to fix that aspect when you are in the market for replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA. Living in California means there are plenty of nice days to go around. You can increase the amount of fresh air you get into your home when you get new windows. Here are a few ways to do just that.
Add Windows
The most obvious thing to do when you want more air in your home is to get more windows. You can add windows across the room from other windows so you can get some cross ventilation going. Or add windows to rooms that are too stuffy, even with what you already have. The more windows you have, the more fresh air is possible when you want to open the house to the outdoors.
Change Styles
Even if you don’t have a good place to add windows, you can change the way your home flows with air by changing out the style of your current windows. The best window style for ventilation is the casement window. These windows open fully from top to bottom as they crank out. They can catch the wind and swoop it into your house with ease. If you currently have single hung windows and like that look, you can get double hung windows that open on both the top and the bottom for better access to fresh air.
Get Operating Windows
Not every window opens and closes and if you have some non-operational windows in your home now, a good solution to getting more air into the home is to trade those out for windows that do open. If you have a window above the kitchen sink, for example, just for looks, get a casement window you can crank open to get some air flow.
Ventilation is one of the many jobs windows have and if you aren’t happy with the way your current windows do that job when you get new windows, it’s a good time to make changes in that area as well as in many other areas.
