Our clients are always looking for efficient ways to let more natural light into their living spaces. Here are some of the window and door upgrades you should consider to help you brighten your home!
Modernize the Bay Windows
We transformed outdated bay windows into modern, energy-efficient focal points, completely altering the home’s aesthetic. You can check out the whole project here.
The new window was much wider, replacing the old five-panel bay window. By squaring the window off, we eliminated many of the obstructions in the glass, creating a wide view of the front yard and allowing more light to flood into the home. The triple-pane glass ensured far better performance in terms of insulation and energy efficiency.
Expand the Windows and Patio Doors
By enlarging the windows and doors in this project, we brought more natural light into the home, enhancing both the aesthetic and the atmosphere.
The client wanted more of a view of their backyard, which backs onto the ravine, and to let in more of the beautiful southern exposure sunlight. By opening the entire wall up, we replaced the 8ft sliding door setup with a 12ft wide quad system – giving the homeowner an amazing, unobstructed view of the outdoors and making their home feel more spacious.
Install a Screen Room
Check out this screen room transformation for a client that wanted a cozy space they could use 3 seasons of the year. The full project can be found here.
We installed a custom screen and wall system to blend indoor and outdoor living, flooding the room with natural light. This system includes high-quality screens that can be easily opened or closed, allowing the client to control the airflow and keep out bugs while enjoying the beauty of nature. The results speak for themselves: a room that feels more open, airy, and makes the client feel like they are outdoors – while in the comfort of their home.
Upgrade to Multi-Fold Windows
We installed multi-fold windows in this kitchen to create a stunning passthrough to the 3-season room. View the whole renovation here.
This client wanted more light to flood into the kitchen, and to be able to entertain guests from the kitchen into the 3-season room. When the multi-fold window is open, there is a 9ft unobstructed view to the next room, allowing for easy interaction with guests. When closed, the window soundproofs the room, making it cozier while still letting in plenty of natural light. We’ve got a blog on the benefits of a folding window system!
When it comes to window upgrades, we provide top-quality, custom solutions sourced from a diverse range of manufacturers and tailored to your needs. We focus on best practices during installation, ensuring that the building envelope and siding products are properly addressed.
Additionally, we can modify your home’s structure to accommodate larger or additional windows and doors and oversee all aspects of the project, so you don’t have to worry about managing various trades or workers. Sometimes, even smaller projects require multiple trades to do the job right.
