Which Window Styles Are Ideal for Kitchens?

Windows affect your home’s appeal, atmosphere, comfort and energy efficiency. They can provide much-needed illumination and ventilation in your kitchen. If you’re unsure which styles will complement the heart of your home, you can always consult reliable professionals like Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City. 

Here are window styles to consider for your kitchen. 

Double-Hung Windows

All rooms will benefit from double-hung windows, including your kitchen. They feature operable top and bottom sashes that can improve the room’s ventilation. Do you have kids at home? The more you should consider these windows. They have two sets of safety latches on both sides that keep them from being opened wider than 3 or 5 inches. 

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows are ideal for kitchens where space is an issue. You should also consider installing them above sinks and counters. If you have physically challenged loved ones, these windows are a great option since they are easy to open. Thanks to their expansive glass area, you will enjoy a brighter kitchen and more outdoor views. Like double-hung windows, they can contribute to effective passive ventilation. 

Casement Windows

Casements will make the perfect addition to the heart of your home. They make controlling airflow in your space easier because they open outwards on a crank. You can even open them completely to allow more fresh air into the room, and they can boost your home’s curb appeal, regardless of its architectural style. Casements can also add another layer of security to your humble abode due to their locking mechanism. 

Still can’t decide which windows to choose for your kitchen? At Renewal by Andersen of Rapid City, our experts will help you select windows for every room in your home. Call us at (605) 341-7831 or fill out our online form to schedule a free consultation.
