    Things to Keep in Mind When Reworking Corner Windows

    Corner windows are an asset to any home. They capture outdoor views like no other design, bathe the interior with sunlight, and create an illusion of space. If you plan to rework them, give your project a lot of thought to make the most out of the project.

    Things to Keep in Mind When Reworking Corner Windows

    Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey and New York Metro shares the key things to keep in mind when replacing your corner windows:

    Window Style

    Picture windows are a popular choice. While they provide an unbroken view, they offer no ventilation opportunities. If humid rooms are in question, such as the kitchen and the bathroom, it pays to have a means to breathe out excessive moisture. Otherwise, condensation, along with its undesirable consequences (like mold growth or water damage) will be a constant concern.

    We recommend a combination of fixed and operating windows to capitalize on wonderful panoramas and admit fresh drafts at the same time. After all, casements comprise only a single panel, eliminating any glass obstruction.

    Furniture Arrangement

    Corner windows make a great destination for conversations. The usual dilemma, however, is placing the furniture the right way. A good rule of thumb is to consider the glass size. If it stretches from the floor to the ceiling, it’s advisable to put it a few feet away from the window to avoid breaking the view. If it occupies just the top portion of the wall, arrange an L-shaped couch to cover L-shaped blank space.

    Also, put a premium on see-through furniture. Acrylic and glass are the best materials for producing an open vibe.

    Grille Design

    Use grilles to make your corner windows mesh with the rest of your design. With the right pattern, you can keep your home stay true to form. You can play with grilles to make casement windows masquerade as double-hung units as well.
